I oppose this proposal as it negatively affects an historic site. It also benefits very few residents while negatively impacting many neighborhoods.
If the city believes it is their responsibilty to provide space for people who wish to be buried, then they should look at other property sized appropriately enough to handle an even larger set so that neighboring residents aren't negatively impacted.
I view the Pioneer Cemetery as a historical city park. I don't believe it should be expanded. Historic sites are meant to be maintained in their original design.
The city shouldn't be involved in any attempt at a revenue based business. More grave sites will increase the cost of long-term maintenance. What makes it quaint is the natural setting. By destroying the natural setting you ruining the very reason why so many who were buried there chose it to begin with.
We love the rural feel of our neighborhood. The wooded area in question needs to remain. Spend funds thinking out of the box for a new solution rather than same old.
AGAINST the expansion of the cemetery!
Moved into Lukewood Dr and against the expansion of the cemetery (part of the reason is that there is no parking for the current visitors to the cemetery, the other is how the expansion will impact the look of Lukewood)

We moved in on Lukewood Drive across from the cemetery. Cars park in front of our house due to the lack of parking for cemetery access. I am against the expansion of the cemetery due to the lack of parking, removal of trees and barriers that block my view of the cemetery from my front yard. My fear is that the expansion of this cemetery will turn it from a quaint, historical landmark into an eyesore. Thank you.
