Dear neighbor,
You may have
heard that the owners of Ski Country Antiques as Floyd Hill Development
(FHD) have made a request to the county for a development on the far
side of the overpass which has been referred to as Floyd Hill Crossing (FHC).
They have two requests that were approved by the Planning commission on
June 7th. The next step is for this request to go to the
Clear Creek County Commissioners for permission to proceed. The
commissioners will address these items in their June 21st
meeting. We felt that you should be aware of the situation.
The first item
approved by the Planning Commission was a “subdivision exemption” for
the property. Jim Lathrop owned a 44.395 acre parcel located at 37899
US 40 (adjacent to the Floyd Hill Overpass and North of I-70). A 9+
acre parcel was sold to FHD without going through the process to
subdivide the original parcel. The planning commission vote was not
unanimous on this issue. There was some thought that the commissioners
should not have to fix a problem resulting from a sale that did not
follow regulations.
The second item
depends on the first being approved by the commissioners. This is the
zoning change from MR-1 residential to Planned Development (PD) –
Commercial for the smaller tract which is the portion adjacent to US 40.
The developer has
withdrawn certain originally proposed uses of the land in response to
community concerns. If the subdivision and rezoning are approved, the
developers state that their immediate intention is to demolish the
existing home and outbuildings just west of the overpass, and build a
warehouse for Ski Country in approximately that location. The warehouse
would be very similar in appearance to the current building on the south
side of I-70.
However if this
resolution is approved by the County Commissioners, the current and any
future owners of this land would have the vested right to any or all of
the permitted uses on this property.
