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 /> 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 />
