The proposed housing development on Route 285 has been officially rejected by the planning authorities. Your consistent engagement forced a necessary review of the project and protected our current water infrastructure. We must remain attentive to future development proposals to ensure the long-term stability of our resources.
Eldorado and Lamy Water Supply Crisis
A proposed housing development on Rt 285 near the Eldorado - Lamy border is nearing final approval without any process of commentary from the Eldorado - Lamy community.
The project will burden the already over utilized, Eldorado Water and Eldorado Well Water Supplies. If this project is approved, we can anticipate declining water quality and water pressure.
The proposal plans to add up to 39 closely spaced “Modular Home” residences. Under even normal use, 39 Modular Homes will place an enormous burden on our limited water resources.
The addition of 39 prefabricated homes will strain our schools systems and prove disastrous for home values. The proposed project will use pre-fabricated, modular home structures which are not in keeping with established codes, quality or community covenants.
So far, those officials whose responsibility is to protect the community, have failed to act or even allow for the Eldorado - Lamy residents to voice their strong concerns.
We urge you to sign the petition below
Please join us at the open hearing to be held on
March 12th, 2013
Place: Santa Fe County Building; 102 Grant Ave., Santa Fe, NM
Time: 5PM
I have been reviewing the diverse range of concerns left in the comments section regarding our local water infrastructure. These accounts illustrate clearly that the current proposal remains out of step with the needs and standards of our community. We continue to press for an formal opportunity to present these grievances to the relevant planning officials.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly in recent days. This collective response demonstrates a clear resolve to protect our local water resources and neighborhood standards. We are now well positioned to ensure these concerns are addressed by the proper authorities.

39 homes on that tiny strip of land is insane. Traffic is already bad enough on 285 as it is without adding all these new drivers.

PREFAB HOMES? Who approved this?? This will ruin property values for everyone in the area. Greedy developers need to leave us alone.

Our water pressure is already low. This is a bad idea for the whole county.

Ridiculous. We came here for the quiet and the space. No one asked us about this at all.
