Dear Neighbors,
There is a plan to build a 192 unit apartment building that would connect to Ridge Creek Rd and/or Quail Ridge Rd and therefore to our Stone Bluff neighborhood. There are many reasons not to want to connect the apartment building road and their access to our neighborhood, and we are asking if you support or agree with this, to please sign our petition, to be presented to the city planners during their meetings reviewing the development proposal (was presented already at Metro LD&T meeting on 11.14.19). More info below.
Reasons to say NO to the proposal to connect the road:
1) There is already a second emergency road for access to the neighborhood (this is a rarely used road, but it exists and was added to the city's e911 map for emergencies)
2) One main entrance to the neighborhood prevents crime and promotes safety (children can play in the streets and the neighborhood watch can keep an eye out)
3) Less traffic means less noise and trash/littering (proposal for apt complex is saying there will be a dumpster 25 ft away from our neighborhood roads)
4) Property values (current and future) (people may not want to buy a house in a high traffic neighborbood and with a large apt complex nearby)
5) Environmental impact (developments like this will cut trees down and contribute to air and water pollution; along with disturbing animal habitats)
Actions to make your voice heard:
-Email the case manager: [email protected] and say you are against connecting Ridge Creek Rd. Also, email/call Madonna Flood at Metro Council
-Attend the next Metro review meeting (date TBD)
-Make your neighbors aware of the situation and ask them to email and also sign this petition. (Note on the petition: Each individual must sign his/her own name. Entries such as "Mr. & Mrs. Jones" would be counted as only one name. )
There are 174 households in our Stone Bluff/Quail Ridge neighborhood, let's get the word out to have everyone sign! This affects all of us and we need to make our voices heard!
Other contacts and info:
Dante St Germain (City planner for this proposed development): [email protected] (Reference case number: 19ZONE1029)
Madonna Flood (District 24 Councilwoman): [email protected]
Nathan Wright/Kent Gootee at Mindel Scott (Firm for the engineering/development of the site plans): [email protected] and also 502-485-1508

I have finalized the formal letter for the city planning department that outlines our concerns regarding the proposed road connection. My focus now is scheduling a direct sit-down with the assigned case manager to present our documentation of the existing emergency access route.

The increase in support has moved this proposal onto the internal agenda for the upcoming city planning review. I am currently drafting a formal letter for the case manager that outlines our specific traffic and safety concerns.

We purchased our home in this location due to the safety and privacy of the neighborhood. We would like for it to stay that way! No emergency access road is required through our subdivision!
Do not want the street opened up for thru traffic. The reason we built here 20+ years ago was for the seclusion.
Ridge Creek & StoneBluff will become the default thoroughfare between Watterson Trail and Hurstbourn Lane. Do NOT open Ridge Creek.
I live on Ridge Creek Rd, my boyfriend has an autistic child and I have an 8 year old. I fear opening up this road endangers their safety.
We are opposed to this housing complex being connected to our neighborhood roads. This will create more traffic and make our neighborhood less safe.
Please do not connect the road.
Please do not allow this connection!

I am against the connections at Ridge Creek Rd and Quail Ridge Rd. They would only increase both traffic and crime in our quiet neighborhood.
