The proposal for the housing development has been officially withdrawn. This outcome reflects the commitment of those who value the quiet character of our home. We should remain attentive to future zoning discussions to ensure our rural landscape remains protected.

As a resident of Blythewood for 32 years there are so many things that I have come to love about the area! The rural location, the quiet back roads and the small town are just a few to name. Recently we have been faced with the possibility where all of the things we love could change. A housing development with over 500 homes could be the future of our quiet serene area if we do not speak out. I ask every resident of Blythewood to please take the time to sign my online petition to keep our area rural!

We bought our home in Blythewood for rural, quiet living. If I wanted chaos and crime we would have purchased our "forever" home somewhere else. My husband is in the military, and we really would like to retire in the home we own in Blythewood. These homes will make us want to move.
While I welcome new neighbors, I don't think having this many in one concentrated area like this is a good idea. This neighborhood development, as proposed right now, is not a good fit in the current rural environment. There's a reason this area is called BlytheWOOD!
Morning traffic on Langford Road is already bad. The flooding from the storm should prove that this area cannot handle additional deforestation and additional homes being built.
The infrastructure in Blythewood just isn't adequate. They want to add 500 houses. Two cars per household is the US average. That would be 1,000 more cars and no plans for improving or widening any roads yet. Don't do it.
Is the county's intent to intensely develop every acre? Smart growth would keep dense development in urban areas and maintain the integrity of rural areas with large multi-acre lots.
The type of community that Drepac is proposing does not fit the landscape of the area. Drepac is basically forcing a change that is not welcomed by most of the current landowners in this area.
We are TOTALLY against this large Heins Road development.

When I built my home in 1991, I could leave my home and drive down Hard Scrabble Rd. and maybe see a dozen vehicles on the road. Now I have to deal with the congestion of hundreds of vehicles. We don't need another subdivision in Blythewood.Keep Blythewood Rural!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
