Please consider the nature of the surrounding neighborhood when you establish the allowable density of this development. The additional traffic created by this development will present issues as well. Has a traffic study been performed? The owners of this property have a right to develop it and profit from their endeavor. Serious deterioration of the nearby property owners' quality of life should not be collateral damage in their search for maximum profit, however.

My husband and I are opposed to Special Use being permitted to build 32 townhomes at 932 N. Gallaher. We reside at 600 Mars Hill Road. We bought this property because it was a quiet residential area. It is our understanding that West Hills has been zoned as a low residential area. It is our wish that it remains so, primarily for the preservation and safety of this community.
North Gallaher View Road is not equipped to handle the volume of traffic these additional town homes would create and would create hazardous traffic conditions in our community. We are opposed to the exemption that has been made for Special Use, however, we are not opposed to homes being built on this property that comply with local ordinance of WHCA to keep this a low residential area.

This is a very poor development plan for this neighborhood. I can say with certainty that no one wants these 32 town houses on this property. Access to the development off Gallaher View Road will be almost impossible during rush hour, and an entrance from Mars Hill Road will be difficult to make. The neighbors of this development are vehemently against this. This is a very poor use of this property. Magnificent old trees that house nesting hawks will be destroyed. Please do not approve this agenda item. Thank you.
