The quiet community of Flatwoods is at risk of being upended due to proposed plans for rezoning and annexing 54 acres on Harper Road also referred to as the Shirley property.

The proposal involves transforming this peaceful area into a commercial zone with a hotel and/or water park. This is not only disruptive but also threatens to diminish our property values. Our quiet environment would be replaced by noise disturbances from increased traffic flow and visitors' activities. 

Furthermore, there is much concern that commercializing this land will be a threat to surrounding farms and cause pollution to Mill Creek.  

Our community is not against a water park; however, we are against the proposed location of this water park and/or hotel. Any development should align with preserving our unique character and compliment our community. We propose using the land for subdivisions which will maintain harmony with existing residential areas while promoting growth.

We call on the Northport City Council to reconsider the petition to rezone this land. Let us preserve Flatwoods' charm for future generations while ensuring sustainable growth that benefits all residents.

Please sign this petition if you stand with us in protecting Flatwoods from disruptive rezoning plans.
