The case notes do not show a traffic impact study was completed You want to rezone, cut the few existing wind blocking trees in an agricultural area, for what the petition calls diverse housing. All Karns schools are already over crowded. The case notes imply graduating seniors will stop the over crowding and make room for new students living in the proposed apartments. This does not account for all the new subdivisions & apartments currently under construction with in a 7 mile radius in all directions. What is the infrastructure plan to account for the new proposed apartments along with all new finished construction within the past 1 year ( 7 mile radius in all directions) and the current under construction or coming soon construction within the same radius? What is it based off of, since there is no traffic study completed in 2025, posted within this case?
The proposal also states & is signed by the developer, they plan to talk to community members about this plan. Does he plan to hold a town hall and give the community enough time to plan to attend, during non traditional working hours. Most planning meetings are held on Wednesdays at 130 pm. A time known that he majority had no option to attend.
There needs ro be a traffic study completed, instead of apartments, you could build another school to help with over crowding of existing Middle school.(any of the schools).
