RE: Su~herland Farm, lnc application for annexing & zoning
To: Mefidiim City Council
Dear Council Mombers,
My husband & I own the property on Victory Road directly to the south of the proposed
Sutherland Farm development and where they plan for the entry and egress to the
development onto Victory Road.
Properties on both north and sOUth of Victory Road in this area are 5 acre parcels for the
most pan. We object to the southern portion ofthe proposed development where higher
density of residences would be adjacent to Victory Road.
Our concern is for the additional traffic trying to get onto Victory Road in from of our
residence. Due to the traffic congestion of the Freeway and Eagle Road, there is much
more high-speed muqic on Victory Road. It is difficult now for us to safely turn west
onto Victory Road and more traffic entering across the road would compound the
problem. When traffic is congested on the Freeway due to an accident or icy conditions,
traffic on Victory Road is olen at a stand still and bumper-to-bumper.
We are also concerned that the traffic turning out of the developmcnt onto Victory Road
would shire directly imo the front of our residence at night. A fence along the southern
boundary might help some but that still wouldn't prevent lights shining in from traffic
turning east from the development onto Victory Road,
The answer would be to keep the southern portion of the development at five acre parcels
and keep the higher density commercial and residential zonin8 and annexing toward the:
north and Overland Rd,
Sincerely,
3595 E. Victory Road
