RE: Case Number AmPF-431 (RS-1072)
I wish to submit this letter of protest regarding the proposed amendment to the PUD Final
Plat for Lot 1, Block 3 and the Open Space of the Western Dairymen Cooperative PUD.
Upon review of the case file and examination of the property, I have the following
'-"oncerns:
1)The proposed amendment reduces the preserved open space by approximately one acre, from
19 .33 acres to 18 .36 acres.
2)Additionally, the majority (approx. 84%) of the Oil & Gas Area has now been incorporated
into the open space parcel. This effectively reduces the preserved open space even
further, as evidenced by the large, desolate traffic area servicing these facilities.
These infringements on the dedicated open space parcel are proposed by the applicant to
increase development acreage and gain significantly more frontage on Highway 119 . I
believe these private benefits must be balanced by some measure of value (environmental,
recreational, or
scenic) to the open space, which is lacking in the current application.
Possible modifications to this proposal to make it more balanced with the public interest
and compatible with adjacent open space management (Idaho Creek PUD) include:
1) Reconfiguration of Lot 1 to minimize loss of open space (see attached example - area
bounded by green preserves approx. 19 acres) .
2) Paving access to the Oil & Gas Area to reduce vehicular traffic footprint (encroachment
on open space) and eliminate dust.
3)Eliminate vehicular access to the adjacent open space parcel to the south by means of
earthwork, gates, or other measures.
I believe these modifications can result in meeting the applicant ' s objectives while not
compromising the value of the open space parcel .
Thank you for your consideration.
