The Board just voted to deny the rezoning request for the Rogers Farm property. I am relieved that our neighborhood charm and safety will be preserved for the families who live here. We still need to keep a close eye on future development plans for this land.

This petition is being sent to area residents that will be affected by a retirement community being proposed for the current Rogers Farm off of Del Rio Pike. This petition will be presented to city officials to show that several communities in Williamson County ask that the Franklin City Board of Mayor and Aldermen along with city planners deny the request of Del Webb to put a retirement community on the current Rogers Farm property off of Del Rio Pike. The communities represented in this petition are Whitehall Farms, Founders Pointe, Cottonwood, River Landing, Legends Ridge, Fieldstone Farms and private residents with homes on or around Del Rio Pike. The Del Webb neighborhood is expected to be a very high density low cost housing community with 800 homes proposed that will surround the Whitehall Farms Subdivision.We feel that this community is more suited for a current high density area with the infrastructure to support such a large development, including easy access to an interstate; not in this area with the unique landscape and charm that makes this part of Williamson County special. Currently the road system cannot support a development of this size. Dangerous road conditions already exist today. There are many reasons why this community is opposed but here are a few of the main concerns: • Increased congestion on an already dangerous roadway, including seven years of construction traffic that is expected with this property. Our current road system is a dangerous challenge for residents and we do not feel that the current infrastructure can support another development of this size • Del Rio is a popular route for bicycle clubs and runners and does not have a road shoulder creating a very high risk situation for both motorist and recreational users • Loss of home value to current residents because of the high density- low cost homes being proposed • Change in landscape for an area that currently has charm and a unique rural quality that makes this part of Williamson County special.
Please sign this petition to demonstrate your opposition to this development.

My family has lived on Del Rio Pike for years and I refuse to watch our roads crumble under the weight of this massive project. We are nearly at our goal so please send the petition link to your neighbors today. We need to show the city that we are united in protecting our home before this vote happens.

Seeing one hundred of my neighbors step up to protect our neighborhood from this massive development means the world to me. We are clearly worried about the safety and character of the place we call home.

This project is greed gone wild. Letting this development go forward would be the epitome of poor resource planning and land usage. The character of the area would be irreparably damaged and would show enormous disrespect to the land, agriculture, and history of the community. It must be stopped.
I travel Del Rio Pike to and from work everyday. It is a narrow road, always has a lot of traffic. It seems rediculous to even think of adding 800 homes to this area with all the traffic it would involve..
I am vehemently against this development. Franklin is already out of control with development and this needs to stop immediately, there is NO infrastructure for this type of development not to mention how much it would take away from the beautiful land that is there. I'm an avid cyclist and these roads are a sanctuary to me and hundreds of others. Say goodbye to this if this development moves forward.
As a resident of River Landing subdivision, I am vehemently opposed to this high density development in one of the most picturesque landscapes in Wiliiamson County.
We purchased land and build our home here because of the beautiful scenery and the lack of congestive developments. I do not want a Del Web community here. It will increase traffic on the roads, ruin the farm scape that we are accustomed to and generally destroy what is the beauty of this area. I have a right to want the area that I built in to stay the way it is and why I purchased here to to begin with. I am horrified by the massive development that is proposed and the amount of traffic that it will cause. This is not progress, it is ridiculous.

Del Rio is one of the few remaining beautiful spots in what once was a beautiful town. Overgrowth is everywhere. Please do no let this part of scenic Franklin be lost for yet another housing development!
