We have lived on Meeting house Road for 44 Years, and there was only one home on this property this whole time. Adding 50-60 more vehicles to Jenkins road every day could be a nightmare. Jenkins is our only way out and our home is at a deadend. Hopefully you will vote NO!!!! to this expansion.

I have no problems with development of the property on Jenkins road. However, my concern is with the number of homes that will be built on the land. Jenkins Road is not a big road at all and already carries the traffic from several subdivisions. Jenkins road also has a blind hill before getting to the property. This blind hill and speed of cars coming over the hill is already dangerous coming out of the Westop ll, the subdivision directly across the street from development. Please consider limiting the number of homes to two to three homes per acre. Thank you for your consideration.

I am against rezoning to planned residential. Zoning 3 units per acre is absurd. At a maximum, it should be 1 unit per acre to main the aesthetics of the land. See attached comments (cross-filed with 5-C-22-SP).

Please do not approve housing more dense that three houses per acre for the lot at 7912 Jenkins Road. Please consider the existing neighbors of this property in your decision-making. Please think - what if this proposed development were near my house? What would I want near me?

We don't need a 30% increase in traffic on tiny, no shoulder, Jenkins Road. We don't need all this additional traffic trying to enter Jenkins at a blind hill.

Also, when are you going to put a sidewalk on Jenkins Road? We have no choice but to drive to leave our home due to the lack of sidewalk or even shoulder on Jenkins. We're actually within walking distance to the shopping center at Cedar Bluff and Middlebrook with the Krogers, but the only safe way to get there is to get in a car.
