I am signing this petition because my family and I enjoy living in a rural environment. We enjoy the fresh air and the opportunity to walk out the door and into the woods to hunt. We have never liked seeing houses built side by side so closely that there is very little privacy. We would not want to live like that.

The density of Rockingham county will greatly increase. We will remove the exact reason people enjoy the county and that is because it is RURAL. Summerfield is doing the exact same thing and you can see how up in arms the people there are about it. It’s not wise, and people will retaliate in a very unpleasant manner. You are taking what they hold dear and stripping them of it.

Our county cannot support that many more people with the number of schools that we currently have.

This is where I grew up, my mom & siblings still live on Mineral Springs. My children go to True Gospel Christian School on 704. This has always been farm land & a beautiful rural area where the neighbors know & look after each other. We dont want this area to become overpopulated & unrecognizable. This is why my parents chose to
build their home here because of the spacious land. This small town & rural community can't handle this extreme growth, neither can our roads,schools & grocery store

I live here and know this will turn into a Hugh problem as they build and once they finish. They have no concern about the aftermath once they start or finish.

Heartsick about the degradation to our rural farmland. The influx of development is horrific. There is no infrastructure to accommodate schools, EMS, fire departments, etc. I feel like there has not been a governing entity that actually studied the consequences of all of the developments that are replacing former farms that will ultimately effect the quality of life and land value and sustainability the area. Consider run off, pollution, water supply, sewage, traffic hazards, schools, etc..

The next few years represent the largest transfer of wealth in our country, not just our county. Farmland being sold for development. Once it's gone, it's gone. Think about it long and hard.

I own a small piece of land in Rockingham County, where I live. I don't want all this building to crowd us into small areas. Also as has been pointed out, our infrastructure for fire, EMS and more should not be minimized by requiring more of our workers than could be done.

We in Rockingham County bought to live in a quiet rural area. We need to stop the expansion of housing here. Buy letting this project to go forward we loss that country feeling. It use to be that if you build a home here it had to be on 1 acre of land and that has changed. The infrastructure can not handle this. Roads, schools, water, and sewage are not set up for that. Nature in the area will be pushed out or they will have to be removed. On top of that services will have to be increased.

We want rural living. 6 houses per acres should never happen. I worked for the school system and they are so overcrowded as it is.

I moved from TN to a more rural area because this has happened over there and is out of control. Force developer to pay for all related infrastructure costs and tell them 2 -3 houses per acre. They MUST be responsible for ALL impact fees

This affects land where I grew up in. This is not acceptable for Rockingham County. Or any other County! Leave our Rural Communities alone!

I am a firm believer that we need to keep our rural areas. I do not oppose growth but I do oppose it when it has the potential to become uncontrollable as this does.
