Ms Barlow,
Thank you for taking this time to read this email. I hope the day is finding you well despite all the
smoke and heat.
I am just learning about a rather large development over in the painted hills area. While new
developments can be exciting… I feel this particular one will not be a great addition to our area. With
the recent influx of bad behavior and crime, I only feel like it will get increasingly worse with the
added dwellings in the area.
Not to mention with the added population adds to traffic congestion, traffic safety near our schools
(we already have a problem with people racing up and down pines at alarming speeds) and makes
me think that the schools may not be able to handle the added influx of potential new students.
It also concerns me that with such a population increase also increases pollution from motor
vehicles, litter and human waste management.
Also our internet infrastructure and power demands will also not be able to handle the loads that
will be thrown at it. We already experience power outages, internet service interruptions that are
not going to get better with the increase in population.
At 580 new dwellings the math is kind of staggering when you break it down.
Single persons being only 580 new people to the area
Couples and Single Parents is 1160 more people
Parents with 1 child is 1740
Parents with multiple children is anywhere from 2320-3480+ more people in the area
To myself and others I think the numbers alone can show that such a boom is not sustainable in this
area.
I would request a public hearing on the DEIS and the development on the Painted Hills as it has
serious implications for our entire community.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email.
