Monday, October 29 - UPDATE - Don’t allow the development of Mergeron Court on Markham across from Brady Elementary

Please don’t this. This city is losing its green space by th second with new development while large stores are closing left and right leaving abandoned real estate that will probably never be filled again.....

I am a resident in the area an totally against the proposed housing project.

I

Please think of the children in the area.

Please do not allow this rezoning to happen.

I oppose this development. Less is more. We do not do you need any more housing in this area. There are so many places up for sale tons of apartments are available and we need to keep some green space in our neighborhoods.

I have video of the flooding from the last rain.

Drainage is terrible in this low lying area of Little Rock, in all directions! To allow this new development would increase the drainage problems for all homeowners in this area!

Enough is Enough! Green spaces are vital to all communities. This is completely unnecessary. Leave something for you grandchildren.

This development project will bring devastation and discord to a lovely area of town. I see no benefit to citizens or the city. NO. NO. NO.

Between being across from Brady school & the ever growing traffic on Markham this doesn't sound like a wise decision. The drainage issues should also be seriously considered.

I oppose developing one of the last and largest green spaces remaining in the mid-town area. This proposed development will create significant drainage issues and safety problems for Brady Elementary students.

Please do not let this development happen. The detrimental effects of this project far outweigh any positive impacts for our community at large. The lack of consideration for environmental repercussions alone warrant denying the proposal. The further negative effects it could cause for schools, businesses and surrounding communities in terms of traffic, accessibility and quality of life lend additional weight to reasons to deny.

Adding more traffic so close to the elementary school could potentially put these kids in danger. Green areas are so critical to our environment for a lot of reasons. Please don’t add another concrete subdivision . We need more trees not less.

This will be a disaster.

Please do not allow this rezoning to happen. The city has too many drainage issues as it is.

This development would be disastrous for the surrounding neighborhoods. The environmental impacts and the affect on home values alone should make this proposal a NO-GO.

We don't need to do anything to increase the traffic in that area and taking green space for asphalt is not good.

I am totally against this development, first the Brady school is across the street which will be dangerous for the children, the traffic is awful on Markham, there are the apartments that try to get on Markham it those trying to turn left to get to their apartment, car wash has the same problem as do the vet clinic, than we have the condo’s which turned into rentals they were going to be upper end but that didn’t happen, there are times when the traffic is backed up to the school and further back

Rodney Chandler was trying rezone property at 6400 west Markham from single home to six patio homes. The planning commission was sympathetic to this development, but Board of Directors voted 10 to 0 to stop that. Please ask for support neighborhood associations.
