RE: Opposing the proposed Painted Hills Project
FILE# PAINTED HILLS (SUB-2015-0001/PRD-2015-0001)
I would like to express my concern with the Painted Hills subdivision proposed development. I have lived in
this area for the past 39 years and have seen substantial growth during this period. I am not opposed to
growth but have some true concerns for the proposed development on the Painted Hills golf course land. This
area has always been considered a flood plain and has flooded year after year. Almost every year Thorpe
Road is closed for a period of time due to the flooding.
I live on Woodlawn Drive in Midilome East. Our street has become a main arterial for people wanting to avoid
the lights and congestion on 32nd and Pines. The volume of traffic and high speeds people drive has become
very dangerous to kids, pets, and our general population. This has progressively gotten worse/dangerous in
the last few years as other developments have been completed. It’s scary to imagine the impact 500+ new
homes will create. It is also very dangerous currently to turn left onto Thorpe Road off of Dishman Mica.
Having a development on the corner including apartments will be increasingly dangerous/deadly with the
proposed increase of traffic.
My kids attend the local schools including Chester, Horizon and University. The schools are already
overcrowded and are having to bus kids to other schools. I am opposed to the negative impact all of the
existing students will face with the severe overcrowding this development will create.
Please consider paring down this project considerably to preserve our wetlands, wildlife, schools, and keep the
traffic flowing safely. Better yet, maybe the City of Spokane Valley can purchase it back from the developer
and turn it into something the public can use and enjoy.
Thank you,
