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,
Krystal Larson
