I love on Hwy 86 aka Bessie Rd and all these new subdivisions are making getting out of my driveway a challenge. The infrastructure needs repairs. What about schools, Woodmont is already full. This is getting out of hand. Nothing wrong with growing Greenville, but enough is enough. Stop with the building in this area.
Evalynn supported: Stop DR Horton from building 286 houses on Owens Rd and Flatrock RdEvery day people make decisions on where to live and work based on proximity to public lands, which they see as reliable places for fun, comfort, and rest. People expect that these places will always be there for them. The city of Santa Fe has an obligation to protect our limited public space.
Kurt supported: Help Save Santa Fe Parks and Open Spaces From Developers ShovelsWhen I moved to California in 2010, I lived near these trees on Stuart street.
That place was my first introduction to California from Maine, and I chose it in part because of the feeling of the neighborhood. These trees are incredible sentinels and stewards of the space, their habitat and history.
Too often humans move quickly upon the surface of the Earth, and what is seen as progress in one era brings pain in another. Please reconsider removing this Redwood, and honor its impact beyond the present.
Emily supported: Don’t cut down 良心 Conscience the Redwood at 1521 Stuart St, Berkeley - Consos PropertiesThis tree is more than just a plant it’s a living monument to the history, beauty, and ecological health of our neighborhood. Cutting it down to make way for more apartments is not just unnecessary; it’s short-sighted and irresponsible. Trees like this one are irreplaceable; they provide shade, clean our air, shelter wildlife, and offer a sense of peace and identity to the community. In an era where environmental responsibility should be our top priority, destroying this tree undermines the values of sustainability and respect for nature.
We must ask ourselves: Are we willing to trade a piece of our neighborhood’s soul for temporary profit? Apartments can be built with innovative designs that preserve natural landmarks like this. Once this tree is gone, it’s gone forever. Let’s show that we are a community that values growth and preservation, that we have the creativity and care to build a future that respects the past. Save this tree for our health, for our planet, and for the generations to come!!. -Kimmorra
Kimmorra supported: Don’t cut down 良心 Conscience the Redwood at 1521 Stuart St, Berkeley - Consos PropertiesI’m concerned about excessive deforestation and water runoff issues that could result. Despite required tree buffers, developers are stripping land of mature trees and planting the cheapest tress they can find to meet tree buffers. In some cases, such as the Villas At Swift Creek (Otterdale and Woolridge), no tree buffers between the roads and the development are maintained. I’m also concerned about the impact this development will have on a vital source of drinking water for the citizens in tjis part of the county.
Richard supported: Ensure Smart, Sustainable, Solutions Driven Development Along Swift Creek ReservoirI am deeply concerned about the ongoing deforestation and the potential for excessive water runoff caused by current development practices. While tree buffers are required, developers are frequently clearing mature trees and replacing them with the cheapest, least sustainable options to meet these requirements.
In some instances, such as the Villas at Swift Creek (at Otterdale and Woolridge), no tree buffers have been maintained between the roads and the development, leaving the area vulnerable to environmental degradation.
Additionally, I am alarmed by the potential impact these developments may have on a critical source of drinking water for residents in this part of the county. Protecting our natural resources and ensuring sustainable development practices should be a priority to safeguard the well-being of our community and environment.
Brittney supported: Ensure Smart, Sustainable, Solutions Driven Development Along Swift Creek ReservoirI teach High School Environmental Science and I am very concerned about not only the aesthetic, but also the environmental impact of this new development on the reservoir. Great lengths were taken when Woodlake and Brandermill were built to ensure trees and surrounding understory remained mostly intact around each home. This proposal does not mimic the original look or care of the preservation of the natural environment around the water’s edge. The development of Watermill also did not preserve this and quickly became renowned “the eyesore of the reservoir.” Granted this was due to the aesthetic, but it is also clear that the wildlife has made its choice as to what it prefers. Development is inevitable, but smart development will allow nature to live symbiotically among the houses if taken into consideration. I ask the county to consider this in the zoning as well.
Julie supported: Ensure Smart, Sustainable, Solutions Driven Development Along Swift Creek ReservoirI’m concerned about excessive deforestation and water runoff issues that could be a significant factor with the current plan. Despite required tree buffers, developers are stripping land of mature trees and planting quick growing, not native trees to meet tree buffer requirements all over this portion of the county. In some cases, such as the Villas At Swift Creek (Otterdale and Woolridge), there have been no tree buffers added or preserved around the roads and the development. I’m also concerned about the impact this development will have on the local
wildlife and a vital source of drinking water for the citizens in this area and beyond.
Casey supported: Ensure Smart, Sustainable, Solutions Driven Development Along Swift Creek ReservoirThis will be a key issue for us going forward. We're not anti-development. We are pro smart development. The density that is rapidly being created in Manorhaven is going to be a big problem for all of us. We live on a Peninsula with only three roads in and out.
Andrew supported: Halt High-Density Projects on Manhasset Isle & Create a Plan for the Future of ManorhavenAs someone who grew up in Manhasset Isle in the 1970s, it is disheartening to see what has become of what was once a quaint neighborhood. Now, once one family houses are sold, developers turn them into two 2-family homes, creating monstrosities that no longer have yards, draw more on our resources such as water, and impact the traffic of our roads. Roads are hard to navigate now that so many cars are parked on either side. How is that safe for our children riding bikes, and our pedestrians taking walks? We only have one entry in and out of Manhasset aisle, and the traffic has become unbearable on the morning commute. There is definitely a reason why so many extra stop signs have been added over the last decade. Please do something else with our land that is beneficial to all and does not erode our resources, especially with our water and sewer system. I’m very concerned about the longevity of this once beautiful island. Please consider making a sustainable plan for Manhasset Isle. Thank you.
