Subject: Wildlife area
I have lived west of Merced College since 1985. This was once an area adjoining wildlife areas with abundant raptors feasting on the ground squirrels in the many open fields remaining in their native state.
With the advancement of growth we have lost most of our open space consequently the wildlife as well.
Please keep the area that lies at the north end of R Street and west of Fahrens Creek open and uninhabited. The increase in population, pollution and traffic plus, intrusion on the environment is not acceptable. It’s not worth losing this native area.
Additionally, stop plowing and adding piles of dirt it is already being destroyed.
I’m looking forward to your response.
Thank you,
Patricia S. Lewis

Good morning, Ms. Lewis. Thank you for your comments regarding development at the north end of R Street and west of Fahrens Creek. I assume you received a public hearing notice or saw the notice in the paper regarding the changes proposed in the Bellevue Ranch area. The proposed changes would not affect the area north of R Street, west of Fahrens Creek. The Bellevue Ranch area is on the east side of R Street and the areas adjacent to Fahrens Creek are designated as open space to preserve the natural wildlife and habitat in the area. I hope this answers any questions you had and alleviates your concerns with this project.
Best Regards,
Julie Nelson,
Senior Planner
