I am not opposed to this property being developed, but I am very worried about the high density nature of the current proposal. My concerns are as follows: - School Crowding. Hillsdale Elementary School is currently at its maximum capacity and so are many of the neighboring elementary schools. Where will the children living in this new development be going to school? - Traffic. Hillsdale Lane and Amity are both becoming very congested at this point in time. Can the infrastructure really handle a significant increase in traffic? - Parking. It is my understanding that some of the units will have tandem parking and very little common parking, according to the engineering firm responsible for the design, which does not seem practical for a 2-car family. Where will these additional vehicles be parked? - Multi-Density Approach. The current proposal as I understand it calls for some apartment units. This is not in keeping with the style of the existing community. There are no apartments within at least one mile of our development. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this further with me. Thanks, Chris Johnson 2
