The feedback from our neighborhood has been heavy and revealing throughout this week. I am spending my evenings documenting these concerns so we can present a clear picture of the impact before the board. It is exhausting work but we have to keep pushing to protect our area.

Seeing this much momentum behind the cause gives me a much needed second wind. I am drained from the fight but your turnout proves we are not alone in this struggle.

As someone who canvased my neighborhood to support the original R-20 citizen initiative to protect water quality in Middle Sound, I am very supportive of the current zoning. Please do NOT rezone.
Middle Sound Look Rd between Market St. and the traffic circle cannot accommodate the traffic load mornings and evenings - especially since drivers mistake the inside left turn lane coming out of Middle Sound as a turning lane to get into Burger Kind -- several near misses there.
We do not support the rezoning due to existing wetlands on that tract of land (what will really happen to it) and the low water pressure that already exists at this end of Middle Sound Loop. The infrastructure is not in place to add R20 zoned homes much less R15 zoned homes.
R15 is not appropriate on Middle Sound, in the middle of R20 zoning. This is historically not a high density neighborhood, and the current zoning is at the root of its charm / desirability/ property valuation.
We fought hard to get the R-20 zoning years ago, and the pockets of higher density show how poorly that's been enforced. Why open the door to R-15? We've lost the Howe Creek Outstanding Resource Water designation due to overdevelopment. Where will it end? This area is environmentally fragile and needs protection. Ditto to all the other concerns voiced here.
This is by my granddaughter’s school and there’s too much congestion now!!
I am opposed to this rezoning request.

Residents of Middle Sound for almost 40 years. This rezoning proposal is a public safety issue (traffic of course) as well as a downgrading of our quality of life.
