The Waverly Community Group (WCG) is exploring options for the future of Waverly so it can determine its own destiny as a rural community. The Waverly Community Group believes Waverly has its own history, culture, and rural character that should not be swallowed up by neighboring cities or towns.
In the summer of 2002, when Wellington wanted to include a substantial portion of Waverly in the Wellington Growth Management Area, a survey of about 200 Waverly residents indicated that Waverly should remain autonomous and that the citizens should explore ways to insure that it does.
The Waverly Community Group is now opening an educational process for the Waverly residents to begin envisioning the type of future Waverly can have.
- Conducted a survey of approximately 200 Waverly citizens.
- Drafted proposed boundaries of Waverly as: Co. Rd. 72, Co. Rd. 11, Co. Rd. 64, and Co. Rd. 21. This area includes approximately 400 households.
- Attended Wellington Planning Commission and Town Council meetings requesting Wellington to move its Growth boundary back to Co. Road 11 from Co. Road 15.
- Attended informal meetings with Larimer County Planning staff to understand what rules or codes presently impact Waverly.
- Drafted a vision statement and elected officers for the Waverly Community Group.
- Drafted Bylaws which were approved by the community on July 14, 2005.
- Investigated the tools that individual citizens and/or the Waverly area as a whole can use to maintain the rural land use pattern Waverly has today without loss of value or down zoning.
- Work has been started on a database of Waverly resources and the Waverly Area Plan.
- The WCG will keep Waverly residents updated as events come up such as public meetings and outreach efforts.
The Waverly Community Group is interested in your:
- Participation in the educational process
- Help in outreach and organizational efforts
- Ideas for Waverly’s future!
