REZONE of property at 6194 S. Franklin St. (by Amy Price)

-
Candace Moon, Kathy Turley and Kelly Hickler,

Just a short but IMPORTANT message to inform you that I am AGAINST the
REZONE for the property at 6194 S. Franklin St.

The reason we bought our house is because of this awesome secluded
neighborhood known as Cromwell Heights/ Franklin Meadows.

Reasons for OBJECTION
About 10+ years ago, the property west of 6194 S. Franklin St. was
sold and went from a single house property to multiple houses. To
this day, I STILL notice all the extra traffic from the additional
houses.

I do NOT want to see increased automobile traffic. S. Franklin St.
has a unique quality in that a BUNCH of foot/bicycle traffic occupies
this country road and adding even more automobile traffic would NOT be
an ideal situation!

The intersection of S. Franklin St. and Orchard Rd. just can't handle
all the extra traffic that this proposed REZONE change would bring!

I feel the proposed 'RA' zoning would greatly reduce home/property
prices in this area.


Unfortunately, I could not attend the meeting that was held this past
Friday 05/18/18 at Southglenn Library; but did sign a paper of
Protest that was presented by Dick and Betty Riddell. There are also
several neighbors who have presented detailed information in protest
of this proposed change and I support those letters and appreciate
their information!


One last thing- I'm quite disappointed to see that the neighborhood of
Cromwell Heights looks as if it was NOT not scheduled to receive
notice of this community meeting. Thanks to Dick and Betty Riddell, I
am able to voice my opinion about this REZONE.

I Strongly OBJECT to this Proposal. We have lived in this neighborhood
for 16 years and LOVE this 'Little Piece of Heaven'!

Thank You for your consideration.

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...
