Subject:Deny the development at the Painted hills golf course site

Christina: Yesterday I delivered a letter to you at your office outlining a few of the many reasons you
should deny the request of Dave Black and Brian Walker (developers) to remove the painted hills
golf course site from the flood plain and allow for the development of over 550 cheaply build
residences. My reasons included the obvious ones of flooding (which will happen regardless of what
the developers tell you), huge impact on schools, traffic, crime and significant wildlife displacement
issues. However there is another important issue This is a once in a life time opportunity for the
city of the valley to make a statement with the 99 acre parcel. If the city and the valley chamber are
truly interested in creating an environment to attract both business and new residents, this is it.
Rarely does any city get the chance to have that large a piece of property available to provide a
community attraction that will lure folks to the valley. (example: Manito Park). Just sit back for a
moment and don’t focus on the near term greedy developers but rather on what you can do for the
long term quality of life in our community. If some forward thinking folks could get involved, this
could be a real coup for the valley. Particularly when I understand the funds may be available to
repurchase the property and give the developers a way out. We certainly do not need 580 ( or any
for that matter) poorly build high developer profit residences that will shortly look like the
development across the 32nd from University high school. Tell me how much law enforcement time
and money is spent right there. You will get the same in this proposed development. The citizens of
the valley deserve to have this development denied, not reduced in size, but denied to give those of
us that are concerned the opportunity to propose other alternatives
Thank you,
