Hello Lynn Kalinauskas!
First off, I would like to
wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2012. It is certainly
looking like this will be an exciting year for Denver!
As you
may have heard, the rezoning application for the proposed sunflower market
on Colfax between Garfield St. and Monroe St. was approved unanimously by
both The Planning Board and The Land Use and Transportation
Committee. This would not have been possible without your active
participation in the process. In addition to noting the variety of
community needs that would be met by bringing a natural grocer to Colfax,
Ellen Ittelson also mentioned the over 300 emails that she received in
support of the project as a primary reason for support from the city.
On January 30, the Denver City Council will vote on
whether or not to approve our project. This is the final and most
critical part of the rezoning process. It is essential that you take
action to show your support for this incredible opportunity. Here are
a few things that you can do to ensure that your voice is
heard:
1. If you haven't already done so, go to http://rosendevelopments.com/show-your-support
and add your name to the letter of support. Don't be afraid to send
this link along to friends and neighbors! You can share this letter via
your social network by clicking the twitter or facebook links
above.
2. Contact your council person and let them know
that you support the project. If you drafted a letter to Ellen
Ittelson, it's as simple as changing the name and forwarding the letter
along to the appropriate council person. You can find information on who
your Council Representative is and how to contact them here
>
Below are some facts about
the project to assist you in drafting a letter:
- The neighborhood is currently void of a grocery store
- Bringing a grocery store to the area would reduce the need for
people to drive for groceries and would make Colfax more pedestrian
friendly
- Sunflower Market is a great company that is known for providing
healthy food at an affordable price
- The addition of the market would make the neighborhood safer by
eliminating a blighted building that has attracted, crime, vagrancy, and
litter
- Sunflower Market will attract other desirable businesses that want
to participate in the improvement of the area
- Sunflower market will create between 90-110 new jobs in our
community with an average annual payroll of $2.2Million dollars
3. The most powerful way to show your
support for this project is to attend the City Council Meeting on Jan 30th
at 5:30pm in room 451 of the City and County Building. If you are
interested in attending, let me know via email, and I will ensure that you
are posted on all of the details.
I hope to see all of you
soon in the check out line of our new natural grocer!!
Thanks,
Sean Mandel
