I was recently made aware of the challengers plats plan development for the corner of Amity and Hillsdale road. I am very concerned about this development going in with town homes and apartments. First the school, Hillsdale elementary is already over capacity and kids that have lived in this neighborhood can’t get in. With the influx of kids in apartments and town homes will only add to the stress of an already overwhelmed school. Second, I am really concerned that this development would decrease the value of our homes that we have worked so hard to build over the years. Third, traffic will be even more dangerous than it already is. With apartments and town homes, the streets in our neighborhood would not be as safe. 1 Also, I worry that crime in this area would increase exponentially. I lived in a nice area that then build apartments and town homes next to it and ended up having to move due to crime rates going up and it was not safe for my children. Please consider these reasons before you make a final decision. I fear many would leave this beautiful area if this is allowed to be built. Thank you, Jennifer Campos 2
