I am opposed to yet another condo/apartment building adding more people and more traffic. We need more green space.

Traffic access in this area is already challenging. Difficult to access eastbound Hwy 55 and no Hwy 55 access from the north side of Glenwood. Will changes to the traffic pattern be made?

I am concerned as more young families move into this area that children are at risk. Country Club is already a speedway being a long straight and very dark road. The police also use it to catch up to and cut off speeders on 55 at night. I lost a pet to a speeding car that did not stop, imagine that was a child. I also do not think a 6 story building is appropriate for the area, no other building close is that high and it will be a blight on our skyline much like that monstrosity of a storage unit across Douglas. Keep everything 2 stories high at most.

This would drastically change our peaceful neighborhood. A townhome development would be much preferred. To add that many vehicles to Country Club is not a good thing.

It is an ill-conceived plan to put a large complex right by Highway 55 and Douglas Drive. The congestion would be a huge problem.

I live on Country Club Drive. There is enough traffic, we don't need any more!

Until the Country Club begins acting like a member of the community, as opposed to an elitist enclave, I, as a resident of Golden Valley, and neighbor of the property, am inclined to voice opposition to any further development of the property. In the five years I have lived on Varner Circle, I have not once been approached by the Club or any of its members to join or even view its facilities. All I know of the Club is the sign at its entrance which tells me not to trespass and the loud events that can regularly be heard after 10pm from my back porch. Furthermore, as I live 250 feet from the Club property, I would like to know why I wasn’t informed by either the city or Club of them parceling off their property both in the location in question and in the northwest area of the property.
