APPEAL is TONIGHT. Please sign, comment, and share on Facebook
Emerald Meadows is a 77 Lot subdivision located between Helens Way and Hillcrest Rd off Vernonia and Pittsburg roads in St Helens Oregon.
PLEASE come voice your concerns at City Council Chambers, 265 Strand Street, St. Helens, TODAY! WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2017 at 6:00pm will be the appeal hearing at City Hall. THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE to plea to the City to reevaluate this project.
The only access to this development will be the stubbed accesses from Camden and Catarain off Helens Way. Your voice matters. Come to the meeting, sign this petition, share your concerns, share on Facebook. Multiple 2 story homes on Helens have spoke of water pressure issue concerns, along with minimal access, inadequate parking, lack of infrastructure improvements to support the traffic implications for a development of this size to name a few. Drainage is a major concern as well. There is a series of 4 culverts down Vernonia Rd that end up backing up at the bottom of the hill at intersection with Frantz.
Our community is growing rapidly. Which makes it all the more essential that subdivisions are carefully thought out and planned. The implications of poor planning will be the suffering for many in the neighborhoods directly affected, which in return will spill out into the community. Please advocate for sustainable developments with consideration given to traffic, parking, improvements, proper drainage (this development is on a hillside and access for safety and the enrichment of all our neighbors.

The feedback regarding infrastructure concerns has been consistent and enlightening. I am currently compiling these specific accounts to present to the city planning department during our next formal meeting.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly in recent hours. This surge of interest demonstrates that our community is deeply concerned about the future of our infrastructure and development plans.

77 homes with only two access points within another subdivision with only two access points to that means hundreds MORE cars and only two ways out. Serious safety concern if numerous cars left at the same time, not to mention all the current children who play soccer, basketball, skateboard in our side streets that our current neighbors watch out for but new ones won't. There is already a problem with lack of water pressure and adding 77 more homes will take a tremendous toll on the already sparse water supply and pressure.
Our property is on N. Vernonia Rd. & Columbia Blvd. at the 4 way stop. Another piece of land and house on Columbia Blvd maybe a 4th of a mile from the 4 way stop. There is a lot of traffic right now and we don't need extra. We are for growth with proper outlets. I am against this development . It would be an unsafe thing to do. Thank you
I live on Oakwood Dr between Darcy and Catarin. There is no room for more traffic in the area. We already get a lot of Helens Way traffic since we are a straighter street. Our water pressure is horrible and parking is all but non existant.
This subdivision is ushering in smaller homes with smaller set-backs to maximize profits for Weigant and his partners. For owners around this development increased traffic and damage to property values warrant this development to be downsized. I live next to several of Weigants properties and they are one step above an manufactured home in quality. Cheap homes to make minimal profit. Guarantee as in my neighborhood most of these homes will turn into rental properties. I'm a firm no.
What improvements are plans for both Vernonia Road and Pittsburgh road? I am concerned that traffic on these to roads will get much worse. I am not against growth, just poor planning.
Affordable housing is no excuse to sacrifice safety and livability for the new subdivision as well as the surounding neighborhoods. Too many houses in a small area. Very bad idea.
Please no more building. This is a bad idea. Pure greed!

Major concern: Lack of access into this development. Added traffic primarily onto Helen's way. Make entrance to Vernonia??? Finish road at end of Helens way that is blocked off??? Decrease in already low water pressure for existing neighbor hood??
