We the residents of Deerfield Plantation oppose the proposed rezoning of 21 +/- acres that originally contained the clubhouse (recently demolished) and the driving range. Current zoning allows single family homes. Our problem is the extremely poor condition of many streets that prohibit proper access to U.S. 17 Bypass and Business 17. Platt Blvd. from the site to U.S. 17 Business is a narrow 2-lane street with improper drainage at the entrance. Another 300 to 400 apartment dwelling units on the site will make ingress and egress very difficult for everyone living and visiting Deerfield.
If more housing development is going to be allowed within Deerfield by the County then a solution to the street problem must be a required pre-condition to any new rezoning for more development.
By signing this petition you are stating your opposition to the purposed rezoning to allow for high rise apartments and/or condominiums to an area that is currently zoned R14.5 (for custom single family homes on at least 1/3 acre.)

I have spent the last few days walking the length of Platt Boulevard and the sheer lack of drainage is even worse than I remembered. Our streets cannot handle the current traffic volume let alone hundreds of new units crashing into the intersection. I am currently compiling a list of these safety hazards to present to the planning office.

Seeing so many neighbors acknowledge the crumbling state of our roads proves that we all feel the same frustration when trying to leave our own driveways. This surge of momentum shows the county that they cannot ignore our safety concerns while they prioritize new development.

1601 Gibson Avenue Our roads are maintained through our POA fees. How is it fair to us to add the traffic that 350+ multi unit apartments/condos will cause? They have an ingress/egress on Gibson Ave and our once quiet street will become a major highway. Please leave the zoning as is!
We were told, after a long legal hassle, that it would all be zoned R3. The flooding/drainage issues and traffic increase on roads not designed to handle it are reason enough Not to rezone. Greed should not win over the wellbeing of the current, many long-term residents. It is not the right thing to do. Faye Stutz
We are AGAINST the current plans for more apartments to be built. This area should be used for better things for the community such as a park, pools or Market Common style shops to increase property values and make everyone's quality of life better in the community.
1784 Crooked Pine Drive, Myrtle Beach, SC. I oppose additional multi-family housing. Addressing the drainage issues we have in this neighborhood first. Addressing the access in and out over our undedicated roads that have not met the base requirements of a county road. Adamantly say NO!
No more development in Deerfield should be allowed to move forward until many serious issues are addressed. Certainly, I am against any apartments or condo's being proposed on the old clubhouse and driving range site. Resident for 32 years.

1916 Raccoon Ln. Putting that many people into one small area will cause too much traffic. It will turn our safe neighborhood into a dangerous one for our children and the children who move into the apartments. It would make Gibson Ave. and other entrances accessible to local through traffic. We cannot allow this to happen.
