Mr. Lorenson : We have received a letter from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development , particul -
arly the Federal Housing Administration on Interladco .
They have written us a letter and it states , "After inspec-
tion of the site and a thorough study of the information
you furnished us , we regret to inform you that your propos-
al is ineligible for FHA participation due to the economic ,
environmental and other causes and lack of amenities to
provide favorable elements in the establishment of your
rural , remote , and premature development. Much criticism
has been voiced against the major population areas within
our jurisdiction for their policy on Urban sprawl . This
office has been directed to make an effort to inhibit this
uncontrolled expansion without directly interfering with
state or municipal policies . To support this control , it
is our policy to encourage contiguous developing within
areas and not when detached from other development or com-
munities . " - - - - " is in the Antelope Hill Addition north-
east of the City of Windsor. Building sites are available
in JeWnstown , Loveland and Greeley for the anticipated mar-
ket of this area which is the Kodak plant . A very serious
environmental impact exists in that. the subject land is
located in a prime agricultural community and County , the
number one County in the State of Colorado , and one of the
top ten counties in the country. It can be anticipated
that local environmental groups , as well as our own , would
oppose this subdivision proposal . It is evident that the
remoteness and isolation of this tract from existing resi -
dential and commercial development with their conveniences ,
and this location outside of the normal growth pattern for
this type of residential development would restrict the mar-
ket demand and make the anticipated absorption rate inadequate
to support an economical develnpment at this time , all of

which increases the level of risk beyond the limits of FHA
criteria . If you desire to proceed with your proposal on
a conventional basis , we may reconsider when an actual and
demonstrative demand for competitive properties in this loc-
ation has justified the prediction that there will be an
orderly absorption of this development . "
Mr. Lorenson : Interladco.

the sewer lagoon site for the proposed development .
Mr. :•Watson : Of course this letter doesn ' t stop
them from going ahead .
Mr. Lorenson : No . They can go conventional but
not FHA - - -

the conventional , they' re going to take a good strong look
at it , you bet they are .

tions .
Mr. Lorenson : In Interladco , Stobbe is the ram-
rod.

Mr. Lorenson : That ' s Interladco too , they just
called their development Powderhorn .
Mr. They ' re building that mobile home
park on I-25 , north of town .
