From: Alexandria St John To: Todd Larson Subject: Strong Objection to Development of Lord of Life Property Date: Tuesday,August 1,2023 8:40:40 PM Dear Mr Larson I am writing to express my vehement objection to the proposed development of the Lord of Life property in our community.As a concerned resident,I feel compelled to outline the potential devastating impact this development could have on our surrounding communities,families,and neighbors. First and foremost,the increase in traffic,landscape alterations,and population growth resulting from this development will undoubtedly disrupt the peaceful and safe environment that we currently enjoy. The influx of additional vehicles will lead to congestion,making it harder for residents to commute and risking the safety of pedestrians,especially children and elderly individuals. Furthermore,the proposed development does not seem to align with the recent developments in surrounding communities,which have not shown a need for such expansion.Instead,it appears to be driven by developers' interests without considering the genuine needs and desires of the families in our community. Speaking of which,I want to emphasize that the families in our neighborhood do not want this development.Many of the residents have made their voices heard in various forums,expressing their strong opposition to this project.It is crucial to respect the wishes of the community members who will be directly affected by this development. The potential consequences of this development extend beyond mere inconvenience;it has the potential to push the area to be overpopulated,leading to the displacement of many long-standing residents.Moreover,our already burdened schools would be overwhelmed by the influx of new students,making it challenging for them to provide quality education. Another grave concern is the increase in crime that often accompanies rapid urbanization and population growth. The introduction of a large development like this can bring in outsiders and transient populations,leading to potential security risks and jeopardizing the safety of our families. In light of these numerous and compelling reasons,I urge you to reconsider the approval of the development of the Lord of Life property. Instead,let us focus on fostering sustainable growth that respects the needs and wishes of the community and preserves the safety,serenity,and well-being of our neighborhood. Thank you for considering my objections.I hope that you will carefully weigh the consequences of this development on the surrounding communities before making any decisions. Sincerely, One of Many.
