This land was intended for the use of <br />single family homes. The land is adjacent to swamp land and the neighborhood to the <br />north is downhill from the proposed building site. The homes to the north have private <br />wells. There is great concern for runoff from the proposed building site, not only during <br />construction but as well as future use of chemicals to treat the grounds. It can impact <br />drinking water as well as the protected wetlands. Can the water table support the <br />demands of a high school and irrigation system as well as an additional 300 homes <br />mile north? There are hundreds of mature trees on that property as well as young <br />white spruce trees that are going to be bulldozed. Hundreds of butterflies and other <br />pollinators inhabit that land. The school cannot possibly replace the maturity of a forest <br />of that caliber in our lifetime, no matter what they propose. <br />I can write a thousand reasons why putting a high school and football stadium in a <br />residential neighborhood has dire consequences to the land and our environment, but <br />quite frankly I don't think anyone will even read this letter. There is so much dirty <br />politics involved in this deal and I feel like the residents are wasting their time and <br />energy to fight a losing battle. Every single one of the City Council members have direct <br />involvement with either the church or the school. There has been no mention of any of <br />
