| 4 | Melissa Eurich | I agree whole heartedly that condemnation should be used as a last resort when there are no other options available. There are other options available, other land for sale on 71. The traffic issues that Hamilton pool rd can not contain this increased traffic is a real one. Also environmentally, this much asphalt on the Eduards aquifer recharge Zone is a concerning issue. Haven't we have enough sports complexes in this area? This is an educational luxury item, not a real education issue, one worth wrenching a generational homestead out from under a citizen when there are other options available. |
| 5 | ANN SMITH | UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD IT EVER BE OK TO UPROOT A FAMILY THAT HAS HAD A HOME AND LAND IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS. LTISD MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS PROPERTY. |

| 7 | Bonnie Wilson | I am against condemnation of the Grumbles family property for use by LTISD. Taking of private property by the District must not occur. Please seek property for sale by others. |
| 8 | Ric Sternberg | |
| 9 | Anonymous | I strongly urge the LTISD to find another location. The Grumbles family has the support of so many of us in the area. We want them to be able to keep their family ranch and find it totally insensitive and objectionable that LTISD would "take" their home. |
| 10 | Sage S Johnston | |
| 11 | Alison O'Balle | I am opposed to condemnation by LTISD of the Grumbles ranch on Hamilton Pool Rd. Please consider land that is already for sale farther west on Hwy 71 for the proposed bus barn, sports complex and possible school. |

| 13 | Nancy and Mike Emmert | |
| 14 | Jueri Svjagintsev | No Takings. The use of condemnation powers by the school district is an assault on the principle of property ownership and erodes the rights of ALL property owners.
Ain't we an 'Ownership Society'? |

| 17 | Christy Muse | This is wrong. Find another location. |

| 19 | Richard Grumbles | OWNER. I would like the school to purchase land that is up for sale instead of trying to take land from the unwilling. I think that spending money in court is not in the best interest of the tax payers that provide the funds for the school. |
| 20 | Marcy Holloway | |
| 21 | Lisa Wilcox | I think this would too much traffic and congestion on an already busy road. I also think this is the wrong way to get property-what's to stop them from taking all of our property? |
| 22 | lisa brooks | There are many other choices for you to persue. Please leave one of the oldest working ranches in our area along. |
| 23 | Colleen Rinaldi | What happened to democratic government? This is a hostile take over! These people have worked and supported Bee Cave long before most of us ever heard of it. I am appalled at the lack of concern for their rights! There are other choices! there is alot of road along Hwy 71 that is in the school district that would be more attainable, rather than evicting a family that has been here for generations. |

| 27 | Pepper Morris-Pfiester | This threat of the power of eminent domain should make all of us quake in our boots. Shame on LTISD for even considering this. I don't recall the year but Willie Nelson offered to GIVE LTISD land for a school in western Travis County. Look out here for goodness sake! |
| 28 | susie fowler | Please consider this family right to own this land.
There are plenty of WILLING sellers to contract for this school complex.
thank, you, Susie Fowler
LTISD since 1985 |
| 29 | Phillip R. Conard | There are many much more suitable pieces of property for sale currently on the market; it is contemptable to confiscate a working ranch when so many better options are available. |
| 30 | Mark Madere | I strongly oppose any such hostile and abominable actions by LTISD in the forceful acquisition of any persons property. The privilege of land ownership is an American dream and constitutional right. Such a seizure is not only un-American, but a horrendous crime. I pray the good people and our justice system refute the undermining tactics of the unscrupulous LTISD board. The owners right to possess and refuse sale or seizure of property must be honored and protected. |

| 33 | Kim Milelr | I grew up in this area and went to Dripping Springs before LTISD existed. The Grumbles were in school with me, and their children were in school with my son when he went to LTISD K-12. How dare you try to take someone's property that has live here longer than you have been around. This is the cherry on top of a long list of actions by the school district that are appauling. |
| 34 | Connie Henry | This would truly be a needless and heartless action to remove the Grumbles from their home especially with many other options in the LTISD district. PLEASE RECONSIDER. The results of this plan will have a multi-faceted impact in this area. |

| 36 | Gail Nash | How could the LTISD do such a thing and still sleep at night. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Why don't you approach properties where owners want to sell? I'm sure there are plenty around. |
| 37 | Andrew Stough | |
| 38 | Stephen Nash | SHAMEFUL!!! It scares me that a small group of greedy people can come in and just take someones property like that. It should be against the law. |
| 39 | dayton grumbles | This ranch property should not be condemed! It has been in the family, longer than I can remember. |
| 40 | Andrew Stough | It's one thing to expand a highway and take neccessary land, but it's quite another to take land from a family far from the schools themselves. |
| 41 | Kimberly Frazer | Do the right thing and find somewhere else to build your buildings. I hope Karma someday comes back to haunt you all. |
| 42 | ALLISON HARPOLD | I have never heard of such a thing, this is absolutely wrong for this school district to think they can do this.
I do not live in Austin but I wish you much luck in keeping your property |

| 44 | Anonymous | We would prefer a LTISD facility of this size moved further out west on Hwy. 71, where it is wanted, and away from Hamilton Pool Road. The HPR area is rapidly developing with high end homes as a residential area and this type of facility would negatively impact its neighbors with light pollution, noise pollution, and especially, additional traffic that the existing roads cannot handle with any safety. Please consider these points, as well as the concern of many that the negative publicity to the district far out weighs the districts possible solution of using eminent domain. Please purchase property that is for sale. |

| 48 | Hugh Winkler | Just go buy some land on the open market like any person or business would do. As the petition says, "This is not a situation where the District has no choice but condemnation". You should use your ED powers sparingly. |
| 49 | Peggy Schatz | |
| 50 | Elaine Johnston | The two main issues to me are: 1) taking away a family's property when they have made it very clear that they don't want to sell, when there are other landowners in more appropriate areas that would be happy to sell; and 2) the safety (or lack thereof) of the increased traffic on Hamilton Pool Road. |
