PRESERVE RURAL EASTERN CHATHAM COUNTY (PRECC)

The proposed land use plan makes little sense with respect to preserving green space. Preserving green space is NOT defined by clear cutting and replacing with impervious surfaces, especially without regard to impact to local waterways.

We have no representation on the land use around us.

I have already suffered property value loss from a relatively small 2 rooftops/acre development upstream from our home due to a very high increase in water volume and velocity of flow from the Cary-approved storm drain collection and disposal system at the Destin development. With the almost total elimination of permeable surface area and the clearing of foliage and root mat, rainfall is collected from a large area and very quickly delivered to nearby streams at a much increased flow rate which creates an effect similar to a flash flood instead of the slow diffusion we had for years before this development existed. The sudden and dramatic increase in development in this area at any density greater than 5 rooftops/acre will inevitably result in exponential erosion, silting and detrimental runoff that ultimately feeds into Jordan Lake (the water reservoir for Cary and other areas of the Triangle).

Please keep the large neighborhoods away from our land.

Very concerned about further Cary development in eastern Chatham county. Future dev should stay consistent with existing very low density.

Please add me to this petition.

Stop Cary!

We need to preserve the beauty and natural integrity of this area. If we stand by passively, developers will destroy it with high density plans which are likely to completely disregard the environment and long term impacts.

We need a smart, meaningful land use plan. Not one that gives way to a repeating pattern of land sale, clear cut, annexation, density increase (even above plan), grade it flat and disregard for runoff into existing neighborhoods and the watershed.

My primary concern is to maintain very low and low density in eastern Chatham County.

I support this effort to preserve rural Eastern Chatham county. Several large tracts of farm land have already been purchased by developers who have also inquired about more than doubling the housing density than the current joint land use agreement allows for (which is an average of 2 houses per acre). Using the current density times the number of acres either sold or up for sale would yield approximately 1000 additional homes and more land is becoming available. This also assumes single family homes vs townhouses. There are no Chatham county schools east of Jordan Lake, we only have 2 lane country roads around the area, and Wake County EMS must serve our neighborhood since Chatham does not have enough equipment to serve our area. So these concerns are not for the distant future, but are a growing concern now.

Unfortunately we’ll be out of town for the meeting but appreciate the efforts by all involved to have a transparent and meaningful review process.

Concerned about storm water runoff (peak flow changes), traffic, loss of vegetation and trees. Would like to see new developments incorporate buffers to ease transition to current neighborhoods, retain more green space / trees, and consider Triassic soils for water catch ponds.

I am very supportive of assuring citizen involvement with the land development process. I live in Wendy Hill.

I am very concerned that the 2022 review will not include voices and concerns from current Chatham County residents.
