NO MORE out of control development!
Traffic, noise, waste run off in our lakes will be a detriment to SummerBrooke

Traffic already ridiculous on Bannerman and Meridian Roads. Infrastructure of roads is ALWAYS way behind in Leon County, yet new housing developments continue to get approved. Please do NOT approve this request.

We in Summerbrooke do not want more trees cut down, more run-off into our lakes nor more traffic on Bannerman. The first step should have been to make Bannerman four lanes, with a bike lane!!

Meridian and Thomasville Rd are already too busy and grid locked in the mornings and evenings. No new homes until the commute is fixed!

The Bannerman rezoning is a terrible proposal. The Summerbrooke community will be seriously hurt.

Commisioners, please reconsider voting yes to amend the Leon County ordinance No 92-11. The two-laned Bannerman Road is already congested with bumper to bumper traffic with the current established communities. Rezoning the parcel of land to smaller sized lots to fit in more housing would cause stand still traffic during busy hours. This rezoning would also put a burden on our schools to keep the student/teacher minimums. But I have to advocate more for our environment. Bannerman and Oxbottom areas have gone through an overwhelming growth within the last couple years destroying our natural envirement. This has caused displacement of wild animals chasing them into our neighborhoods eating our cats and dogs as well as becoming a threat to our children. I moved here 12 years ago from tree barron south Florida and loved it up here with all the green trees (which are disappearing exponentially) Please consider stopping this major overgrowth of houses built on top of each other in our community. Thank you.

I came here because it is a quiet and nice area in which to live. We certainly do not need a development which will produce more traffic, over crowd our schools and ruin the atmosphere of our neighborhood. There is truly nothing positive that I can see coming from a decision to allow more homes and businesses in this area. Please do not approve this rezoning

This proposed rezoning will be disastrous for Summerbrooke and the neighboring communities. If Premier Homes gets this land, you can look forward to a high density housing that is not compatible with our community and will greatly impact our home values, traffic, schools. But what do they care, they don't live here! If you are able, PLEASE attend the County Commission meeting on April 10 at 6pm.

There is way too much congestion as it is!!! It takes close to an hour to drive from Betton Hills to Bannerman Road between 5:30-6:30 p.m. some days! There has been overdevelopment at this point. The schools are overcrowded already! Not a good idea to add another population increase in the Thomasville Road/ North Meridian/Bannerman area. Period.

Seems to me the new land owner of the parcel in question is interested in the bottom line for profit and not at all concerned regarding impact of his decisions. My wife and I are in retirement years and invested a great deal of our savings for security of living in a safe environment. There is already a great deal of "cut through" traffic on Summerbrooke Dr." and "Preservation" with little to no patrol of streets. We experienced a vandal causing a great deal of damage to one of our vehicles. I am grateful for the members of law enforcement who living in our community, but with the sure to be increase influx of traffic... ? HIGH DENSITY HOUSING SHOULD BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE PROPOSED REZONING!

The current infrastructure does not support a higher density use for this parcel of land. The solution is to have a plan in place to widen Bannerman Road first and then consider rezoning this land once that project has been approved and funded. Rezoning at this time is putting the cart before the horse and will exacerbate traffic congestion on Bannerman Road while increasing cut-through traffic through SummerBrooke. Increased traffic through SummerBrooke will be detrimental to resident safety.

Dangerous-More traffic on a blind hill and miles of congestion at rush hour.
No immediately available collateral flow will make emergency access for major fires and hurricanes virtually impossible.
