Re: Wind Trail Townhomes Project
Dear Mr. Shepard:
am writing to you regarding the proposed project known as Wind
Trail Townhomes. I would like to voice my concern over this project. I believe
that the increased traffic generated by this proposal that will pour onto Shields,
especially during the rush hours, is too great a burden to bear for those of us who
live in the neighborhood.
Traffic is already a problem on Shields. This problem can only be
enhanced by Wind Trail project, particularly in light of the proposed Spring Creek
Village project just north of the Wind Trail project. Presently, there are four (4)
traffic lights on Shields between Drake and Prospect Roads. If Wind Trail project
were to proceed, a fifth traffic light will be required at Hill Pond Road to
accommodate the increased traffic. It is already a hassle entering onto south
Shields from Shire Court. The proposed increase of residents east of Shields will
only exacerbate this problem.
I respectfully request that you reconsider granting the go-ahead on
this project. In the alternative, I beg you to re -think the traffic plan for Shields
between Drake and Prospect. Don't let Shields Street become a second College .
Avenue!

Dear Member:
This letter is to bring your attention to the upcoming
hearing on Nov. 15, 1993. This hearing concerns the proposed
projects commonly known as Windtr•ail on Spring Creek PUD -
Overall Development Plan, #66-93A and Windtrail Townhomes PUD
— Preliminary, #66-93.
Our neighborhood, which is adjacent to this planned
development, has been assured by several city staff members
that the city is negotiating the purchase of 15 to 16 acres
of this area for open space aquisition.
In light of the above P&Z hearing, our neighborhood finds
itself confused and concerned. There seem to be multiple
proposals going on, and not any corresponding neighborhood
informational meetings.
We request that the members of the P&Z board establish the
present status of the proposed natural area aquisition on
Spring Creek in the course of this upcoming hearing.
Thanycyu,
Fini Thomas
