Subject:Please Don't allow rezoning of the SW corner of Locust Grove and Victory
External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
Dear City Council,
Please do not pass the Compass Pointe application #H-2020-0100 I am highly opposed to the Compass Pointe
zoning application and development at the corner of Victory and S Locust Grove intersection for the
development of the 4.69 acre lot consisting of 48 high density town homes and a private road. I live in
Cavenaugh, a nearby development in Meridian. The entry that my family uses onto Locust Grove from Pistioa
can already take several minutes due to it’s proximity to the busy intersection at Locust Grove and Meridian.
Adding an additional road with 48 units even closer to the intersection will make this road even more
congested. Adding a round about (with the intent to keep traffic moving) will make turning onto Locust Grove
even more difficult because there will no longer be a break to make that turn when the traffic lights change. I do
not believe that with a round about, that cars trying to turn on locust grove will have enough warning to safely
enter the road. This will contribute to frustrated residents making riskier moves pulling out, which will cause
many more accidents in the area.
In addition to this, this area is already unfriendly to pedestrians. The sidewalks have no continuity on Locust
Grove or Victory making it impossible to walk between the four corners. The increased traffic and round about
instead of the stoplight (with crosswalks) will make this area even less safe for foot and bike traffic, such as my
children who attend school on and piano lessons the other side of Locust Grove.
Please, Please, do not allow adding this high density building project to overwhelm our small roads. This tiny
plot physically has no place for an outlet that would not overwhelm this intersection. I recognize that high
density housing is important, but please only choose to allow it on plots that can allow for safe entrance on to
roads that can support the added traffic.
Thank You,
Kimberly Horch
