My neighbors and I appreciate land zoned for agriculture as it helps keep our population less dense, our farming community thriving, and our surroundings more enjoyable. Currently, our schools are at max capacity for optimal learning and safety. Our roads also need many repairs before handling more traffic. We are already underserved in essential resources such as grocery stores, healthcare access, and emergency services. Allowing 194 more apartments to be built in this school zone in addition to the other multi-dwelling housing already approved recently (ie- Universal at Strawberry Plains Apartments, Village at Strawberry Hills, and Strawberry Meadows Townhomes) is negligent, not only for the reasons mentioned above, but also for childrenâs safety. Pleasant Hill is not eligible for a bus route, nor does it have a sidewalk. Increased apartments would result in increased kids walking on the narrow, winding roads home with increased traffic. It is both my and your responsibility to protect the Carter Community. In doing so we protect the legacy of those before us and safeguard the future of our children. Growth without proper planning is not progress, itâs a problem that causes more problems. The Carter Community would greatly appreciate you voting âNOâ to rezoning Pleasant Hill so it can continue to live up to its name as a pleasant place for those who have been living there for generations.
