Mike Brand explained this will be a pre-parole facility approximately 1/2 mile north of Highway 119. The PUD Plan will be in an already approved PUD District on 54.6 acres (22 acres will be the actual building site) . Mike stated there would be no detrimental effects to the surrounding property owners. There are adequate utilities to the property. He explained this is a pre-release training facility for parolees. It is an intense program to prepare them for their release. The facility will be a 386 bed unit and employ 110 people. There are medical and dental treatment facilities, a law library, and a gym on-site. This will not be a work release building, no one will be allowed to leave the facility. Mike explained the type of offenders that would be housed at this facility. The inmates will be transferred to and from the facility, no one will be releases out the front door. The program activity center will focus on programs to establish community linkages for continued treatment. There will be six classroom hours per weeks, every day of the week. The average stay of an inmate will be 90 days. Lauren Blye explained he has 20 years of correctional experience. He read various studies that eliminated concerns regarding escape risks, visitors to the facility, increased crime in the area, and the devaluation of properties in the area. He also compared a facility of this size to various other facilities and communities across the United States. Vern Nelson, Engineer, gave a detailed technical presentation regarding the site. The Chairperson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. Gerald Dahl, Attorney, representative, for southwest Weld County citizens (Frank Canepa, Frank Bigelow, Susan Halkin, Mike Halleck, Wendy Hoffman, Jo An Lasley, Diane Aites, Stan Olson, Larry Abbott, and Bud Hopper) , handed out exhibits and explained the burden of proof is on the applicant. Gerald Dahl stated he believes the applicant hasn' t met the burden of proof. He requested the Planning Commission recommend denial until the Planned Unit Development has been amended to include prisons. Prison uses are not allowed under these guidelines and this application should go back for rezoning. He felt that under the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, this district has been abandoned. It is irrelevant whether or not the County has followed this before, it is a law. Prison uses were not 931249 SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING October 5, 1993 Page 8 contemplated when the Planned Unit Development was approved. The Board of County Commissioners Resolution in 1989 approved the zone change and grants rezoning from A (Agricultural) to PUD which includes C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, and I-1 uses as listed. If you go to the list for that time period (Weld County Zoning Ordinance) , pre-parole facility is not included. He stated the applicant argues this is a rehabilitation facility, but it is a stretch of the imagination to assume a pre-parole/prison facility can be considered a rehabilitation facility. The Chairperson asked if there was anyone else in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. Bonnie Shields, Rochelle Wahlert, Jimmie Joan Angelo, Kathy Oliver, Cathy Diesing, Larry Abbott, June Gordon, Doris Huffaker, Sandy Ingram, Jerome M. Kulm, and Virginia Scheel all had similar concerns. They are all opposed to this application because police/fire protection is already inadequate in this area, possible abandonment if financial support is withdrawn, child/grandchild safety concerns, escape fears, high powered lights on at night, increased traffic, and concern about possible expansion onto the remaining acreage in the future. Mike Brand recapped his original presentation. The Chairperson asked if the applicant was in agreement with the Department of Planning Services staff recommendation. Mike Brand said yes. Keith Schuett read the recommendation into the record. Richard Kimmel moved Case Number S-344, The Villa at Greeley, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission' s recommendation for approval. Bill O'Hare seconded the motion. The Chairperson asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Juliette Kroekel - yes; Richard Kimmel - no; Bill O'Hare - no; Shirley Camenisch - no; Marie Koolstra - no; Bud Clemons - no; Judy Yamaguchi - no. Motion for approval denied.

Constance Harbert, Chairman r'. P . O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Ms . Harbert : As a resident of Southwestern Weld County I have had the opportunity to evaluate all of the issues concerning the location of a pre-parole facility in our community. One of the significant issues that may have been overlooked in all of these discussions is the fact that this facility is being promoted by individuals who live outside our community. Their motivations are not consistent with the community as exhibited by the petitions signed by over 1, 100 individuals opposing this project . Upon careful thought and consideration, I must state my opposition to this facility. I am aware that nine different communities along the front range have rejected similar proposals upon evaluation. I do not believe that it is in the best long term interests of the area to encourage or promote this type of development--regardless of its compatibility with the zoning regulations . This community is not prepared to serve as an experimental site to prove or disprove this business concept . The risks associated with this effort significantly outweigh any anticipated or perceived rewards; and the financial benefit for very few individuals should not take precedence over the wishes of a significant majority. As our representative on the Board of Commissioners, I am asking you to represent your constituents and oppose any and all efforts to locate this facility in unincorporated Southwest Weld County.

George Baxtor, Constance Harbert, Dale Hill, i arb Kirkmeyer, Bill Webster RE: Proposed Del Camino Pre-Parole Prison Facility Dear Commissioners, This letter is in regards to plans of The Villa Company of Greely to place a "pre-parole" (prison) facility in south west Weld county in the vicinity of Del Camino. We are two of the approximately 1,400 people described by John Coppmon of The Villa as "hysterical", "contentious", and "outspoken", members of the public who have signed a petition opposing the location of this prison in our community. In June, we attended a meeting sponsored by the Concerned Citizens Group of Del Camino regarding the planned prison facility and were pleased to see that attendance at this meeting left standing room only. Following the meeting at Rinn Church, we have read several newspaper articles which have depicted this facility as a harmless job generating facility that will only house "non-violent" offenders. As more people have began to investigate this facility it has become clear that some of the people housed in the facility will in fact be repeat offenders of violent crimes. However, regardless of the placement of violent or non-violent offenders in this facility, what might go on inside the controlled facility does appear to be the major concern of people. A greater concern was voiced regarding changes expected outside the facility due to the visitation rights granted to prisoners friends and family. This is an extremely valid issue in our opinion and it appeared to be an issue for many of the families gathered at Rinn Church during the meeting in June. As one father asked during the meeting, "who is going to watch out for my children waiting for the school bus at the end of a long lane on a day which happens to correspond with prisoner visitation days ?". Any one who tries to tell us that the all of the people who will come to visit the prisoners are just like you and me is not facing reality. At a time when small communities all along the front range are trying to fight off the very real threat of gang infiltration, it appears that Weld County officials may endorse a plan which will assist in introducing drug dealers, gang members and their friends and families to our rural communities. We realize that police protection in Weld County is limited by the sheer size of the county and by financial constraints and do not believe that the Sheriffs Department will be able to provide the increased enforcement that will be required by persons "outside" the facility. It is our opinion that the south-west portion of Weld County, if properly managed, will continue to attract businesses and organizations which will yield both a positive image and economic benefit to Weld County while still maintaining the rural character of this area. 4.11/b/h/ « : PL licCC 9.71249 9-,14,49 Although the prison facility may provide a short term economic benefit to the county and local area, we do not feel that this short term return is worth the potential negative long term impacts that will be generated by the facility. Given time, local residents and business may become accustomed to living next to a "pre-parole" facility, however, newcomers and potential new businesses will view the facility as a prison, plain and simple! Their first impressions will be identical to the first impressions of the 1,400 people who have signed the petition. Common sense dictates that most families or businesses, given a choice, would prefer to be in a community that does not have a prison versus one that does!!! We do not view ourselves or other members of this community as hysterical, contentious, or outspoken. We simply agree along with 1,400 other people that a prison is not in the best interest of Del Camino or any other surrounding communities. It appears that our only option for preventing this prison facility is to solicit support from elected Weld County officials who will make the decisions regarding this facility. We would like to make clear our direct opposition to this prison facility. We do not wish to see this type of development forced on our community and are ready to extend all necessary efforts in conjunction with the Concerned Citizens Group of Del Camino to prevent this facility. We would greatly appreciate your support and understanding in this matter and hope that you agree that the residents of any community should be allowed to make the decision on whether or not a prison facility is placed in there community.

Box 758 Greely, CO 80632 Constance, I will be brief. I am a registered voter, property owner, and citizen of Weld County. You have been elected to be my voice. I want you to help me fight the proposed pre-parole prison facility in Weld County. I am not misinformed, I am not uninformed, I have researched both sides of the issue and based my decision on the facts. The reasons are many. I will list only a few. 1. I will beg for more Weld County police protection even though the planners do not see the need. This will have to be paid for with tax dollars. 2 . It would no longer be an attractive place for new business of the kind we would like to see. 3 . It upsets the rural community atmosphere that makes this area so attractive to new business and development. 4 . When this area was zoned, this community had in mind a church and a school, not any type of prison facility. 5 . There is no control over the visitors who will be driving down our country roads. The same country roads where our children stand alone to wait for their school buses. 6. Good businesses, of the kind we would like to invite, are already moving in to this area. Houser Chemical, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Specialty Products, Etc. We don't need this facility to help our economy in any way. It is beginning to grow just fine without it, why ruin a good thing. 7 . The builders have admitted to selecting this area because it is easy. The utilities needed are already there saving them big dollars, the zoning is set up too easy, the highway is in their front yard. They did not choose here because they thought it would blend into the community well. This section of Weld County has been a dumping ground for projects no one else wants because we have little representation. We are not recognized as a part of the Longmont community, and we are far enough away from Greely that people are not interested. To Denver we are just a spot on the highway. Again, you are MY voice, please vote this down. �— I Rita Trostel 9843 Weld Co.

I am tired of the opponents' lying and intimidating efforts to defeat this facility. I have friends who almost had to literally throw the opposition's "petition passers" off their property! They just would not take "no" for an answer. Moreover, they belittled and argued with the people who refused to sign their petition! I am a professional career woman who has personal experience with family who have been incarcerated. I hope you can understand how insulted I feel when I hear that the opponents to this facility are mainly worried about the visitors who may come to "their area" to see their family or loved ones. Ha!

The park is home to Specialty Products, Inc. and Hauser Chemical Research, Inc. and will hopefully attract other high quality clean industry for Weld County in the future.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: DEL CAMINO PRISON FACILITY Dear Ms. Connie Herbert: I am writing, as the President of Specialty Products Company, to express my strong objection to the possible location of a pre- release prison in the Del Camino area. My concern centers more on the visitors to the prison rather than the prisoners themselves. We all know that gang members will be in this facility and that their friends and fellow gang members will be coming to visit them. That means we will have a larger number of these people in our area than we have ever had before. Our new 40,000 sq. ft. facility is highly visible from I-25. With Denver cracking down on these individuals, I am certain that our facility would be a very tempting target as would all the private homes and businesses in the area. The Denver Police Department with all of it's assets has not been able to control these people. We have a good sheriff's department but they have no where near the resources to deal with the element you would bring into our area. I support growth. Your enterprise zone is excellent and one of the reasons we located in the Del Camino Industrial Park. However, if we had known of the possibility of a prison in the area, we would have located in a different location. There are too many other fine locations that would not subject us to the additional risk of this type of facility. I suspect that many other C.E.O. 's share my opinion. The approval of this facility will stunt quality growth in the Del Camino area. Many of us have made and plan on making additional financial commitments to southwest Weld County. Please don't pull the rug out from under our feet. Please reject the prison application. Sincerely, 4.4 Marwan K.

Rd. 20 Longmont, CO 80504 (303)651-3215 November 1 , 1993 To All County Commissioners; It has come to my attention that the Villa of Greeley is continuing to pursue their interests in the building of a Pre-parole prison in our community. (Case # S-344-The Villa at Greeley) As a business owner , land owner, homeowner and a parent I am totally opposed to this facility being built in our area . My business is presently located at 3783 WCR 20 within the Rinn United Methodist Church. This is only 11/2 miles from the proposed prison site. We offer Pre-school , Daycare, Kinder- garten, and Elementary programs for children. I feel the prison will be a devastating detriment to our community. Just recently our economy has begun to pick up. With the building of this facility in our area I feel that the quality of life, safety of our community and our economic development will suffer tragically. When questioning my students (Ages ranging from 3 to 10 years of age) concerning the prison some of their comments were as follows . "I would be afraid . " "I think it is a bad idea . " " I would be afraid that a prisoner would get out and steal guns and kids . " " I would be afraid that they would come to our school when they escape . " " I would want to move away. " Not one student had a positive comment to make , all feared the facility. The students were asked in a very neutral manner of which no prejudice or presumptions were made prior to questioning. We only discussed the definition of a prison. One student stated, "It ' s where you go when you are too bad to go to jail . " My husband and I are relocating my business of 14 years at the Rinn Church to the Indian Peaks Industrial Park. Our new location will be only one mile south of our present location . We will serve 75 children ages 21/2 to 12 years of age. We will have easy access to the I-25 frontage road from Road 18 . We are greatly concerned of the children ' s and parent ' s safety should the facility be built so close to the school . Please do not recommend the building of this facility-it will be the downfall of our community. My husband , two children and I reside at 4895 WCR 22 , only one mile from the proposed facility. We will anticipate selling our home should the facility be allowed to be built . I am sure that other homeowners in the area feel the same. There will be 6(h/ /71- M/21 c ; �l, o ce- no hope for any further economic development or new housing should the facility be built . Who would like to live next door or hold their business near a prison holding almost 400 prisoners? Would you? Would you want a prison in your backyard? Would you allow a prison to be built only 22 miles from the school that your child attends? Please ask yourself these questions before making your recommendation. Please respect the citizens of the southwest Weld County community in their struggle to stop the building of this facility. We want to continue to keep the quality of life in our area . We encourage all types of positive new businesses in our area . The building of this facility will have a definate negative impact on our lives , our children, our businesses and our futures . Please place your vote against the Pre-parole prison on December 8 . We are counting on you.

Further to a review of those by WYCO's Joan Swenson, following are comments and conditions for the proposed usage of our right of way area. 1. In an effort to preserve the public safety and environment, WYCO feels it necessary to replace approximately 150' of our pipeline with heavy walled pipe at the area of the road crossing. The cost of such will be reimbursed by the developer. 2. A minimum of 5' of cover shall be placed over our right-of-way by the developer in the area of the road crossing. 3. Should it be necessary to cross our pipeline with heavy equipment in any areas, the developer shall provide 5' of cover in these areas prior to crossing. 4. Both the proposed sewer line and water line shall cross under our pipeline with at least 2' of separation. Further, the crossings shall be as near to 90° as possible and not less than 45°. There shall be no parallel with any facility within our right-of-way area. 5. The developer shall enter into a written agreement with WYCO agreeing to terms, conditions and provisions as generalized above.

Box 758 Greeley, Co. 8O632 Dear Commissioners: I have lived in my home almost forty years. I do not like to see farm land sold for any kind of development especially a prison. I do not want a prison built near my home. What if a prisoner escaped, got a gun and went into one of the restaurants where a bus load of kids stopped to eat on their way to a ball game. is loads of kids stop there to eat all the time during the school year. Also the Airporter van stops at the corner to pick up or leave people going to the airport. There are lots of tourists who stop to eat or buy gas. And Mead school isn't that far away. I would not feel safe at all if you okay a prison. Would you want a prison close to you? Sincerely, ,/ Margaret Hill ()45 CAL: mil /.m ce. Longmont, Colorado November 7,1993 To: Weld County Commissioners From: Stanley Olson, Del Camino Resident This letter is submitted to protest the pre-parole facility being planned for this area. I and the majority of the residents of Southwest Weld adamantly oppose this facility for several reasons: Neighborhood safety, property values, and the effects on potential growth in this area are my major concerns. Safety isssue stems front the fact that there is a definite risk that this type of facility entertains. The type of people that visit the inmates, plus the chance of a escapees endangering the local neighborhood. The sponsors of this prison quote Ann Garrison's report that property values increased near prison facilities. This very general statement is very misleading. They also state that property values increased near the jail located near the Boulder Airport. That is probably true, however after talking to a Boulder Realtor a few days ago stated that property values rose, but not because of the jail. That particular area was the only area that was available for development, due to the no-growth policy of Boulder City government. As one speaker stated at the planning commission hearing October 5th, she said "that's just Boulder", meaning that Boulder should not be used as a benchmark to determine policies in other localities in Colorado. This Realtor also stated that home buyers will pay more for a lesser house in an upscale area such as Table Mesa rather than locate near a jail. I interpret that statement to mean property values are negatively affected by a jail rather than positively as the jail officials would like us all to believe. Another item of great importance, I believe, is the potential detrimental effect on growth along the 1-25 corridor. Presently, a sanitation line is being installed from the Del Camino area down to Colorado 52, and perhaps beyond to Road S. This area will have all the necessary utilities on-site for commercial and residential development. So far Hauser Chemical, Specialty Products, Flatiron Structures, and the Colorado National ward have located here. These are premier type industries, and from my experience, first class neighbors. It would seem logical to me, that you as commissioners, could see the risk of future development being negatively affected by this prison. I am aware that the St. Vrain Sanitation District would like to sell more sewer taps, and United Power more meters. What would be immediate benefit in the short term could well manifest itself into permanent damage in the long term. As one member of the Tri-Area planning commission said at their meeting some time ago to the effect; "the 1-25 corridor is a prime location , we can pick and choose who we want". I wholeheartedly agree. Let us flaunt it, not damage it. We will be sorry later, and then it will be too late. I urge and implore you, elected Commissioners of Weld County, that you listen to the pepple, and vote NO on this prison. lson Del Camino Resident STANLEY OLSON 4306 WELD COUNTY RD. 22 LONGMONT, CO. 60604 ce Nc.383,7 WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS P.O.

The proposed building site is in the Mountain View Fire Protection District, which is a Title 32 Special District, under Colorado State Statue 32-1-1002 Fire Protection Districts. Mountain View has the additional responsibility beyond fire protection as stated in paragraph C; "To undertake and to operate as part of the duties of the Fire Protection District an ambulance service, an emergency medical service , a rescue unit, and a diving and grappling service . " Mountain View provides all of the above services either on its own or through contracts. As one example, Mt. View contracts with Professional Ambulance and Tri-Area Ambulance to transport injured parties. The three stations responding to emergencies in this area are : Station #2 , WCR 13 and 24 , manned by 11 volunteers; Station #3, located in the Town of Mead with 11 volunteers; and Station #1 , one and three-quarter miles south of Highway 119 on County Line Road, with a two man paid response crew. Both Station #3 and Station #1 are a distance of six miles from the proposed site . On highways, the State patrol investigates accidents and issues citations, Mountain View is responsible for the injured parties, traffic control, and clean up. The Sheriff investigates criminal action on private property except for arson. Again, Mountain View is responsible for injuries to persons and property. Mountain View does its own arson investigation with the help of the County Sheriff ' s office, when needed. 94nt s9 �K 11../ cc : Spa)') Weld County Commissioners November 10, 1993 Page 2 . The average response time for Mountain View is approximately eight minutes. For the Sheriff, approximately 35 minutes and the State Patrol, approximately 45 minutes. As you can see the first emergency response in this area is the citizen-tax payer volunteering their time and energy protecting life and property. There is in fact a Sheriffs ' substation at Station #2, WCR 13 and 24 but, it isn' t manned on a regular basis, maybe on the average of 2 hours per day. This substation is in fact a political bag of worms at best. The District provides this substation on a year to year lease at a cost of $75 . 00 per month to the County. This cost does not even cover utility costs. There has been some concern expressed by the tax payers of the District as to why Mountain View is subsidizing the County Sheriffs ' office , and this may even have to change . Since this facility is privately owned, on site life and property emergencies now become the responsibility of Mountain View by State Statute . Mountain View has answered 158 emergency calls in a five mile radius of the proposed site this year - fifteen structure and vehicle fires, 10 ag burns, 110 EMS calls which include accidents, and 23 miscellaneous calls, for example odor/smoke investigations, assists, and standby. Mountain View covers 220 square miles, approximately one-half in Boulder and one-half in Weld Counties. Something else you need to consider, all of the emergency tones for Mountain View originate out of Boulder County. All of these calls were answered by one or both volunteer stations backed up by Station #1 with the two man paid crew. Total calls for Mountain View this year will be approximately 1, 400 for the district. As of November 1 , 1993, the calls total 1, 250. The local residents of the area have paid their dues. Not only in tax dollars, but in time spent training and answering emergency calls, just so we would have some degree of protection of life and property. 931.213 Weld County Commissioners November 10, 1993 Page 3. I realize that growth is the only way to increase budgets for any and all taxing entities. But, I for one, do not consider this type of facility in an area with minimal law enforcement and only volunteer emergency personnel , who are citizens and tax payers of the community, to protect property and life a smart decision on anyone ' s part. I care about my community. I ' ve demonstrated that by spending 8-1/2 years as a fire fighter EMT responding to emergency calls and 14 years as a member of the Board of Directors of Mountain View. As a Board Member, I also have to provide training and protection to all of the emergency responders. I accept my responsibility as an elected official of Mountain View Fire Protection District. I hope and pray that you, also, as elected officials of Weld County consider the safety and needs of this community and vote NO. I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Weld County Commissioners Post Office Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Villa of Greeley Pre-Parole Prison Facility Ladies and Gentlemen: I am writing to you to express my deep concern over the location of a pre-parole prison facility in our area. We are a small (husband and wife) business with our office located close the proposed site of this facility, and we own a home in the area in Highland Estates . My husband has frequent business trips out of town, leaving me in the office alone. Many times I must come back after hours and check the mail , or get an important letter out . Currently I do not worry about going to the office alone at night . However, if a pre-parole prison facility were to be located just down the road, I could no longer do this . In my opinion, the visitors (and I 'm not talking about the moms and dads) of the residents of this facility would be a threat to our community . There is no doubt in my mind that some of the visitors would be former acquaintances or "business partners" of the residents. Whether it might involve burglary, drugs or rape is unknown; but I do know that if this facility is built , we will undoubtedly have to consider moving our office into Longmont . From a personal standpoint , we moved our family from Arvada 10 years ago to live in a quiet , peaceful community, to get away from the problems of a large city. Our children have gone on bike rides around the area, and my teenage son has camped and fished with his friends at Barbour Ponds State Park. With the location of the pre-parole prison facility, this would have to stop. I could not in good conscience allow them near Barbour Ponds , worrying about "visitors" in the area, and the bike rides would also stop. What a shame that my family and the rest of our area residents would no longer be able to enjoy this wonderful community as we do now. If the Weld County Sheriff ' s Department states that they can manage to patrol the area without additional staff , they K 14010 Mead Street - Longmont, CO 80504 • (303) 535-0203 • FAX (303) 535-0532 � �t Weld County Commissioners Page 2 November 9, 1993 are wrong . I have had to call the Sheriff 's Office twice in the ten years for automobile accidents and it took them 20-30 minutes to respond. Without additional staff , we would undoubtedly have a longer wait . This facility may also put a strain on our fire department , which now responds quickly to emergencies . Will we then have to wait for our emergency technicians or firemen, who might be on a call at the prison facility? I sincerely hope you will consider the ramifications to our community if this facility is approved by you. You do not live here, but we do . We will have to do the worrying, you won' t . We will be putting restrictions on our children, you won' t . Please remember this is our community, and what is best for our community is for you to vote against this pre-parole facility. You should speak for the community, and the community as a whole is against this facility. Sincerely, Donna R. Koehler 912 19 November 9, 1993 Weld County Commissioners P.O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Commissioners: As a property owner, taxpayer, and resident of Weld County in the Del Camino area, we are writing to ask that you give your utmost consideration and vote "NO" on the final review of application for the Pre Parole Prison being con- sidered for this area. Please consider our property values, property taxes, safety in our neighborhood, strangers frequenting the area, fire and law enforcement protection, quality of clientele, and drug and gang activity. We certainly do not need in our area what the Denver Metro area does not want. With all of the open space in other parts of Weld County that are not residential, why not consider those spaces rather than right in the middle of a rural residential area. We would like to think that the elected officials that we as property owners have elected will consider our interests and concerns and vote NO! Thank you for your time and consideration.

The magnitude of feeling against this institution should be clear if you consider the great num- ber of signatures on the petitions that have been submitted. The factors involved in arriving at our objections include , but are not limited to, the convicted felons housed so near a residential area, the traffic in and out of the area of a new and different type of people, depression of property values , noise and bright lights at night . The citizens of this area have been characterized by the Villa representatives , in news releases , as "hysterical and uninformed" . We have sat patiently through long repetitive presentations by the Villa representatives ; surely, there can- not be much further information to be had than that ! Please, also consider the recent recommendation AGAINST, by the Weld County Planning Commission . We strongly urge the Weld County Commissioners to reject this proposal .

As resident of the area , Iwish to express to yougiy -very strong objection to any plans for building this prison in the Del' Camino area . My objections have been made even stronger after having carefully listened to several presentations by the Villa representatives . This type of business venture certainly doesnot belong in a community where so many families reside . We have livedin the Enchanted Hills subdivision for 22 years , and are now retired . We can see the Del Camino area from our acreage . We no doubt would also see theprison lights . 1 . This prison would increase traffic at an already over-crowded intersection of I-25 and Highway 119 (road 24) . 2 . Fire and Police protection is not adequate for any increased needs : that would arise . 3 . The peace and quiet of our rural lives would be destroyed by the arrival of unsavory people . We would no longer feel safe in thiscommunity. Friends of prisoners , gangs and drugs , are not benificial to any of us here . Young people--and others--working at the fast-food restaurants in the Del Camino area would be at risk from such customers coming into this community. Campers in the nearby State Park would not feel safe-neither would we as residents of our rural and isolated homes . 4 . There are other businesses that could be attracted to this area that would be benificial to the county ' s tax needs . This Prison would bring us nothing but distress and worry. The Villa representatives seem to suggest that we in this area are un-informed . We actually are well informed, having, listened to the Villa presentation several times . I strongly urge you, as County Commissioners , to deny any plans to build any Pre-Parole Prison in the Del Camino Area . Sincerely, 7a4ty)Z7a ;ffZ/nte-e Mary Margot Mengel (Mrs .
