Weld County Commissioners:
As a 12 year resident of rural Weld county in the Mead area
I am very concerned about the rapid expansion through annexation
by the town of Mead.
Weld county has always been known for its pro agricultural
stance, lets keep it that way.
I would respectfully suggest a moritorium on any further
annexations and that the town of Mead turn their attention to the
building, development and beautification of the down town business
district.
It has a seemingly uncaring attitu'e reguarling the wishe7
of most of the residents of the area. Many people are opposed to
this type of uncontrolled growth. This was demonstrated at the
January 4th Planning Board meeting.
Just because a land owner approaches the town of Mead requesting
annexation this should not be Carte Blanche for the town to approve
every request without being able to provide adequate services and
without carefull consideration to the concerns of other residents
in the area and the impact it will have upon them.
We are not opposed to controlled growth! But they dont seem
to have any comprehensive plans and are going in all directions
at once.
Is there anything that the county can do to help our voices
be heard?
