Dear Ms. Janssen:
As a resident of the Spokane Valley, please accept my comment on SUB 2015-0011/PRD-2015-
001 (the proposed Painted Hills project), and let me know how to follow it up - with an in-person visit if necessary. Thank you!
I strongly object to the changes to existing zoning and think they are short-sighted for the city's
vision.The development would overcrowd an already over-capacity high school. Why doesn't SV
require developers to contribute on this point? I've seen other communities that do not simply allow developers to profit from their sales - but also to invest in the community. SV may want to
consider this.
Especially since I don't see requirements for turn lanes or street improvements. SV is setting up problems for itself, to profit a developer....
A group that is developing an area that is full of wetlands and wildlife - hereby significantly
changing the character of the neighborhood that we choose to live in....
Please PROTECT the valley rather than simply allow PROFIT from the valley.Protect schools.
Protect neighborhoods - streets, wildlife, character, safety....
NO high density housing in overcrowded school districts without forethought to planning to accomodate.
NO zoning changes that alter the character of the neighborhood for thousands of residents, including wildlife.
This parcel has INCREDIBLE opportunity for a group with vision. Unfortunately, this group is
going to put great load on the city with a vision only to profit.
Don't get suckered into it. Think of your legacy.Please let me know what else I can do!
