During the recent PROST Regular Meeting held on April 9, 2025, in Larimer County, significant discussions centered around upcoming development projects and community infrastructure improvements, particularly focusing on the Saddleback area.

One of the key highlights was the anticipated timeline for construction, with hopes to begin moving dirt by this time next year. This development is expected to address various community needs, including improved sewer capacity and enhanced public spaces. The discussions emphasized the importance of collaboration with local stakeholders, including North Pune, to ensure that necessary infrastructure, such as buried ditches, is properly managed.

A notable concern raised during the meeting was the accessibility of sidewalks in the area. Participants pointed out that existing ramps may not adequately serve individuals with disabilities, highlighting the need for thoughtful design in future projects. The conversation underscored the commitment to creating a more inclusive environment as new developments unfold.

Additionally, the board reviewed the existing master plan from 2015, noting that while some desired features, like a port in place, are not currently included, there is room for future discussions on enhancements. The alignment of trails and the proposed amenities for pocket parks were also positively received, indicating a community interest in maintaining green spaces and connectivity.

As the meeting concluded, there was a strong sense of optimism about the ongoing development efforts and the potential benefits for the community. Stakeholders expressed their appreciation for the collaborative spirit among developers and local officials, emphasizing the importance of continued dialogue to ensure that projects align with community needs and aspirations.

Overall, the meeting reflected a proactive approach to urban planning in Larimer County, with a clear focus on enhancing public infrastructure and fostering community engagement in the development process.
