Re: Change of Zone Application for Pheasant Crest Estates
Case No. MZ-614
Dear Mr. Ogle:
We own and reside on 12 acres adjacent to the Brough property on which the"Pheasant
Crest Estates subdivision" has been proposed. Our property sits just across the Larimer County
Canal from the Brough property and the front windows of our home look directly over their
property to the Front Range. This view is the signature of our home and property.
For several reasons, we oppose the development, at least as we understand it to be
currently designed. Obviously, we wish to preserve our view, which was a principal reason for
purchasing the property in the first place and the reason we designed and situated our house as
we did. Any obstruction of our view will not only denigrate the aesthetic value of our property
and home, it will similarly reduce its market value.
We bought this property in 1992 as a 62 acre farm with the understanding that Weld
County was an agricultural county, and we were then interested in farming our land. We enjoy
rural life and all that it entails. We have since retired, and sold 50 of the acres to the Dyecrest
Dairy, our neighbor. We did that to preserve its rural character and to keep it in agriculture.
We understand that there is a chance the development would be approved in some form.
Although that would not be our preference, in case it happens, we would like to suggest
reasonable limitations on its character. Several restrictions seem appropriate:
—To preserve open space and the rural character, reduce
the proposed density to no more than three homes,
reasonably spread out across the Brough acreage.
—Designate building envelopes for houses and outbuildings
to ensure that our view will not be obstructed and that the aesthetic
enjoyment of our property will not be otherwise impaired.
—Restrict the height of all improvements, at least on lots 1 and 2,
to one story, not to exceed 20 feet.

opportunities to be heard on this proposal.
