We, the undersigned, do not support the Manor House planned residential development proposed between Mullen and 58th, bordered by Kagy.
Simply put, 82 acres of land is too large, and 620 units of single-family homes, duplexes, and apartments is too many. To look at one metric, area traffic is already at capacity during peak hours.
Furthermore, the clearing of trees and fields will damage our fragile storm-water systems, risking floods and property damage. The addition would also place undue strains on our water supply, which is currently served by a community provider. We are also concerned about the capacity of schools, the fire department and the police department to be able to serve the community with these significant increases to the population.
Nor should the proposed development be exempted from the federal protections for the Mazama pocket gopher, with current residents unfairly held to a higher standard.
We are dedicated to the continued responsible stewardship of our community’s resources.

The emails from the planning office remain dismissive but the sheer volume of our signatures makes it harder for them to ignore the reality of our infrastructure. I am exhausted by the constant meetings yet the risk to our water and schools keeps me focused on the fight ahead.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting uphill climb but seeing the numbers grow gives me enough resolve to keep pushing forward. It is clear that the developers underestimated how much this community cares about the land and our shared resources.

I sent a letter outlining my concern. The high density plan is a concern for quality of life for future residents, road-water-sewer infrastructure, multiple intersection safety due to increase of traffic, and zoning regulations.
We need to preserve the rural environment. Please preserve the habitat for the beautiful and precious bird life the area supports. Please do not pave paradise. Charlie Garrott
In addition to agreeing with all of these other comments, I did some research and found this to be a fragile aquifer recharge area that these houses will be directly sitting on.
Having lived in our current location in Lacey and witnessing growth impact in our area, I cannot support this proposed development. The impact on an already stressed infrastructure and already over-enrolled schools can only have a severe negative impact for any current and future residents.
I do not support this housing development. With my home being within 300 feet of construction, we will be impacted by noise/constructions and our home value will no doubt take a hit. This is a rural residential area with goats, horses and cows. The addition of 640 untils (including an apartment complex) does not suit this area.
We need to all connect and have a meeting to plan how we will respond if the rezoning is approved. I have written several emails citing zoning and links to the county documents to Vince McDowell and Maya Teeple about these and other concerns regarding the proposed plan. My phone number is 360-402-2696 Our home is on 58th. thank you--Shanti Kessler

620 units means a minimum of 1200 more automobiles coming and going on these already conjested arterials - Mullen Rd and Marvin Rd. Please think this through and pay attention to what is already in place; respecting current homeowners and wildlife. Don't let tax revenue be your guide.
