Objection to Pleasant Valley Preserve Development

The "Economic Tunnel Vision" of the Rome Board of Commissioners- whose motto is apparently "Growth at Any Cost"- is branching out, I see. Those who thought they were safe because they did NOT live in an in-town neighborhood are now feeling the burn of a city commission HEAVILY influenced by the commercial real estate industry..... and building out a new subdivision IS a commercial venture. The low regard for residents' quality-of-life, which the in-town neighborhoods have loooong felt, is now being experienced by more outlying city residents. Those who live in the in-town neighborhoods truly understand your concern for the extra traffic going down your little residential streets. We know you are thinking that there ought to be entrances/exits for this new subdivision from the main road instead of sending everybody down your streets. Those of us in Old East Rome feel your pain. (Just wait until some IDIOT tells you to, "Move if you don't like it. You buy the lots yourself if you don't want 1,018x2 additional cars on your street. You knew that vacant land was gonna get developed when you moved there." We need to stand together. We need to elect commissioners who realize that favoring commercial developers over the needs of residential citizens is going to backfire eventually when we do all move away from a city that won't balance needs fairly. Trust me; this fight gets really old (and... there is an awful lot of vacant land around you). The time to do this is now while the ULDC is being reworked and while an election is at hand. -Demand a stop to Mega Subdivisions without ample safe ingress and egress from the major roads. -Demand quality-of-life considerations for residents when the city is considering approval of new commercial ventures -including new subdivisions and tag-on subdivisions. -Talk to neighbors and develop a full list of concerns. -Attend a candidates forum and STOP voting for candidates whose basic interest is commercial real

Stop ruining this town and our communities all for greed! Make money somewhere else! Leave our already developed communities alone. Stop destroying our trees and forest. This Chulio Rd plan would cause far more harm than good.

Keep me posted on when and where you are going to meet. I can do the 25th.

There are so many areas like here in South Rome and west Rome that need development, jobs, businesses. Empty homes sitting everywhere needing bulldozed or fixed up. People move to rural areas to be in one. I'm so tired of seeing logging truck after logging truck. All over N Ga the mountains are being cut down. If we wanted to live in Marietta, Atlanta etc, we'd have stayed there. Fix up the many neighborhoods in town that need it.

I Agree with this petition in Rome Georgia 100%

My objections are based on the following: proposed density is not conducive to rural location, inadequate infrastructure, present road conditions will not safely handle increased traffic, added demands placed onSchool System, any subdivision of such size should have its own entrance/exits without encroachment of an existing established subdivision, this totally disrespects the property rights of the present property owners within the established subdivision and gives disproportionate rights to the landowner who benefits from the development as proposed. Further, I question wether there is sufficient economic growth here in Rome to support jobs for 1000 more families.

Don't bring suburbia to the country.

I too believe this is a bad idea. The water runoff alone will be terrible not to mention the traffic, pollution and congestion.

This would ruin the small country area of life for the people who live in the area as well as the multitude of wild life.

I already have less than stellar water pressure. Our roads are full of pot holes. This extra traffic will make our neighborhood unliveable.

Schools in the area are already over crowded. Pleasant Valley and Chilio are too small and narrow to support this many more homes. Too big of a housing project of probably cheap and ugly houses crammed together to junk up the prettier parts of our local hillsides.

The environmental impact alone would be devastating to the area and the traffic concerns with the added dangers would never end. Whose going to improve the already dangerous road conditions? The tax payers is who! We already pay to much!

I am very concerned about the environmental impact these housing and building plans will have on water run off and water problems. Also, the traffic concerns are real. Further, there will be increased traffic congestion and an increase in accidents. We have a lot of wild animals in this area so the wildlife will get displaced. We implore the builders to be responsible and conduct an environmental impact study about water run off. Finally, 1,000 homes on 1/4 acre lots is not in keeping with how the surrounding land is currently being used. It is unfortunate that the builder is trying to build so many Homes in such a small area. It would seem that half the homes or less would be more reasonable. Thank you.

Talking about ecological imbalance

This density of housing would negatively effect everything in our area.

I do not support this additional development in our area, Chulio Rd

1399 chulio road agrees with the no more traffic and keep our peaceful little community quiet and Small.

The development is too dense and should not have access to Hampton East or Hampton Preserve. Chulio Road cannot handle this much additional traffic.

A new development that size would seem to carry some serious implications for traveling to and from our homes on and around Chulio Rd . We don’t need it!

Infrastructure can not deal with the amount of traffic and there is no where to go with it. It is tough enough now on a busy morning.
