	OPPOSE Name: Larry and Debby Rhoades Date: 5/7/2026 7:58:33 AM	We are writing and expressing our concerns over the Antler Range plan to create 84 single lots on the Northeast corner of Meridian and Ayer Road. There is already high density housing scheduled to be Built from Meridian all the way down Latigo to Eastonville a distance of 2 miles. The subject 244 acres, have been a place for the Black Forest elk herd to graze during heavy snow in the forest. We have counted over 100 elk out there. The developers are also putting in high density housing down Eastonville all the way to Falcon. There is not enough water to support all of this development. Please keep Colorado a beautiful place to Live. Respectfully Larry and Debby Rhoades

Traffic volume of this magnitude presents safety and property value concerns as well as a definite quality of life issue for existing residents. Upon review of the latest Preliminary Plan, Sheet 1, General Note 17 indicates a restriction for proposed Antler Range lots that prevents direct access to Ayer Road. If that is the case, a traffic flow revision would be required. With that said, we have attached three alternatives for your consideration that could minimize impact to Antler Ridge residents and better align with the noted restriction in the Preliminary Plan.

My comment concerns trails. I understand the El Paso County Parks position, but I would like to request the developer be required to work with the Black Forest Trails Association to create neighborhood/social trails on property easements. Unfortunately, over the years the trail easements in the Latigo area have not been maintained/honored. It would be nice for a new rural development to start with a plan and have trails marked from the start so new property owners know up front they exist. Based on the zoning I assume horses will be allowed. If so, those owners would greatly benefit from a trail system that allows them to ride to the Latigo Event Center. My property is on the far northeast corner of this project. I already have a location that would allow people to cross Black Squirrel Creek and then continue on to Latigo.
