Good remarks by all !!
Saber mentioned something that will be a good point at the meeting.
What about parking with all the activity within the very small area
and 9 homes jammed in. No turn around, cars in and out in that tight
"end of street". Again, It's not only the downgrading of our
wonderful country atmosphere but, as Tom says the danger to the
walkers, riders, kids etc with the increased traffic. I am afraid
that this development will only lead to further downgrades in the
future, i.e. the 2 acres on the Holm property, Franklin street
widened, and possibly putting Franklin through over the canal.
Increased traffic will eventually justify Centennial widening the
street, and possibly the bridge over Big Dry. We can't let these
dominoes start to fall.
Hope we can all make it to the meeting Friday,
Dick R

NC2A vs RA Zoning

My name is Saber Amine and my address is 6071 S Franklin Street. I have been a resident of Franklin Meadows since 2012. My family and I moved here because we fell in love with the laid-back and Country feel of the neighborhood. Before I share with you the technical aspects of what it means to allow the zoning changes, let me share some general thoughts about the proposed changes: 1- As many of you know Franklin St has no sidewalk and with the opening of the new bridge on the Highline Canal we are seeing a significant increase of pedestrian traffic. Now imagine increasing the auto traffic by 45%. This is a recipe for disaster for people and pets both on Franklin st and at the Orchard intersection. 2- If we allow the zoning changes, it would be hard to control what the developer will decide to do. Future plans and changes are mainly agreed on between the developer and the city. This is the only time we get to object to the changes.  3- Property values: Patio homes, multi units an...

Letter By Tom Smedley:

Kelly Hickler, Planner II City of Centennial Planning and Zoning Commission 13133 East Arapahoe Road Centennial, CO 80112 303-754-3378  Dear Ms. Hickler,  We are neighbors of 6194 S. Franklin Street, that we understand has a scheduled meeting on May 18, 2018, concerning rezoning. Our address is 6100 S. Gilpin Street. My father, Dr. Charles Smedley, a third generation Denver dentist, grew up near City Park, but always wanted in live in the country. After serving in the Navy as a dentist in World War II, he found 12 acres of farm land in 1947, with a little one bedroom cottage at 6100 S. Gilpin Street, where he raised his family of 4. It was his dream that this little "oasis in the middle of the city", surrounded by the High Line Canal Path would remain as open space for the public to enjoy. Three years ago, we began the process of establishing a Conservation Easement on 10 acres of that farm land. In a partnership with South Suburban Rec. Dist., Arapaho County and t...
