Stephen:
As a parent of a student at Bennett Elementary, I join with the other
parents to protest this proposed development. If the land were anywhere but
directly across the street from 500 kids and staff, the situation would be
totally different.
Do the math: seventeen small obviously -designated rental homes close to
campus. Assume four students per home, which it totally realistic. That's
a minimum of 68 students and cars and once the,parties and friends start
coming by, it's a blueprint for big problems. I've lived within three miles
of campus for twenty+ years and know the potential of a development like
this quite well. Too well. I moved earlier this year.
Loud music and parties are not just confined to evening hours. Speeding?
Its a given. You'll see window decor and bumper stickers with adult themes
related to alcohol, drugs, sex, and everything that DARE and parents have
tried to keep from schools. I know. I've lived it. And it's not
appropriate for an elementary school neighborhood.
The pasture with horses was perfect. The chickens and goats and geese on
Bennett's south side added to the lovely pastoral setting.
I hope reason wins out. Please let me know if I can be of further
assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
