Do we want this:   Or this:

 

More sprawl, more traffic, more flood impacts, less wetlands. That's what we'll get if the City of Boulder allows the development of 134 homes on the Hogan/Pancost property. We are a group of residents in South Boulder that have organized to stop this development.

What's new

The development group has purchased the Hogan/Pancost property this past Fall. In February they have begun work along the ditch corridors to drain the site:
See here for pictures and more information. The Daily Camera has also written about this issue.

The developer purchased the property this past Fall. They now have a website: http://www.hoganpancost.com

The Dry Creek Ditch #2 Company has been approached by the developer to allow them to pipe the ditch, to use the ditch corridor as a flood conveyance channel and to allow the runoff water from the site to flow into the ditch. The Southeast Boulder Neighborhoods Association (SEBNA) has written a letter that voices their concerns over the potential flood impacts that this development may bring.

The Issues

  • Background Information
  • Flooding. This parcel is in the South Boulder Creek floodplain. Development will make flooding worse for neighboring residents and schools.
  • Environmental. "The general area has some of the most sensitive habitat among Area II. " -City Staff.
  • Endangered Species. Adjacent Open Space properrties contain one of the largest populations in the world of the threatened Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse.
  • Traffic. 1000+ extra car trips a day through our neighborhood streets will be generated.
  • Ground water. Many area residents have serious ground water problems in their basements. As the developer has even noted development in this area can lead to even higher ground water levels.
  • Quality of life. Enough said.
