Dear Planning and Zoning Commission, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed new Gateway At
Ten Mile housing development project. While I understand the need for growth in our city, I believe this particular
development raises significant concerns that have not been adequately addressed. Infrastructure Strain: My primary
concern lies with the lack of existing infrastructure to support such a large influx of residents. The current roads, schools,
and water resources are already stretched thin. An increase in population would put a significant strain on these
systems, leading to: • Traffic Congestion: Ten Mile Road is already notorious for congestion. This development would
undoubtedly worsen traffic flow, creating longer commutes and safety hazards for all residents. • School Capacity:
Schools like Chaparral are already at capacity. The additional students this development would bring could overwhelm
the system, hindering the quality of education for all children. • Water Consumption: This development's water needs
could overtax the current water supply. We risk potential shortages and a decline in water pressure, impacting the
entire area. Master Plan Integrity: This proposed development seems to be another instance where exceptions are made
to the city's master plan. The area is not zoned for high-density residential housing. Approving this project would further
erode the integrity of the plan and create a precedent for future, unplanned development. Reassessment Needed:
Before approving any further development, I urge the commission to halt all building and conduct a thorough
reassessment of the city's master plan. This reassessment should consider the current infrastructure limitations and
ensure future development aligns with the needs of our growing community. Thank you for considering my concerns. I
urge you to reject the proposed development and prioritize a sustainable growth plan for our city. Sincerely, Molly
Rosen
