Our family is adamantly opposed to the approval of this subdivision based on safety, school, wildlife and infrastructure concerns for the community.
Our property is on Caspian Drive and is the first road turning onto Sam Lee Rd after the location of the 400 house development. Many construction vehicles i.e. dump trucks, log trucks, construction delivery trucks cannot even stay in their lane since the roads are too narrow. Many people will likely be hurt or killed with the additional traffic.
 
The local wildlife has already been endangered and disrupted by out-of-control building. Coyotes and other dangerous animals which usually stay far from homes have had their homes turned into neighborhoods and have began to show aggressive and harmful behavior toward people and pets in our community.
 
My house and 2 of our neighbors have had floods inside and outside our homes causing thousands in damages to our our properties. Our home had plumbing ruptures that resulted in a $100,000 property loss and having to be displaced to an apartment for 7 months. All of this is due to pressure increases for the new 40 house neighborhood built below our property.
All large and dense developments should be halted until all the safety, school, wildlife and infrastructure concerns are addressed in a thorough plan accounts for current and future needs of our community.
