Hi Neighbors, Please read this packet of information regarding the potential rezone of the property at 6194 S. Franklin. (The top of Franklin St, east side, on the Highline Canal) The City of Centennial will be holding a meeting on Friday the 18th of May at 6:00 at the Southglenn Library concerning the rezoning of this property from 2 acre lots to proposed 9! NINE!! houses on 2 acres. We are hoping you will join us as a unified neighborhood against this craziness! If rezoned it would affect our Franklin St neighborhood mightily. Traffic increase, setting a precedent for continued rezoning of the east side of Franklin St, property values, etc. The east side of Franklin St. is zoned NC2A and was rezoned to "protect the character of the neighborhood and the conservation of the land". This 2 acre re-zoning was passed in 2011, only 7 years ago, and now they want to undo it to make it even much less than the original 1/2 acre lots. If you love your walk down this street or live off it and want to continue to enjoy our country atmosphere, please protest the proposed rezoning by phone, email or especially by attending the Fri night meeting. Here are the City officials to contact - phone numbers are listed on the Centennial website. Mayor - Stephanie Piko Centennial Councilwomen - Candace Moon, cmoon@centennialco.gov - Kathy Turley, kturley@centennialco.gov City Planning - Kelly Hickler, khickler@centennialco.gov 303 754-3378 THANKS!! Sincerely, The Riddells, Dick and Betty 303 798-9061 dicknbetts@yahoo.com

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...

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...
