Thanks to Cherie for providing us her letter to .
Be sure to email Ms. Kattan your letter!
The project proposal will compromise the public welfare/good by overbuilding in a fragile resource area and will destroy wetland buffers and RPA (Resource Protected Areas) WITHOUT justifiable cause or necessity, other than sheer profit . The proposal has not fully avoided and minimized impact as required by law. ALSO, the measures being taken to minimize discharge & pollution from 1,063 more units are insufficient based on exaggerated and inaccurate information related to current drainage patterns, and the actual value and functioning of the wetland area, which already filters and buffers. Additionally, the proposal does not prove that there will be a “no-net” increase in pollution/run-off and discharge when the project is considered alone. Bottom-line, you don’t add more of the same to purportedly, do a “better” clean up. This land area is not a wasted, valueless, ineffective and corrupted wetland as the developer has reported it to be. My husband, Gary Vaughan, and myself are totally against this project for the above mentioned reasons, as well as, for the negative impact of increase in traffic, road deterioration, and over crowding of schools that the building of this site and eventual residency will bring to this area.
Sincerely,
Cherie and Gary Vaughan
