Weld county commissioners are having a new hearing on the proposed Ridgeview Farms subdivision tomorrow (3/29). Resident of neighboring subdivision, Danny Hart, is encouraging people to attend the meeting, as long as they are against the new subdivision. Appearantly Mr. Hart, a 14 year resident of the Pinnacle subdivision, doesn’t think anyone else should be allowed to build houses in the neighborhood.

The funniest statement in the article was a quote by Mr. Hart

“We keep losing open space, and that’s hard to get back,”

Open space is NOT hard to get back. Heck, the old K-Mart building in the middle of Greeley is currently open space once again. Of course it will soon be a new police station, but it didn’t take long for the bulldozers to get rid of the existing construction. Open space is expensive to get back, which is the point of this whole discussion. If Hart and the other 95% of Pinnacle Park residents who are against the new subdivision would like to buy the property propsed for Ridgeway Farms from developer, Rob Casseday, I’m sure a deal could be reached. Unfortunately, it appears that Hart just wants the county to not let anyone build on that property, inflatying Pinnacle Park property values and keeping their lovely view.
