Dear Christina Janssen,
I am writing concerning the plan for the old Painted Hills golf course:FILE# PAINTED
HILLS (SUB-2015-0001/PRD-2015-0001). As a neighbor to this property I feel a need to share my concerns with the current plans for it's use.
I went to the informational meeting held at Chester Elementary and felt that the plans for the
number of house and other buildings was an extreme amount that would highly increase traffic. They stated in their traffic survey they felt that people would not use pines. However,
they failed to realize that pines is the way parents will get their children to and from all three schools: elementary, middle and high school. Pines is not a road structure designated for this
amount of traffic. This increase in traffic would increase risks for students walking to and from school.
In addition the increase of homes would over crowd our already crowded schools. I
understand a bond has been passed for the elementary, however, that is to allow for growth over an extended period of time and did not take into consideration this added development
that would greatly increase the number of students. We already have to turn students away and bus to other schools. The bond also does not compensate for our crowded middle and
high schools.
I am also concerned about the destruction of delineated wetlands, the City needs to require and environmental impact statement due to the depth and breadth of the project which will cause
harm to the natural environment and the community surrounding this area.
Thank you for your time in considering a few of my concerns.
Sincerely,
Shauna Howell3802 S. Vercler Ln.
