Ms . Barbara Kirkmeyer CLERK
Board of County Commissioners TO THE C `* !1
Greeley, Colorado
Dear Ms. Kirkmeyer, Re: SZ NE'** Sec 6 , T2N, R68W
We own property bordering the south end of Union Reservoir.
On the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area map dated 7-27-95 this
property was shown as Undesignated Land Use. We understood
that the Residential area would be expanded to include our
property and the neighboring properties west to County Line
Road.
We have just been made aware of the new I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area Comprehensive Plan Conceptual Land Use Map
which designates our property as Open Space. This is of great
concern to us . Our property and the neighboring properties
are not in the 100 year flood zone, therefore we feel this area
should not be designated as Open Space.
It appears the reason fordesignating our land as Open Space
is to enhance the City of Longmont ' s chance to acquire our
property for less than fair market value. Since they own the
land to the east of us and the recreation area to the northwest,
our property would conveniently give Longmont control of all
the land bordering the south side of Union Reservoir. This
is very disturbing, especially since we approached the City
of Longmont and gave the City an opportunity to purchase this
property at fair market value. The City of Longmont was
interested, but "didn' t have the money" to buy it.
Our occupation is farming. We are now at retirement age,
and as you know Farmers do not have the benefit of company
pensions, therefore we hope to use the proceeds from the sale
of this property to help make our retirement more comfortable
and enjoyable.
We currently have a contract to sell our property, however
if our land is designated Open Space it will deny us the right
to expect the fair market value. In our opinion it would be
unfair for any property owner to have to accept less than the
fair market value for their land. Therefore, we would ask Weld
County to designate this property, and any other properties
south of Union Reservoir that are not in the 100 year flood
zone, as Residential rather than Open Space. This will allow
us to fulfill our contract, and Weld County can benefit from
the increased tax revenue.
Sincerely, f, /
