A Denver resident is fighting back against one of the city’s proposed micro-community sites.
On Tuesday, the Board of Adjustments for Zoning conceded to an appeal on the city’s zoning permit for 621 W Wesley Avenue, a micro-community site that broke ground last fall in the Overland Park neighborhood.
Craig Arfsten, a Platt Park neighborhood resident, issued the appeal, saying even though there were community meetings held to discuss this micro-community site, the process was rushed, and many residents’ questions were not heard or answered.
“The mayor made commitments as far as what he expected from that site; those were never documented,” Arfsten said. “Just putting a cyclone fence around these individuals does not change their behavior, and that’s the basis for what these residents are really concerned about. What are you going to do? And today, there is nothing in place to address those concerns. ”
