Quarterly Meeting Agenda! Don't Miss Meeting Thursday

According to Mary Hey:

On December 15th the Planning Board asked planning staff to study Goss-Grove
again and recommend how it should be rezoned. In the end, staff will
recommend either RMX-1 zoning, or they will say to tweak RMX-1 to reflect
concerns raised by the board, Council, and other citizens. Those concerns
are things like density, architecture, accessory dwelling units, and
nonconforming uses.

In short, they're seriously thinking about creating a new zoning category,
so we need to perk up. We need to revisit our vision for the neighborhood,
and not let it get away from us. Decisions begin in February, and we need
to get ready to stand up for what we want.




Here's the agenda for the Thursday meeting:


1. Approve minutes of October 2011 meeting

2. Talk about the next step in zoning change for Goss-Grove

3. Discuss property owners¹ liability for sidewalks

Ignore Snow--Info on Rezoning Meeting Tonight!

All right guys, this is the test. Snow going to keep you home? Tonight is the information meeting with the city on the rezoning issue. We need a good showing of Goss-Grove people there. Senior Center right behind the downtown library at Arapahoe and 9th. There is parking there. 5-7 p.m.

Those who show up get hero status.

Garden Repairs--Be there!!!

Thanks to those who have committed to working on the repairs to the garden beds. Also I noticed today that some have shoveled the dirt away from the damaged timbers in the plots to help with the repairs, thanks.

My inventory indicates that mostly top timbers will need to be replaced, some will need both top and base timbers replaced.

I will order the timbers and have them delivered on Friday. Let's get together for a work party on Saturday about 10 am.

We will need sledge hammers, drill with 1" hole bit, maybe circular saw, pry bars, and possibly drivers. Bring gloves. I'll bring some refreshments.

Thanks,

Michele

Important Info

I posted the letter that was sent to homeowners in Goss-Grove about the zoning change. It's a little hard to read and it DOES apply to renters. We know some of our members are long-time residents in area but rent and so may not have gotten the letter. You can still attend the meeting and express an opinion. In fact, renters add to the mix and seem to impress people with their commitment to the neighborhood. You don't have to own to care!!!

There will be a public meeting 5-7 p.m. Thursday, December 1 at the West Boulder Senior Center. This is the time and place for city staff to answer questions. It's also a time and place for us to express support and come out in numbers that show we care about what happens in our neighborhood. See you there!

The Letter on Zoning Arrived! Put December 1 On Calendar
