Dear Christina Janssen,
I am writing this letter out of concern for the proposed development going in at the former
Painted Hills Golf Course site.
I have been the President of the Pine Rock Ridge HOA Board for the last four years. Our
subdivision is located between 39th and 37th with Woodlawn running between our
subdivision of 140 lots. (two vacant lots remaining to be built on) Our beautiful subdivision
backs up on one side to all three Schools making this a neighborhood that children can easily
walk to school. The other side of our subdivision backs up to open land and to the south, tall
stands of pine trees. We are a quiet and clean neighborhood with HOA standards in place.
Traffic on our private streets is minimal and so far traffic on Woodlawn, a city owned street, is
doable. Home prices vary with some homes close to $400K in value and some homes have
the original homeowners still present with our oldest home built in about 2004.
The proposed development will put a tremendous strain on our schools, increase traffic,
displace and endanger our large population of wildlife and seriously overcrowd that parcel of
land. That whole area is on a flood plain which means every one of those homes will need to
carry expensive flood plain insurance.
We have been dry this summer but I remember a couple of years ago much of that golf course
was under water!
I cannot imagine the amount of traffic that will come through Woodlawn! We currently are
responsible as an HOA for all the trees, lights, green space all along Woodlawn. This is a
considerable expense for our HOA and yet that is a public street! Our children cross that
street to go to school and to see their friends. Bikers and walkers use this street extensively.
We have asked repeatedly and have been unable to even get the city to put a 25 mph speed
limit sign at the south end of Woodlawn. (Woodlawn "dead ends" at 40th - 40th goes directly
to Horizon Middle School)
Our residents are so concerned many are considering selling their homes.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Diane Bailly
