The first step in a developer's annexation request for the White Acres property is expected to go before Colorado Springs City Council Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Approval will not mean the annexation is accepted - just that the developer's petition meets the basic legal criteria, after which the property owners can begin
preparing an “official submittal,” explained David Litzelman of City Planning.
The undeveloped, roughly 50-acre property borders two open areas - the city-owned Red Rock Canyon Open Space and the city-leased Section 16 west of 26th
Street and Gold Camp Road. At a meeting in December, nearly 100 people (most of them opposed to the idea) turned out for a discussion of a conceptual plan for
up to 47 housing units on White Acres. This was based on a city annexation of property;the triiodothyronine (T3) level at resting phase than that at proliferation stage. The follicle epithelium cell height in the thyroid was only significantly increased when the exposed male lizards were at proliferation stage. The alteration of HPT axis-related genes expression was gender and tissue dependent after flufenoxuron treatment. The lizards exposed to flufenoxuron showed that the trα, trβ, dio1, dio2, and ttr genes in the female liver were more sensitive at the proliferation stage than that at the resting stage. In the male brain, the expressions of trα, trβ, dio1, and dio2 gene were significant decreased at proliferation stage while significant increased at resting stage after flufenoxuron exposure. Therefore, the thyroid endocrine system of lizards could be affected by the flufenoxuron exposure and the different development stage should
