Residents of this neighborhood are mostly young families. Our children do not deserve to breathe gravel dust and listen to truck engines while playing or selling lemonade. Without tree screening, the noise and storage yard lights will keep newborns and tired parents awake all year. Many teenagers are learning to drive on this road, and close factory operations will only add to their distraction and pressure. Also, those of us with daughters have reservations about welcoming workers within 150 feet of their bedrooms. All of these concerns could be alleviated by increasing the site setback and maintaining a mature tree buffer. Please consider placing an additional 50-100 feet of no-cut setback between Adams Road and the proposed berm. This will only reduce the factory footprint by 3-5% but save millions of dollars in property value and provide our families with safety, protection, and peace. Hundreds are concerned, many are considering moving. This is a very small request for our families that would have no impact on the site’s productivity. Kids don’t choose where they grow up. At this stage, only you can approve a site plan that protects the environment of the children of Adams Road, Rip Van Lane, and Larkspur drive. Thank you for your consideration and for your service to the City. Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
