Call to Action on new subdivision
Dear Concerned Citizens,
There is a 57 acre piece of land for sale off Lacy Holt Road below Carrollton subdivision. This land has a contingency sale pending. A developer has started to purchase process to put large homes (2400-2800sq ft) on 6000+ square foot lots, and bust through Wendy Drive to connect this large community. If they can rezone from current r-18 lots to much smaller r-7 lots, the sale will go through, and 200 homes will be build there. If you would like to voice your concerns about this new community they are putting in off Lacy Holt and Wendy Drive/Darrell Drive, please email the mayor and city council members below. This has to be done BEFORE the January 12 city council meeting. Please join us in requesting these changes.

Here are the details of the purposed subdivision:
CR 2005 Colonial Heights and S 2006 Colonial Heights: Conditional Rezoning of GPIN 8873512978, 8873625474 Tax Map# 175818/175819 to subdivide the approximately 57 acres of the subject property for up to 200 residential lots with average lot size of 6000 sq ft. The lots on the end of Wendy and/or Natalie Drive have cul-de-sacs which will need to be returned to straight street, or left alone, at the discretion of the property owners. Per planning board meeting 12/15/20 Darrell Drive will also be accessed for this proposed development.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our City Council Members to request for the conditional rezoning of GPIN 8873512978, 8873625474 Tax Map# 175818/175819 from R 18 to R 7/R 9 high density zoning to be denied. We also request that denial of access to the proposed Colonial Heights to subdivision Carrolton and Darrell Drive.

The amount of support we have gathered has been exhausting and humbling all at once. It is clear that this community sees the danger of this rezoning just as I do. We have a long road ahead but I am not backing down now.

As a homeowner on Rockwood Drive for over 25 years, I feel that this subdivision as proposed would be detrimental to the quiet and peaceful nature of this area. Therefore, I urge our City Council to deny the proposed rezoning.
I oppose this high-density plan and urge all Graham City Councilors to vote NO. Ditto all the other commenters' issues here — aesthetic, pragmatic, financial, safety and otherwise. Please spare our Carrollton-area neighbors what we went through in Durham, which prompted our move to Graham last year.
I, Mary McKissack, urge our City Council Members to request for the conditional rezoning of GPIN 8873512978, 8873625474 Tax Map# 175818/175819 from R 18 to R 7/R 9 high density zoning to be denied. I also request that denial of access to the proposed Colonial Heights to subdivision Carrolton and Darrell Drive.
We have been living in the Carrollton development for 13 years and chose this development because of the privacy. This neighborhood is walkable and I have a peace of mind with my children riding their bikes and playing outside. With the addition of this new development, I do not feel like this would be the safe neighborhood that I chose to raise my children in. I am afraid of the traffic and unsafe environment that this would cause. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
There are several new subdivisions in our area already built or in process of being built. Another 200 homes on small lots increases the density too much, along with traffic and stress on the schools. Please deny the re-zoning request.
We don't need no more Splinter houses up or apartments are old strip malls is trash is a land run the animals off they have nowhere to live now cuz people's stupidity.
Changing the size of the lots and the size of the homes will impact the value of our current homes. Please do not let this happen!

Cars already speed down Wendy Drive, causing concerns for the safety of the kids that live here. Opening this road up would only cause additional problems with speeding and safety.
