Hello All,
There is another problem that the citizens of Franktown and citizens of Douglas County must show up to fight! An application for a Metropolitan District right in the middle of Franktown has been filed.
Right now, there are only a few on the outskirts of Franktown. People living there are having lots of problems. The Franktown Citizens Coalition II has learned of the financial damage they do to people who have no idea what they’re getting into when they buy a home in one. People who have lived in one, and have been damaged, have stood up and sent in letters to the County asking that this request for a Metropolitan District be denied because they know how bad they can be. Presidents of Franktown HOAs have stood up and sent in letters. We are lucky to be living here. I have attached one of the listed exhibits from Mr. John Henderson, an expert in this area. All of the exhibits were emailed to the county from the individuals listed on the exhibit pages.
These districts have the power of eminent domain outside their boundaries!!! And NO state agency has enforcement ability when Metropolitan Districts don’t follow their rules. Attached is an opposition paper explaining all of the damage they have done and/or could do. It’s long and in-depth but will let you know all about them and why you should be at the hearings to oppose them. As a citizen of Franktown, we don’t want any more here! As a citizen of Douglas County, we don’t want any more here! Many people have no idea what damage they can do unless they’ve lived in one! By reading this, you will. It’s shocking! This is for the citizens of the entire county (and the state) because these Metropolitan Districts have proliferated across the state with people having difficulty everywhere. One city has recently held hearings and stopped them, Pagosa Springs. Kudos to Pagosa Springs. Now let’s stop them here!
The hearings are:
Planning Commission, August 4th, 6pm
Board of County Commissioners, September 9th, 2:30 pm
Address for both: 100 3rd St., Castle Rock
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU CAN THINK OF. PLEASE SHOW UP TO SHOW YOUR OPPOSITION.
IF YOU LIVE IN ONE ANYWHERE, PLEASE SHOW UP TO SHARE YOUR STORY!
