We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose the planned site swap proposed by the Haymeadow Developer. The Developer proposes taking the current school site and swapping it with one close to a mile away. In the original school site, the Developer would like to build approximately 200 multi-family units that are three-stories tall.
The Developer would like this swap to happen because the infrastructure that is currently in place does not reach where the multi-family units need would be, and he will build the inexpensive units to sell them to fund the next stage of the development.
The original site was chosen for the school to decrease traffic and to share facilities and fields with the Town of Eagle and Mountain Rec. The school kids would be able to have walkable access to fields, bike trails, playgrounds, skating rinks, skate parks, and more. By moving the school a mile away, this all but eliminates the possibility for Eagle's children to benefit from the Town's vision. Additionally, by having the school in its planned location, the Town of Eagle will be able to host even more bike and hockey tournaments, thus bringing in significant revenue.
In the original school site, these multi-family units will not conform to the Elevate Eagle plans in a variety of ways (density, look, feel, location relative to I-70 and business and bus lines, intention), including offering enough parking. They are claimed to be workforce housing, but there is not a single bus route that goes through Eagle Ranch.
The only reason that the Developer is proposing this swap is because of his mismanagement of the construction process and his inability to oversee a construction project of this magnitude. The only person who benefits from the swap is the Developer--not the people of Eagle.

The feedback I have received from residents confirms that the proposed site swap remains a primary concern for our community. I am currently preparing a formal inquiry to address the specific infrastructure gaps cited by the developer. Your engagement remains essential as we monitor the upcoming planning sessions.
February 25, 2021
The momentum behind our opposition to the Haymeadow swap has reached a significant point. It is clear that the community values the original vision for our school site and its integration with existing recreational facilities. We must now prepare to present these concerns to the individuals responsible for these development decisions.

That area was ear marked more than a decade ago. For Recreation and School so they could share facilities! The developers are just in for greed! Traffic is bad now, don’t cram more to that area!
The Elevate Eagle plans were created with input from so many constituents and should not be disregarded for one constituent.
The proposed swap does not serve those already living in the community and would also cause significant traffic congestion along Ouzel and Eagle Ranch.
I oppose due to the time and planning involved with the original approval of the school site and the vision to share amenities between the recreation and school districts. Shared amenities is the best use of our tax dollars!
I live in Brush Creek Village and oppose this swap for multiple reasons, including the following: negatively effect on property values; traffic congestion on Brush Creek; benefits only the developer, who should follow the original PUD; sets a precedent for future developers to try to bypass the original PUD.
Please stick with the plan as agreed upon. Don't sacrifice short term gain for the sake of a developer at the detriment of Eagle residents with a vested interest in the community.
Do not let the developer get away with this. Keep the original pud as is. Don’t use a housing crunch to try to pay less than what you signed up for.

This change in plans is not the diverse community we were promised, and is a change that doesn't benefit the town but only the developer. Town of Eagle, please do not approve this change! Continue as planned and put a school where the school was supposed to be!
