Dear County Commissioners,
Weld County Road 18 is one of the last best places to live in southwest Weld County. It is becoming
increasingly rare to find such an amazing place.
I will not argue that Mr. and Mrs. Schneider have the right to sell some of their property to enjoy a less
stressful way of life.
It does worry me about the precedence that will be set for more homes to be built.
Frederick has become a direct neighbor to my east, with the possibility of multiple homes. Why not
preserve this area as many of our farming neighbors have done by offering their property as Open
Space?
Our schools are beyond capacity and water will always have to be a concern.

Docket # 2004-82
Dear Sir or Madam:
Regarding Change of Zone # 629, I feel that the location is altogether wrong for a
subdivision of this size. With the development pressures that exist in Longmont, Erie,
Firestone, Frederick and Dacono there is precious little open space that can be used to
prevent these cities from merging into a gargantuan suburban sprawl. Once developed, these
areas are gone forever.
Approval of this request will set the precedent for further development in this area.
Please keep new development in the growth boundaries of the existing cities. Failure to do
so will destroy wildlife habitat, exacerbate problems of pollution, transportation, water
use and infrastructure and will undermine the quality of life for all who live in this
region.
Even city dwellers look to agricultural land and open space for respite from their
congested environs. I urge you to visualize two very different futures for this area. For
the first vision drive out to the corner of County Line Road and Weld County Road 18. Take
a drive down WCR 18 and then down WCR 16 and look around at what is now a very special
place. For the second vision drive down to the middle of Aurora or Littleton or Lakewood
and take another look around. This is the future that awaits us if no one prevents it.
Preserving the agricultural land and open space in our corner of Weld County for future
generations requires careful scrutiny by all involved in the
planning process.
Thank you for considering these comments and concerns.
Sincerely,
Terry Krafft
