Gentlemen:
We are writing to react to the proposed development of
Oak/Cottonwood Farm since we can 't be at the meeting June
22nd . We did attend the neighborhood meeting on April 29,
and were very favorably impressed with the over-all
development plan . However , we do have several concerns that
center ❑n the proposed road south of Werner School .
One concern is the small lots proposed (about 7500 sq .
Ft . , as we recall ) which will be directly across Mail Creek
Lane from a lot of over 19, 000 sq . ft . -- which seems to us
a gross difference . When we asked why the lots were so
small , the developer said that the traffic there would make
them less desirable . It seems reasonable to suppose that
this traffic would also make the properties on Mail Creek
Lane less desirable .
School traffic would be augmented by commuter traffic
of Fossil Creek residents coming and going through
Cottonwood Farm and vice versa . This increased traffic
leads to another concern for safety of children in this
already congested area .
We hope you will look at the larger picture of traffic
flow in the area, including the new development to the south
-- it seems to us that a connection to Fossil Creek
Boulevard would be preferable .
Very truly yours,
Robert S . Soar
