Vaquero Subdivision Petition and Flyer
Please mail to: CR125 Homeowners PO Box 34, Hesperus CO 81326
Petition to La Plata Planning Commission
We, the undersigned, oppose PROJECT #PL20230035, VAQUERO SUBDIVISION unless acceptable modifications are made to the current plan
Our Concerns:
We are opposed to the project as outlined in the draft plan for the following reasons:
Higher density housing would significantly increase risk of catastrophic fire for all resulting in
inability to get and keep homeowners insurance
Restrict wildlife and severely impact La Plata County Open Space Conservancy properties
Negatively affect the character of neighboring properties and the rural landscape
Negatively affect the habitat of local resident and migratory wildlife
Substandard housing and lack of covenants would cause loss of property value for existing
owners who have invested life savings in premium homes.
Wear and tear, traffic and noise on CO 125 would increase significantly due to 50-60 cars
making daily trips to and from the proposed development
What we are requesting:
1. Increase the lot size of all lots to 5+ acres to be consistent with surrounding properties
2. Require an HOA with strict covenants such as the covenants of Ridgewood Estates and surrounding developments
3. Maintain the rural nature of the area by requiring open space and honoring neighboring Open Space
properties

This is a grass roots effort by residents around the planned Vaquero Subdivision. A sketch plan was approved by the planning commission in a 4 - 1 vote with only one planner having been to the area.
