#3 - Opposition to Rezoning of 685 Peak View Dr., Estes Park

The residents of Estes Park Colorado are currently collecting signatures petitioning the Town of Estes Park to reject ANY rezoning of this property. CMS Planning & Development, Inc / Frank Theis has proposed a development of 39 single family homes on this 7.62-acre parcel that's currently zoned for 1 home per acre. To accommodate his proposal, he is asking the Town to rezone this parcel from E1 to R1. R1 allows a home on every 5000 square feet of property.

Mr Theis filed a pre-application with the Town and it was not funded when submitted. Mr Theis also failed to properly notify residents and filed intent statements with the Town after notice letters and meeting dates were set. Even with these deficiencies, the Town Planning Commission was prepared to vote on the change in January 2023. CMS Planning and Development does not plan on building any houses on the property but intends to sell the lots to other developers and therefore will have no control over final costs of improvements.

This petition is for Adjacent Property Owners (APO). The Town (Ord. 18-02 #2) and the State of Colorado have certain notification rules and signatures by APO individuals can impact voting requirements. We have therefore separated this petition from petition #2 which is for all other signers. Please note the signatures on this petition should match those on Larimer County property records.
