Dear Denyelle,
We are homeowners
here
in the Glenshire neighborhood.
I admit to being oblivious to most of what has been
transpiring, regarding
the
Canyon Springs projects, UNTIL
NOW that is!
This
is beyond
our wildest imagination, that the whole reason
we picked this, quiet, out of the way place, that we did, is
now
intended
to be developed into a congested, high density
living area.
For one thing Glenshire Drive SCARED me when I first drove it and I told my husband I did not want to live out here with
that road. I only changed my mind when we realized that it was relatively quiet as long as it wasn't rush hour ... and I can
easily avoid those times..,..NOT if we get developments like Canyon Springs though .... Is that development worth risking
more people's lives, because you must be aware of how ill equipped Glenshire Drive is, for heavy traffic ... all the workers
that will travel to the work -site, will be an enormous uptick in traffic and congestion all day long.
Will Glenshire Drive be rebuilt before this project is approved by any chance?
We also bought in this area, PRECISELY due to the undeveloped land where Canyon Springs is intending to build ... the
beauty of Glenshire IS the open area right there ... That is where all the wild animals live and make Glenshire unique with
it's nature... that's the charm ... why else do people live 5+ from town?
This is a SELLING point for the homes here! "Look right out there is all undeveloped land, yes that is what Glenshire is all
about."
I fail to understand WHY there appears to be no Migration Corridor in the area that Canyon Springs is to be developed? I
see deer there, ALL THE TIME in the mornings..from spring to fall ... I was told that there is absolutely NO building allowed
on a Migration Corridor ... is that not true?
I do understand, that BRIDGES will have to be built out in the woods for the roads to span the waterways? Could we
destroy the atmosphere surrounding this area MORE? Or destroy the natural habitats of nature more?
This is a slippery slope, the future of Glenshire rests on this development, if this one happens, many more will
follow ... the area cannot support these developments ... it will become undesirable to live here as a result. What would be
the value of living in this area?
I know that you have gotten MANY MANY letters from other concerned residents, so I won't continue, other than to
say ... I have no problem with a couple of lots, here and there, being developed, and a new families moving in to the
area ... but I fear the TRAFFIC, THE ENORMOUS WASTE OF BEAUTY, THE HOUSING GLUT, HOUSING VALUE DECLINE, THE
OVERCROWDING OF THE SCHOOLS, STREETS, FACILITIES, ETC., that this 20 year project will bring!
1
In Closing.... This is too big of a project for such a SMALL area ... the massive amount of noise, pollution, transients, trucks,
materials... all converging for YEARS in our neighborhood is beyond what people living here will be able to
bear.... everyone here will suffer the consequences financially and physically... the investors of this project ... they will be
laughing.... somewhere ELSE!
Thank you for your time... and if there is any information you can send me, on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Jennifer Hinkle
