The Conservancy officially denied the resort proposal this morning. Knowing my backyard and our neighborhood streets will remain protected brings me so much relief. I am deeply thankful for the neighbors who spoke up to stop this project.

The Lansdowne resort is proposing a high adventure ropes project to the Lansdowne Conservancy for approval. The resort has not provided reasonable public input or notice. A dozen residents were initially informed on this project only a week ago and the resort is presenting the project to the conservancy on Tues at 10am on 1/17/17. Another concern is the misinformation about the project and misleading statements by the resort about the location of the project and the support of the Lansdowne residents. The Lansdowne HOA board has been informed the resort presented information to the conservancy in a meeting in December 2016 that the resort and the impacted residents have reached a settlement and now support the project, however, no notification was provided by the resort to the residents until 1/4/17. The location of the project in the letter to residents and the conservancy said it would be located along Elizabeth Mills riverside park, however, plans obtained indicate it will be located in the buffer zone between the Greg Norman course and the single family homes on Indian Fields, Boyer Fields. The resort has also conveyed in a conversation their intent to use Squirrel Ridge as access to the County Parking lot for the riverside park for the publics use of this revenue generating facility for the resort. Use of county land and the neighbor hood streets are a zoning issue and the use of the buffer zone would require a variance with the Lansdowne Conservancy. If you are not able to attend the meeting next Tuesday, please sign this petition to indicate your opposition to the Lansdowne Resorts project.

I have been going door to door to clarify the misinformation the resort spread about our supposed support for this project. Many of you have shared your own stories about the quiet buffer zone where my children play and it is clear we are not alone in this fight.

Seeing this kind of traction confirms that my neighbors refuse to let the resort steamroll our community with these misleading plans. This momentum proves that the truth about the buffer zone and our quiet streets matters to the people who actually live here.

I live in Lansdowne and i have seen NO public information provided by the Resort in relation to this project. We urge the conservancy to delay any decision making until appropriate public 2-way communications are completed.
I think that this project has way too many unknowns but the worst of it is the traffic that will be brought down Squirrel Ridge road. It is a cul-de-sac that is already busy enough and doesn't need anymore fast driving traffic placed on it.
I live on one of the affected streets. I am also a member of the Golf Club at Lansdowne. And I strongly oppose this project, because of the unwanted traffic (vehicles as well as pedestrians) that would result in my neighborhood. I feel that my peace, safety and security would be threatened.
We live nearby and do not want a ropes course near the quiet golf course and public walking and bike trail. To turn the area into a commercial ropes course with the related noise, traffic and patrons, is not in line with the best use of the area for the community.
I am completely opposed to the Resort Adventure Project, both as a member of Lansdowne Golf Club and as a home owner in Lansdowne on the Potomac. The resort's lack of transparency in notifying residents and club members about details of the project as well as the overall clandestine nature of the project is offensive.
We are adamantly opposed to the Lansdowne Resort ropes course or adventure course or any other project along the golf courses or adjacent to any Lansdowne homeowner or H0A conservancy area. This will absolutely negatively impact homeowner property values and be unsightly for residence and golf club members. This will absolutely take away from the golf experience for members. There are enough golf members and social members already resigning/leaving the course because of numerous other negative reasons and this will only continue to cause golf and social membership to hemorrhage.
Please forward your complaints and opposition to the resort, the golf course membership, the hoa and the conservancy board.

This will cause congestion issues in the neighborhood. The area can not be adequately secured during non business hours posing significant risk to children.
