Subject: Re: I’m writing in regards to the requested plan change I received. I… Hi Casey I’m currently out of town and don’t have the information with me . I recall that someone else
had already sent something back and I support that position. My address is 4572 W. Shields Ave and I forgot to mention all the traffic from the high school. When school is on, in the morning I can’t ge t out of my driveway because traffic is backed up from the Blythe traffic light towards Cornelia. It’s like that in the afternoon when they get out too. Also about a year ago I called sheriff Margaret Mims office to offer my front yard for free to put a speed light or a camera because of the racing on Shields. So unfortunatel
y there’s some traffic issues that should be addressed prior to development of anything.
Thank you for responding and your time, Debbie

Hi Debbi
e,
Thank you for the email. To be sure I enter this correctly into the record, I have a few follow up questions I'd like to confirm with you.
1. Is this regarding Request #14‐1? (the # is on the front above your address)
2. Are you supporting the whole request, a portion, or just your property to st ay at the
current General Plan designations? If just your property, please let me know the APN or address.
2 Thank you for any clarification you can provide. It is helpful in ensuring we get the right information to decision‐makers.
Best,
Casey

I’m writing in regards to the requested plan change I received. I would like to request that the current plan remain the same. I understand the need for development
however, that is not why I moved to the country. As development has come through the roads have not been maintained. Shields and Valentine intersections have big lumps, bumps and potholes. I have driven that route for the last 3 years and now I just don’t go that way anymore as it is r
uining my car. Unfortunately that is the only way to the Clinton Avenue Overpass, which is always backed up. Ashlan overpass is consistently backed up as well. Only during the pandemic when kids were homeschooled was it not. I ask that anyone who wants to develop or condense the housin g take into consideration
there is no overpass for Shields Avenue or Dakota and this will only create more traffic congestion than we already have. Thank you for your time .

Hi Casey,
Happy WANSP Planning Commission week!
I was looking through the agenda and noticed that for the Polk and Shields land use change request, you have the commercial on the entire Shields Ave frontage (see attached screenshot).
Attached is the parcel map showing what the commercial sho uld be – the acreage is the same in both (2.6 net acres) but the residential won’t work without two points of access so I wanted to make sure I differentiated between the two to notate that the commercial shouldn’t extend down the entire Shields Ave frontage.
We will be there on Wednesday,
but wanted to reach out to you and give you a heads up.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Casey,
First of all, thank you for helping me with this. Last week I did say that I favored the Community Commercial designation. But, after giving it some thought and speaking with the Realtor, it’s in our best interest to keep it as Residential Medium Density.
Therefore, we are opposing the Comm
unity Commercial designation.
Sorry for the confusion and hope this is clear. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Pam

Hi Pam,
Thank you for the email. To be certain of clarity in the record, could I please ask which which land use designation you are opposing?
Are you opposing the Community Commercial designation or the Residential Medium Density designation?
Per our conversation last week I be
lieve that you wanted the Community Commercial designation to remain, thus would oppose the Residential designation, but please let me know if this is correct.
Best,
Casey

Dear Casey,
We were notified that you would like to make a Land Use Change for our property APN #31205214. We are opposed to this. It is connected to a neighboring 14 acres. We currently have these properties for sale as one piece for potential
development
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
