The city council voted against the rezoning proposal and our neighborhood stays as it is. Thank you for showing up at the hearings and ensuring our homes stay protected. Keep an eye on local planning boards so we can stop this if it comes back up later.

Protest of Rezoning Property near NE 10th Street and Windmill Farms Subdivision,73130
Final supporters
On October 1st, 2015, a Notice of Public Hearing was sent by the City of Midwest City regarding the development of the property directly behind Slim Drive and Sara Court in Windmill Farms Subdivision. This notice advises that a public hearing will occur on November 3rd at 7pm and another on November 24th at 7pm for the proposed redistricting of said property from a PUD (Planned Unit Development) to an R-6 and R2-F. This redistricting would allow for the development of Oakwood Landing, which would be comprised of 54 smaller single family homes that could likely decrease the value of homes in the Windmill Farms subdivision and surrounding areas. This would also allow for the development of 11 duplexes (22 units) that would likely be rental properties. In addition to the development of the land for smaller, cheaper housing and possible rental properties, crime rates tend to be higher in R-6 and R2-F districts than in PUD districts. Please join us in protesting this rezoning as to keep our subdivision a nice place to live and a safe place to raise our children by signing this petition. The image included is the proposed map of development. Community involvement is key and a strong presence can influence the city Council votes (which must meet or exceed 3/5 of the council.) The following meetings are scheduled:
November 3rd, 2015 at 7pm, City Council Chambers, 100 N. Midwest Blvd.
November 24th, at or after 7pm, City Council Chambers, 100 N. Midwest Blvd.

The city officials remain silent despite our growing list of concerns about the proposed density at Oakwood Landing. Go to the city council website and email your district representative today to demand they protect our property values. We will meet in the council chambers to show a unified front against this rezoning plan.

The momentum we have built proves the city cannot ignore our neighborhood concerns. Post this link to your Facebook page and text three neighbors today so we can continue to grow our presence before the next council hearing.

I did not move to this city just to see my home decrease in value due to a yet another developer looking to make a profit.
This will bring our property values down. It will also increase crime when they become rental property!
I've lived in this neighborhood for 10 years and would like the value of my home to continue going up, not down.
The main reason we built on Sara Court was we were told nobody would be able to build behind us!!! I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!! Leave My Tree's ALONE!!
This is a relatively new housing edition and many young people have invested their money in these homes with the thought of it being a secure place to live and a place that will hold it's property value.
Not ok with this at all!
Please do not rezone

I am against this plan to re-zone this area. It is to close to the local elementary, intermediate & middle schools for Nicoma Park. We do not need to increase the potential of crime near our schools.
