Change Request Comment: * RE: Twin Lakes Reconsideration Hearing Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017 Irrespective of the rationale or legality of converting open space to additional housing in the Gunbarrel/Twin Lakes area bounded by Jay Road, 75th, and Lookout there is not sufficient infrastructure to support the increase traffic and public transport needs. Already the recent new high density housing in Gunbarrel around Lookout Road around Spine Road has dramatically increased traffic on roads that are not designed or intended to support the increase in traffic all of which travels between Gunbarrel and the City of Boulder. While one might expect most of the traffic to travel on 119 (The diagonal), instead the traffic increase has been on Spine Road, Jay Road, and 75th as drivers avoid the congestion on 119 Diagonal Highway. Jay, 75th, Spine, 61st, 63rd need to be upgraded 4-lane divided limited access highways with separated cycling pathways to meet the peak demand for car, truck, commuter, and cycling traffic. For example the intersection of Jay Road and Spine has become an extremely dangerous intersection in the past year, both for drivers and also for the increased cyclists commuting to Boulder. I have witnessed many drivers running red lights, not to mention a dramatic increase in speeding vehicles on roads that are now as congested as any in Boulder County or the City of Boulder. With the ever promised but never finished bike path connection from Spine to Jay never finished the dramatic increase of commuting cycling on Spine and Jay (45 mph) is a tragedy waiting to happen. Mornings and evenings on Jay between Spine and 119 is now a meat grinder of cars, trucks, and cyclists with cars passing turning cars on the shoulder. In addition RTD has not increased or extended the operational hours of the 205 and 205T routes. Since there is little public transport on weekend evenings there has been a dramatic increase in weekend evening and late night drivers returning from a night out in Boulder on 119, Spine. Jay, 75th, 63rd, and 61st, and Valmont. BVCP comments received Dec. 2016 to 8 a.m. Jan. 17, 2017 | Page 2 of 473 | Updated 2017-01-17 If Boulder County and the City of Boulder have decided to create a satellite city and bedroom community for low wage employees to service the Boulder 1% in Gunbarrel then Boulder County and the City of Boulder should improve the infrastructure to support the commuter and community that is being created first, then add the low wage worker housing. I also believe the conversion of open space created by the citizens and their tax dollars when changed by fiat by elected officials is not only wrong and an irredeemable fracture of the public trust, but criminal and is evidence of malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance by public officials. What is the point of purchasing land placed in the public trust as open space if at any time for any reason it can simply be converted to some other purpose at the whim of a public official. If twin lakes can be converted then is any Boulder County and City of Boulder existing or future open space safe? A very dangerous precedent would be set, both now and in the future. How about a few 50 story high rises in the City of Boulder, say in Chautauqua Open Space first? - Richard Auletta Please check box below * I acknowledge receipt of the Open Records Notification BVCP comments received Dec. 2016 to 8 a.m. Jan. 17, 2017 | Page 3 of 473 | Updated 2017-01-17 From: Rebecca Bradford To: [email protected]; #LandUsePlanner Subject: Land in South Boulder Date: Monday, December 05, 2016 5:21:57 PM Hello to you, Please count me as one of the citizens concerned about the land in South Boulder and the University of Colorado’s intention to develop it. There are many reasons why developing this property is totally out of the question. I'm sure you've heard or will hear about them soon. These reasons are valid, sound and must not be ignored. I implore you to listen carefully to the evidence showing how terribly wrong it will be to develop the land in South Boulder. Please investigate what is true and with integrity. If you haven't done it already, come visit this beautiful piece of property. Remember you are the stewards and the peaceful warriors of this land. Thank you for your time. Rebecca Faith Bradford 4753 W.Moorhead Circle Boulder 80305 303-588-0550 BVCP comments received Dec. 2016 to 8 a.m. Jan. 17, 2017 | Page 4 of 473 | Updated 2017-01-17 From: Katie Wahr To: [email protected]; #LandUsePlanner Subject: CU South Date: Tuesday, December 06, 2016 8:03:52 PM I am writing to express my concern over the proposed annexation and subsequent development of the CU South property. I came away from the community meeting last night (12/5) with the distinct impression that CU will not allow the City to complete the necessary flood mitigation unless they are granted the annexation they desire; they appear to be using this property as leverage. I am shocked and saddened that the need to protect our community from the dangers of floodwaters is contingent upon the University acquiring approval for annexation. We absolutely need to do something to mitigate the future threat of flooding so as not to have a repeat of the disastrous floods of 2013, but is this really the right way to do it? Doesn't CU, as a major entity of this community, have an obligation to amend its land accordingly when failure to do so poses a serious threat to residents? It is my understanding that CU will not even allow the City to use the portion of this property that was initially identified as being the most suitable for mitigation efforts, inasmuch as they want to use that land for development. Are we really going to let the self-interest of this one entity dictate the future safety of our residents? Especially when, as I have recently learned, the land wasn't even slated to become CU property in the first place. Beyond this need for flood mitigation, I am strongly opposed to the annexation and subsequent development that CU is proposing. I have lived in Boulder for all 34 years of my life, and have watched it change from a roomy town with very little congestion to a town that has been filled with people far beyond where it was ever designed to be...I truly feel that Boulder has surpassed its population capacity. Our infrastructure was simply not designed to support the number of people who have moved here. The traffic that this development would bring into CU South would have a tremendously negative impact on South Boulder, an area that is already overrun with cars during rush hour and at the beginning and end of school days. And an influx of CU students into the quiet, family-oriented neighborhood of Tantra and South Creek would dramatically change the feel and quality of life in this area. And last but possibly the most important issue of all: the open space. Our open spaces are so precious to this community. They are one of the major attributes that draw people to Boulder, and one of the characteristics that make it so unique and special. The CU South Open Space provides commuters into Boulder on US 36 with beautiful views of the mountains. It is surrounded by designated Open Space to the east and to the south, providing a large natural buffer between areas of dense human impact. The open space is home to a variety of wildlife and thriving wetlands...wetlands make up less than 1% of all the land in the area, yet are required by up to 80% of all wildlife species in order to complete their life cycles. This is a large piece of land relied upon by a number of different species; it would be devastating to see more land taken away from these creatures who need it the most. BVCP comments received Dec. 2016 to 8 a.m. Jan. 17, 2017 | Page 5 of 473 | Updated 2017-01-17 This piece of land is, for me, one of the most special places in Boulder. I take one to two walks a day out on this property with my dog, and the time I spend there is often the highlight of my day.

    ________________________________________________________________________ Guide to the MS-196: “Meine Fahrten 1925-1938” Scrapbook [My Trips 1925-1938] Jesse Siegel ’16, Smith Project Intern July 2016 MS – 196: “Meine Fahrten” Scrapbook (Title page, 36 pages) Inclusive Dates: October 1925—April 1938 Bulk Dates: 1927, 1929-1932 Processed by: Jesse Siegel ’16, Smith Project Intern July 15, 2016 Provenance Purchased from Between the Covers Company, 2014. Biographical Note Possibly a group of three brothers—G. Leiber, V. Erich Leiber, and R. Leiber— participated in the German youth movement during the 1920s and 1930s. The probable maker of the photo album, Erich Leiber, was probably born before 1915 in north- western Germany, most likely in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. His early experiences with the youth movement appear to have been in conjunction with school outings and Christian Union for Young Men (CVJM) in Austria. He also travelled to Sweden in 1928, but most of his travels are concentrated in northwestern Germany. Later in 1931 he became an active member in a conservative organization, possibly the Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft St. Georg,1 participating in outings to nationalistic locations such as the Hermann Monument in the Teutoburg Forest and to the Naval Academy at Mürwik in Kiel. In 1933 Erich Leiber joined the SA and became a youth leader or liaison for a Hitler Youth unit while still maintaining a connection to a group called Team Yorck, a probable extension of prior youth movement associates. After 1935 Erich’s travels seem reduced to a small group of male friends, ending with an Easter trip along the Rhine River in 1938.

  • Who Is Temple Grandin? Once Again, the Kids Were Tossing Insults At
    Who Is Temple Grandin? Once again, the kids were tossing insults at Temple Grandin in the hallway of junior high school. They picked on Temple because she didn’t act like everybody else. She spoke in a loud, flat voice. She repeated sentences over and over, word for word. She clapped her hands over her ears at the sound of the school bell. She acted lost and afraid in the crowded school hall. Kids couldn’t understand what made Temple tick. And Temple couldn’t understand them, either. That was because Temple’s brain worked differently from theirs. She had been born with a developmental disorder known as autism (say: AW--tiz--im). It showed up when she was a baby, making her behave in odd ways. On this day, Temple’s temper boiled over at the bullying. She hurled a book at a kid. Hours later, the principal expelled her from school. Probably no one was too surprised. Temple was flunking nearly all her subjects. They just didn’t interest her. Everyone back in 1961 would have been amazed to know that Temple would grow up to become a world--famous animal scientist. All through her career she has worked to improve the treatment of cows and other animals that are raised for food. Every year, millions and millions of cattle are killed for beef. Until Temple came along, people thought of cattle as products to turn into hamburgers and steaks. But Temple paid attention to the fear and pain cattle felt at large meat plants. As an autistic person, Temple often felt like a scared animal herself.

    Dr. Temple Grandin Dr. Temple Grandin • She is an American Scientist and industrial designer. • She has created systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations. • Temple Grandin has autism. Autism • autism is: “A spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and unusual and repetitive behavior.” • The degree of autism varies from mild to severe. Temple Grandin • Temple Grandin was born on August 29, 1947, in Boston, MA. • She is the oldest of four children. • None of her siblings are autistic. • One of the first signs that a baby may be autistic is that it resists being held and cuddled; one of the first signs of autism. Temple Grandin • Since 1990, she has taught animal science at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO, where she also operates her own company, Grandin Livestock Systems. • Today, Temple has published over 300 scientific papers, has her own website which gets 5,000 visitors each month, gives 35 lectures on animal management a year, and gives about another 25 lectures about autism. • Half of the cattle in the United States and Canada are handled in humane slaughter systems she has designed. She feels she owes a lot of this success to the fact that her brain works differently. Autism has given her a perspective on animals that a lot of professionals don’t have. Temple Grandin • Temple tells people that whenever you have a problem with an animal, try to see what the animal is seeing and try to experience what the animal is experiencing. • Thought has to be given to the animals’ emotional lives, not just their physical lives.
