Mr. Glen Billings
Weld County Commissioner
9 Ave. & 9 Street
Greeley, Colorado
Dear Mr. Billinga:
The Greeley League of Women Voters is pleased to read in the
August 23rd Town and Country News that you expect passage of
the Weld County Comprehensive Land-Use flan within the near
future. Many hours of deliberations and thought must have
occurred between the commissioners and the planning staff to
come up with a plan as admirable as this one.
We azree with your statement that you wish to avoid an urban
sprawl, like Los Angeles, 1n Wald County by maintaining our
growth around the 27 incorporated towns in the county. We are
disturbed with your next statement that you might allow small
subdivisions to be placed in "non-productive" agricultural
land. This would mean to us, we will receive that urban sprawl
you expressed you didn't want. How can the county stop a small
development from becoming larger, once the services are there?
Is it fair to allow development of small enclaves that will
take far more in tax funds for services than do established
communities or their fringes? in making your final decision,
please overlook the wants of a few for the good of thousands
in the future.
We feel very strongly about this point and hope you do not
allow this section to be part of an otherwise grand
comprehensive plan.
Sincerely, ,
Connie Dedon, President
Greeley League of Women Voters
