Residents in this rapidly growing town southeast of Fort Collins have devised what some might say is an ingenious — or for others, a wily — way of trying to stop a proposed Topgolf entertainment facility from coming to town.
Jenkins and dozens of other residents turned out at a community meeting Monday night put on by the developer of the 240-acre Ladera project, which sits at the southeast corner of Interstate 25 and East Harmony Road. Topgolf would encompass around 12 acres of the project.

Residents in the fast-growing community near Fort Collins are trying to stop the company from building a facility in town, claiming Topgolf’s trademark safety nets pose a risk to migratory birds in flight.
Topgolf director of real estate development Scott Wetterling, one of the company representatives taking pointed questions from residents Monday, told The Denver Post the company is in the “preliminary stages” of planning its moves in Timnath.Will Welch, project manager for Ladera, said the potential ballot measure changing the town charter to limit fence heights in Timnath is an example of “super bad land use planning.
The area alongside I-25, Welch said, “is an ideal location for commercial development.” It keeps traffic confined to the interstate corridor and out of neighborhoods. Timnath Town Manager Aaron Adams said the Ladera site “is designated as employment/regional commercial in our comprehensive plan.”
