Dear Sirs:
I am writing to you regarding the early projections on the housing unit suggested for
the 35 acres east of Sundering Lane, south of Spring Creek on 35 acres by Giuliano
and Father Construction Company. I have not seen the initial plans, but I understand
that the projected housing is individual units of a relatively low cost nature.
As a newly arrived professional in Fort Collins, the Spring Creek Trail is a unique
setting which was an initial attractant to my family, providing interest in moving to
Fort Collins. I would like to suggest that any housing unit in this region make strong
efforts to compliment the beauty and serenity of this region. Considering the previous
work of the contractor, he has demonstrated his ability to be unimaginative and
repetitive.
A recent article in the Coloradoan quoted how beautiful it was to bike on the Spring
Creek Trail and "listen to the meadowlarks". Construction of another housing complex
on this 35 acres will essentially eliminate the country value of this section of Spring
Creek Trail east of Rolland Moore Park.
I would like to suggest that this region either be preserved as a green belt or that
a more imaginative, low impact housing with an inviting appearance be considered for
such a pristine region. This might continue to allow Fort Collins to grow as a desired
area rather than be viewed as an area of rapid growth suggestive of the suburbs of
Denver.
I would appreciate your comments and updates on the aforementioned project. A
prompt reply would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Christopher Eriksen, M.D.
