[HollyMutual-Announce] Fwd: FAA Proposed Flight Paths

[Holly Mutual Water Company]

All,

The Holly Mutual Board has been contacted by the Home Owners' 
Association for Cherry Hills North, asking us to forward information to 
our HOA regarding proposed aviation flight pattern changes. Being as 
the HOA for our neighborhood ceased to exist many years ago, we decided 
to pass this through the Holly Mutual Announcement email list in the 
interest of expediency.

The concern is this proposal could significantly increase the number of 
flights over our community, with attendant noise and potential loss of 
property values. While this is being tracked by the Cherry Hills 
Village City Government, there will be a meeting on Wednesday, November 
1st at 6:30 p.m. at the Ramada Hotel & Suites located at 7770 South 
Peoria Street Englewood 80112 that you might consider attending. Note 
that if and after these plans are approved, there will be little or 
nothing that can be done.

Follows is the email we received.

Cheers,
Mark Derbyshire

Dear Neighbors, please see the important information below regarding 
the potential changes to FAA flight patterns. This could greatly impact 
the serenity of our neighborhood and potentially impact our property 
values.

FAA flight pattern:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently held informational 
workshops to distribute information on the proposed airspace 
“improvements” for the Denver metro area.  The FAA hopes 
redesigning the airspace will address inefficiencies that impact 
several airports in Colorado including DIA and Centennial Airport which 
cost the airline industry over $1.8 million in fuel annually.  The 
Denver Metroplex redesign may involve changes in aircraft flight paths 
and altitudes in certain areas.  The City of Cherry Hills Village is 
currently in the arrival and departure path for both DIA and Centennial 
Airport.  These changes could substantially increase flight traffic 
over the Village, as much as a flight every minute.

The deadline to submit electronic comments to the FAA through their 
website was June 5, 2017. Mayor Laura Christman and the City Council 
are collaborating with other Denver Metro Area communities to oppose 
the implementation of Metroplex Denver until local communities receive 
adequate information to assess the impact of Metroplex as applicable to 
their specific community and have the opportunity to submit 
documentation to the FAA with respect to noise sensitive areas in their 
communities, consistent with applicable law.

There will be a round table meeting on Wednesday, November 1st at 6:30 
p.m. at the Ramada Hotel & Suites located at 7770 South Peoria Street 
Englewood 80112.

Currently, Cherry Hills Village is experiencing more flights overhead 
from Denver International Airport due the north runway having been 
closed for maintenance through at least the end of October.  These 
additional flights are fewer than what we would experience should the 
proposed Metroplex redesign be approved but they offer an example of 
the level of noise that Cherry Hills Village would be subjected to 
possibly as frequently as once a minute under the plan.

Of most importance, please send your concerns or questions about the 
proposed flight pattern changes for DIA and Centennial to 
noise.office at flydenver.com or by calling the noise complaint line at 
303-342-2380. For more information on the issue, you may contact Katy 
Brown, our City Council representative, at 303-860-0262 or 
kbrown at cherryhillsvillage.com

District is actually Dan Sheldon, 303-886-2838,
