Subject: concerning March 8, 2011 meeting
March 15, 2011
Dear Council Member(s),
My name is Jessica Stadnik and I stood before you March 8, 2011 in
regards to the rezoning issue on Psalmond Road. While most of the concerns were
resolved there are a few issues I would like to present now.
The first issue is that there was a petition signed by at least 30 people
within and surrounding our community (as you have in your records) and this was
brought up at the meeting and was said by the Woodruff Co. representative that
this should be null and void since the petition was dated March and they were
not involved until December 2010. Whether that is fact or not, that was not the
purpose of the petition. Having also been stated by the Woodruff Co.
representative that we are a community scared of change, and this is simply not
true. I would like to first and foremost have it be known that our community is
under the complete understanding and compliance that there will be a
development at some point regardless of the company. The foremost concern from
our community was to have continuing standard of at least ? acre to 1 acre
lots. I would like it known that this petition is not null and void because a
suitable builder was found, the petition stands because the concerns are still
relevant.
It was stated in the March 8 meeting that Mr. Buster Barber and Mrs. Andrea
Stadnik received letters outlining what the Woodruff Co. was willing to provide
to maintain satisfaction of privacy to the two most affected residents. We only
recently received these letters and the benefits described differentiate from
the proposal set before the council.
These issues coupled with the capacity raises safety concerns within the
community and a heightened awareness to these issues would be beneficial not
only to established residents but those eventually moving into the community as
well.
In conclusion, while protocol dictates that a speaker cannot raise concerns at
the second reading; both the Barber and Stadnik households will be available at
this reading to answer any further inquiries regarding this matter if so
requested by council.
Thank you for your time and consideration, while I do not want to seem a burden
or as an obstacle of progress. I felt it was/is my duty to protect my family
and neighbors way of life.
