Protect Gunbarrel's Local Wildlife Through the Creation of a Greater Twin Lakes Open Space - Stop City Annexation and High Density Growth

traffic noise, light pollution and houses that are a bunch of ugly boxes, let`s keep open space and wildlife areas that`s why we chose to live in Gunbarrel

Bad location for subsidized housing: no transportation, one bad road, no services, and flooding. Great location for open space, wetlands and wildlife. Great for humans to experience nature without have to drive somewhere.

I moved to this areas 38 years ago because of the open spaces with its wildlife and the low density of homes. It is important to maintain the character of the area and to provided the habitat for our wildlife. I strongly believe the areas mentioned along Twin Lakes Road be made an official part of the Open Space in Boulder County.

If you must develop these parcels please do so within the current zoning - to cram ever more people into less space degrades quality of life for everyone. Twin Lakes is pretty affordable already why pretend it isn't by saying the new denser housing will be "affordable". People should live where they can afford to - I live in Twin Lakes because I cannot afford Boulder proper - no one subsidized my home purchase and I resent having our neighborhood crowded to do so for other peoplel.

Please preserve this nature area and keep Boulder beautiful.

It would be such a shame to see the open space go, especial to promote higher density living. The lakes, preserve, and open space are there highlights of the neighborhood.

This is an inappropriate location for high density development - a private developer would never be allowed to do this, so why can the county?

Hasn't Boulder built enough high density units in the last few years? Namely N. Boulder, Gunbarrel (King Super's area), Gunbarrel (north of King Super's), Pearl Pwky, etc. ?? How about just retaining these wildlife corridors for birds, animals and YES- PEOPLE! We need space, too. If units MUST be build there then build 3 or 4 high end houses; I'd rather have a few affluent neighbors at this point who can contribute to the local economy by growing tech start-ups and businesses. A few houses will have much less impact than dozens or hundreds of new apartments and condos. Help to keep Boulder special! Thanks.

These land parcels are not the right location for low income housing!

I have enjoyed living here in a relatively quiet neighborhood. I am concerned about over-development of a beautiful area that is actually affordable to young families. Planning to put 120+ units in this area is not going to do any good to the area, it will de-beautify it, over congest it, cause problems when police/fire is needed due to small roads. There is already speed control built along this section of Twin Lakes Road, and thankfully there isn't much of a problem with that currently, but if you ad so much additional housing speeding along this section will surely increase

THE AREA CANNOT HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL INFLUX OF PEOPLE.

It's alarming to see what's happened to Gunbarrel over the past couple years. While I'm not against 'infill' development to prevent more sprawl, there needs to be some focus on preserving existing neighborhood character and buffer zones. There have to be better options than this for the County to explore.

THE AREA IN QUESTION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.

Stop this annex! My new home has already been flooded in the past and now likely will again. This is terrible for our community!

I just purchased a house in Twin Lakes and so upset to find that my new quiet and beautiful home is scheduled to be destroyed by this annex.

We have too much population density in Boulder, especially Gunbarrel.

Please leave the beautiful field at 6655 Twin Lakes as is.

My family moved to the suburbs and particularly Red Fox Hills i very large part because of the rural suburban feel. In the last several years development has been rampant. The high density housing proposed for these land parcels will totally change the feel of the area we've called home for almost 25 years. To lose the great horned owls, coyotes, cranes and numerous other wildlife would very negatively impact our neighborhoods. To add that level of density with the ensuing traffic would also present a big blow to our suburban lifestyle. Basement flooding is already a major issue for many of our neighbors and to blindly disregard this aspect of development is simply not right.

Do the right thing.

Please protect this land for the wildlife, once it is taken it can not be restored. Don't we constantly vote for open space? No annexation!
