This development would be completely irresponsible! I have lived in the east mountains for almost 50 years! I have watched development and as it developed more and more residents of our community have been affected, having to drill deeper and deeper for water, which many people cannot afford. Not to mention the supply is going to run out anyway! Our community does not have the resources for anymore growth!
Francisco supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalThe water situation in the East Mountains is already tenuous the last thing we need is a mega development. Not to mention that most of us moved out here to escape the crowd of the city, we don't need the crowd brought to us.
Shannon supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalWe moved to Edgewood NM for our retirement. We love the rural /ranchy feel of the community and do not wish for that to be destroyed. Water is also a huge issue here and the impact this proposed delevopement would have on the area is just horrible.
Sandi supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalThis subdivision is a bad idea for several reasons. 1. The infrastructure of the east mountains, such as roads and schools could not support the traffic issues this would cause. 2. The water needed to support this subdivision would not be available and would cause shortages for everyone currently living there. 3. The reason many people, including myself, move to the east mountains is to get away from crowds and having this many people would cause overcrowding. 4. There is absolutely no need for additional golf courses. Haveing one in pakko is already too many. I play golf and have never played pakko and I never intend to.
Baca supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalWells are going dry and we are already over populated in the east mountains. The last thing we need is another housing development with golf courses, swimming pools, and manicured lawns. Why can’t we let this land stay as it is and support the wildlife that lives there?
Joseph supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalI have lived in the East Miuntauns for 30 years. Wells are going dry and a development with 4,000 homes would negatively impact our peaceful mountain community. There is not enough water to support the development, so it should not be approved. I hope and pray our regulators and county officials do not approve this development.
Amber supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalWe live in the East Mountains and we are very concerned with several things related to this project:
1. Water: The amount of water that the Campbell Ranch project will use (with the possibility of 4000 homes and two golf courses) will strain an already overtaxed aquifer system in the area. Just ask anyone that lives in San Pedro Creek: It is my understanding that their wells have dropped about 30 feet due to drought conditions that have gripped this area for years. Just think what a development this big will do to the available water in the area once it is up and running! Additionally, when the water runs out down the road, the developers will have gotten their money and will be long gone. And sadly, the residents here will be left holding the bag because of the developer's short sightedness and greed.
2. Traffic: I don't want to see our rural community overrun with the additional traffic on NM14 and the surrounding area roads. If this development is allowed to be built, I don't think it will be very long before we see another Walmart and Home Depot spring up with additional strip malls and perhaps a school or two. Furthermore, along with the increased traffic there will eventually be a need to widen the expanse of NM 14 to two or three lanes in each direction. Imagine the traffic nightmare waiting for all of us if Campbell Ranch is built and then they decide to widen NM 14. After a project that big, at the very least NM 14 will have to be resurfaced anyway from the wear and tear from all the construction vehicles.
3. We moved to the East Mountains to get away from the city and the last thing we want to see is the East Mountains turning into another subdivision.
Brent supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalThis isn’t new. Campbell Ranch has been trying this for about 30 years. They are always defeated in court. Their wording may change with each application, but what doesn’t change is : they can’t manufacture MORE WATER. Or infrastructure.
When all these homes dry up all the water and are worthless, are the developers going to be around then?
As our county commissioners are well aware, there is only a one way egress and ingress into this area. In the case of an emergency —like a wildfire—there would be difficulty moving that many people and emergency equipment into and out of the area. Remember Paradise, California? A fast moving wildfire destroyed 95% of the town. The one way ingress and egress made it impossible to leave. People were stuck on the road. Many cars were destroyed and people died when the fire caught up to the cars on the road. There was no way to get out. Some people fled on foot. It was winter. This could be us.
Our power sources are also seriously overtaxed. With just the small amount of development, we have many more outages than in the past. And, after our last election, we should not count on any support from the federal government for any upgrades. I bet the developers won’t pay anything, either.
The developers need to stop trying to wear us all down with their never ending attempts at ruining our East Mountain neighborhoods.
Sandi supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalI am 46 years old. I grew up in Sandia Knolls and have now lived in Cedar Crest for over 20 years. I have watched this mountain community grow. We are already using up our resources. It would be absolutely devastating to this community for such development as Campbell Ranch to be built. Not only will there not be enough resources to maintain Campbell Ranch but it will take from all of us who have made this mountain our home for so long.
Raina supported: Edgewood NM - Campbell Ranch Development ProposalI think to let this development happen would be irresponcible knowing the negative outcome, such as water shortage for all the residents that have lived in the area there whole life. Sometimes more is not always better, especially when knowing we dont have the resources, and this could majorly impact many families livelyhood.
