You're an idiot to think we need that many more homes built in this area

Please understand the FULL scope of this matter: in addition to apartment buildings, there is the VERY real prospect of 3-4 story commercial buildings!

This is a serious issue for anyone who uses the Bannerman/Thomasville or Bannerman/Meridian corridors including many of our neighbors in Killearn Lakes, Golden Eagle, Rosehill, Oakgrove, and Rhoden Cove (to name only a few)—and I suspect that most of them have no detailed understanding of this proposal and its potential impact on THEM. Spread the word wide...

And the mixed use concept is predicated on ample public transportation and bike usage. BRILLIANT—let’s (a) bring the density of the city OUT here, (b) have city buses stopping up and down TWO-LANE roads that are ALREADY hopelessly congested, and (c) add a few bicycles into the mix!

“Increase affordable houszing”? The concept of affordable housing is for OWNERS not tenants in a complex.

Construction of 150 new small lot houses are scheduled to begin construction about June 1st near Duck Cove on Bannerman.
This is quickly becoming a nightmare. Already hear sirens at all hours. Have to ask why our county commissioners would allow this? Remember at the ballot box.

This is ridiculous. Obviously who ever came up with this has never had to leave Killearn Lakes before 9 AM.

You don’t have to be a civil engineer to know that 200+ houses or an apartment/condo complex in this neighborhood is a terrible idea.

I have lived in Bradfordville most of my life. I remember when Thomasville Road was 2 lanes, and all we had was a Sing store, bait shop, and Moby Dicks seafood. Growth is good, I love the new restaurants and shopping areas. Environmental issues aside, growth must be supported by infrastructure. Already our commutes are much longer then they should be. Meridian is never going to be widened, but most nights we sit in traffic backed up for miles. Thomasville Road has bumper to bumper traffic coming into and out of town on most nights and mornings, can we add another lane each way? Probably not. Bannerman needs to be widened soon. Our schools are already at capacity. How are the people in this new development going to come and go? How will their kids learn? I think we need to take a step back and think about our current infrastructure problems before we start adding more fuel to the fire.

Take a closer look at the "Future Land Use Story Map" on tlcgis.org, compare to a topographic map, and the story becomes much clearer. This parcel is zoned Lake Protection for a reason -- it is part of the watershed area that drains downhill toward the entire chain of Summerbrooke lakes!
Moderate, well-planned growth is expected over time. But these strong-arm tactics fly in the face of good growth management, and do not serve the citizens of our city/county. They most certainly do not serve those who live in the area, who would be impacted by these proposed changes for many years to come.
For this reason, and the many others cited in the posts from fellow concerned citizens, the only conscientious decision is no.

Re-zoning to allow high-density housing in the area is irresponsible. The infrastructure does support it. It will also adversely affect school capacity, worsening traffic, and the environment.

We live down Bull Headley and have well water (as do many others). I am concerned about our water quality especially since Leon county has no plans to install water/sewer on the west side of Bull Headley.

This is a terrible plan! The roads, schools & lakes nearby cannot handle this type of re-zoning & irresponsible development.

Please don't approve the re-zoning, it will be a nightmare in so many ways.
Thanks

Deal with traffic issues before adding density.
Stop Bannerman Rezoning.
