Dear Glenn:
The Land Use sub-committee of the Planning Council of the Forward
Together program has asked me to pass along a few thoughts to you
concerning a proposed Comprehensive Plan. I think most of their
ideas were communicated during the hearing at the 4-H Building,
but they are most concerned that the following major points be given
further consideration before the plan is finally adopted.
Basically, the overall concept o£ planning and the use of planning
documents to order the growth of northern Colorado is acceptable to
this group. With that in mind they are concerned that not only
Weld County adopt a Comprehensive Plan, but that the entire northern
Colorado region be encouraged to proceed as rapidly as possible with
the development of a master development outline that can be adopted
and put into use before time runs out on us. Obviously, this regional
concept dictates that the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as it is
being proposed at the present time take into consideration what sort
of Comprehensive Plan would be adopted in Larimer County. Compati-
bility of the two documents is a keynote to their concerns.
Fitting into the Comprehensive Plan for a county are the master plans
for the several cities within the county that have undertaken to estab-
lish a planning process of their own. The group is concerned that
these city plans be compatible with the County Comprehensive Plan and
that the county retains some controls over property outside of corp-
orate limits of the city' s but immediately contiguous to them. The
concern in this matter is basically summed up by saying that the
Committee is concerned that uses of agricultural land not be dictated
by city dwellers totally and that the county retains some veto power
if at all possible, in such matters as annexation, zoning and restric-
tive designations for such uses as green belts and parks .
We appreciate your consideration of these matters and the points
raised by Carl Felte in his presentation at the public hearing. If
