This plan is a nightmare for those who have already invested their time and money to find the right place to raise their children - please do not let this go through!

Traffic. Congestion, environment. Banner needs to be four lanes. Will the developer fund ant cost??? Not

Why would you allow apartments (higher density) deeper into Bannerman when apartments weren't permitted for the Bannerman Crossing developments - and you had multiple access points onto four-lane highways. This is illogical, completely out of place, and clearly not inline with the character of the neighborhoods or surrounding areas.

We should not just be worried about traffic on Bannerman, but also traffic increasing on Meridian Road, which can't be expanded because it's a canopy road. This proposal is short-sighted, and the politicians who are voting on this should think about the people who actually live in this area already. We don't support this! There is too much development in this area happening too quickly, without good civic planning. We don't need more housing developments (especially housing developments that aren't in line with the high-quality subdivisions in this area). We DEFINITELY don't need more retail spaces. For example, there are multiple sites that have been re-zoned for retail or commercial use but the stores have gone out of business and now sit empty. For just two examples, think of the retail development on Deerlake Road that's empty, or even the many stores in the Bannerman shopping center that have already left or closed (New Leaf, Giggles). Why are more new areas being re-zoned and built for retail/commercial use, when there's already too many existing structures that sit empty in this area? This proposal is wasteful, irresponsible, and short-sighted.

Concerned this may lead to apartments which, from history around town, lower the value of homes in the area. Not to mention crime increases.

Not only will Bannerman Road be congested, but traveling down Meridian will be a nightmare, and Meridian can't be expanded since it's a canopy road. It already takes 45 minutes to get downtown in the mornings. If this development occurs, it could take 1 hour or more to get to work! This will surely overcrowd the schools as well. We moved this far away for the schools and the peace and quiet, otherwise we would have bought a house closer to town.

I am not ok with rezoning the parcel of land on corner of Bill Headly and Bannerman. THis will make traffic alot worse and Bannerman Road cannot handle more traffic! Developers like Maddog Construction do not care about responsible growth.They just want to build real fast and get thier money and leave. This would not be good for Bannerman Road!

Our roads around this area are already overcrowded. This type of development is inconsistent with the surrounding area.

I am against any new development that will increase Bannerman road usage without enhancements to Bannerman road to handle the increased traffice expected from the new development. I believe we are at capacity on Bannerman Road and BannermanRoad/Thomasville Road intersection would have to be enhanced if additional development occurred on Bannerman Road

Our area cannot handle this type of development! Traffic is bad enough in the morning. Find somewhere else for your subdivision.

Please leave the zoning as it is. We are already dealing with major traffic issues as well as school enrollments at capacity.

Reckless to build without a road improvement plan to handle traffic and without a plan for the schools.

I do not support the rezoning. I hope that the County Commissioners do not approve as this would be a major burden to the existing infrastructure.

I implore the county commission to deny the change of zoning for this property, Bannerman road simply cannot handle all of the extra traffic. Bannerman road is already overstrained during rush hour traffic in the morning and evenings.

I would like to see the expansion slow down some in this area. It seems to be growing to fast, not all areas are thriving. I moved here to appreciate the larger lots, trees and quiet neighborhoods.
Thanks!
Please don't do this
