We are now less than 100 people away from having 20,000 online signatures against the Rea Road Gillespie Property Rezoning.

The developer continues their threat of using "build by right" to destroy the trees and natural habitat of the last large untouched green space in South Charlotte inside 485.

They also want everyone to know that the eagles named Piper and Glen as well as their two young eaglets are not protected, because the property is outside of the federal protection area of 600 feet. 

The Eagles are of course symbolic of the developer's complete disregard for trees, nature, traffic, flooding, overcrowded schools and the quality of life we now enjoy in our neighborhoods of Piper Glen, Touchstone, Ivy Hall, White Oak, Challis Farms, Carson's Pond and many other nearby areas.

So many neighbors have supported this effort to stand up against mindless greed and density saturation that I'm still moved to tears. We may not win but doing nothing was never an option. 

Thanks for listening and signing.
