Dear Mr. Conger,
I have lived at 1155 W Victory Rd at the northwest side of the projected Revolution Ridge Subdivision for
23 years and have water rights for both delivery and runoff water across your property.
I am requesting in writing the drawings and specifications on the unrestricted delivery of my irrigation
water from The Sundell Lateral wier which is at the southwest corner of your projected subdivision
where my water originates at this time. In addition, please provide what designs and plans for my
runoff water that passes on the north side of the projected subdivision along West Victory Road. My
runoff has been flowing across this path for the entire 23 years that we have owned this property.
It is important to see your plan to insure my uninterrupted water delivery for field irrigation and water
waste removal. Your plan has the potential to affect my crop of alfalfa hay currently under cultivation
that is used to feed my cows.
Thank you for your quick response to this inquiry.
Regards,
Kevin Petty, Owner

To whom it may concern:
This letter is regarding the proposed development of the Revohrtion Ridge Subdivision.
My wife. and I have owned property and lived in the immediate area for over 31 years. First for
about 8 years at 900 W Victory Rd, and then moving to our current address 1155 W Victory Rd for the
next 23 years.
We have met several times with the developer Jim Conger about incorporating our acreage into
the proposed new development, and have studied the preliminary plans. Currently, the plans have road
access to my property for future developmem at our northeast corner, and for future connection to W
Victory Rd For the purposes of developing our land as well, this proposed connection would not suit our
interests, and I believe even create traffic flow issues.
I am concerned that the several school busses that come and go many times a day would create
excessive traffic issues with the current proposed developmem plans. I am also of the opinion that the
projected temporary access lane for emergencies is too close to the bus stops and would cause bottle neck
situations, especially when construction starts and many large trucks and construction workers' vehicles
are present. As it is currently, Kentucky Way has many automobiles parked at the subdivision's entrance
to pick up or drop off their children to avoid the cold, as well as the walk down a long, narrow road that
they would otherwise need to walk down, without sidewalks, to reach their pick up location. Upon
completion of the current plans, there would be less than 200 feet from the emergency lane, to Kemucky
Way's entrance.
A better solution, both for development purposes, as well as future traffic would be to have the
connection to our property from the new subdivision to be located at or about 300 feet south of property
pins on W. Victory Rd. This would facilitate a future connection to W Victory Road directly across from
the current Cobble Way, creating a cross intersection. This change would also extend the distance for
entrrance for emergency purposes from less than 200 feet to close to 600 feet. I have included at rough
visual reference demonstrating the proposed changes I am putting forth.
I have mentioned my proposed changes .for this plan to an associate of the possible developer and
current owner. of the property directly west of me, and he believed that the adjustments would benefit the
future development of that property as well.
Without connections through my property, the subdivision would be operating through one
entrance at Kentucky Way. Having only one entrance to what will be around 100 homes seems
inadequate.
