Dear Supervisors-
We stand with the Green Valley Alliance, and sign on to the ‘Me Too!’ letter of concurrence urging you to vote no on the Dixon Ranch proposal for a General Plan amendment and rezone that would allow 605 residential parcels where today there are 4.
-Your approval of Dixon Ranch would fly in the face of County residents who have made it clear to you that they do not want the impacts of the increased density this project brings.
-Your approval would set a precedent, that it is ok to ignore voter approved Measure E.
-Your approval would say that you value the desire of a single developer more than the wishes of your many constituents.
The high density Dixon Ranch project is out of character with the surrounding rural area, it exacerbates unsafe conditions on Green Valley Rd, and it is a completely discretionary action made possible only by your ‘yes’ vote.
This letter will serve as a cover letter to a detailed list of the problems with the Dixon Ranch project, and why you need to vote no both legally, and to respect the wishes of residents who are your constituents countywide.
Respectfully,
Residents of El Dorado County

We are approaching one hundred signatures and we need to hit that mark before presenting this letter to the Board of Supervisors. Text three neighbors right now and tell them why the Dixon Ranch proposal threatens our community. Send this link to anyone who cares about protecting rural character in El Dorado County.

Please vote NO on Dixon Ranch. It is wrong to keep changing zoning and land use restrictions everytime a developer waves money around. Residents do not want this project and RESIDENTS are the ones who should have the greatest say in what their communities should look like.
The area is already negatively impacted by excess traffic. Also, remember the drought? It is discouraging to think our representatives are willing to sell out the existing communities for the personal $ gain of a few. Ethics...conflict of interest?
I do not agree with developing this area on Greenvalley.... Right now it is only a 2 lane road and with over 600 homes there could possibly be over 1,000 cars a day just from that housing area. Too many for a 2 lane road.
I live it because of the rural nature of the community. When I moved here, I could look at green fields. Now I look at brown roof tops. We have just gone through a drought. My well was affected. Where is the water coming from for these new residents?
When my family had the opportunity to move to the Bay Area for a much larger income, we agreed to be here on our 5 acres. The rural life was precious to us, way above money. Please vote "no" on Dixon Ranch so we can continue our chosen life.
I'm just fed up with this encroachment and unneeded and unwanted development by these developers who could care less about the impact their project would have on this area and our quality way of life, they don't give a Damn, for one reason because they don't live here and personal enrichment at the cost to others of their quality way of life and peacfull existence that they bought and paid for to enjoy, is of absolutely no mind or care to the developer or to those in county government who simply want a large income tax base generated from this development and without one thought or care of the massive impact that it without question will have on the desired rural way of life that we, those of us who live here, do not want to give to, nor should have to, our way of life to the developers or the county, we as citizens of El Dorado county must stand together and stop this needless and unwanted encrochment into our county and the rural and quiet life we moved here to enjoy!!

We moved here from the Bay Area 16 years ago to get away from congestion and to retire in a peaceful and rural community. Green Valley Road would have to be widened and traffic lights and who's going to pay for that? That many homes if needed could be built off 50 not here!
