There are plenty of other places in Chesterfield where this could exist, it does not need to be built at 25 and Bates. The environmental impact alone could be horrific. Most homes in this area rely on well water and a car lot could contaminate all the surrounding area groundwater. This will be catastrophic for anyone who invested in property and land in the area.
Anne supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityWe have lived in the area for more than 10 years. We moved out here to enjoy the solitude and nature. Development is rampant and deer and other wildlife have been pushed away in order to survive. I used to sit on my porch and see a couple cars in an hour, but that has changed dramatically to a huge increase in traffic already, with every small piece of acreage being developed. I cannot imagine the negative impact this will have on the environment and the ecosystem.
Susie supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityThis is a terrible move, and will decrease property values and increase nuisances in the area for So Many Residents in Chesterfield and beyond (traffic, pollution, eyesores). I live in New Haven and cringe at what this will do to the 26 Mile corridor as the I94 exit there will surely be a thoroughfare of vehicles headed to this hub.
It's just about impossible to undo this once the cat's out of the bag - it should be stopped before it's too late! The vision for Chesterfield could be So Much More!
Daniel supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityAs a resident of chesterfield township for nearly 5 years now and the place I purchased my first home; the neighbors, quiet roads, wildlife and nature in this hidden northeast corner of the township have made it an exceptional place to live. It makes me sick to think about all the hard work I've put into fixing my 1800's farmhouse over the last few years just to see a junkyard get built right behind my house. In many ways ruining the lifestyle myself and all of us residents in this area worked so hard to achieve. Developing this last large acreage of chesterfield into an auto salvage yard will make it worse to live in than the city I left when i moved here. Not only is this yard proposed to be near where I live and enjoy time outdoors with friends and family- it is quite literally in my backyard. This would greatly disturb the peacefulness this area still has to offer with more man-made structures, artificial lighting, noise pollution, soil contamination, vehicle fluids from crashed and wrecked cars like they mentioned they will be storing, bio-hazard materials from fatal accidents, and lithium waste concerns. One of the greatest concerns is water contamination. My property and all of the neighbors in this area have wells that we use to cook, clean, and drink every day. It would only be a matter of time before we start seeing the waste this junkyard will be leaking in the ground inside of our own homes. Not to mention that this site is on one of the highest areas of elevation in the township and will deposit contimanents down stream into all of Chesterfield. The Crandall drain runs directly through this proposed site and empties into Lake St. Clair.
One can argue that this area is destined to be developed as industrial, but an obstruction like this does not belong or fit in with the surrounding development. Bates road and 25 mile are unpaved roadways with single family homes, farmland and woods and should be kept that way- this last remaining rural area stretches from 26 mile to 24, and from Bates road to fairchild. This land should be limited to single family multi-acre lots, parks,agriculture, etc.- not a junkyard. If we develop this, we're destroying and choosing to pollute one of the last 100 plus acres of woods/farmland and wildlife that chesterfield has to offer and its surrounding areas. I urge you to listen to the residents of chesterfield who live, work, relax and raise their families here. WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS
Trevor supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityThese are not just "parks." They're homes to local economies, biodiversity hotspots, ecosystems that include and exclude humans. The natural world should remain as such - natural.
Kiva supported: Stop the Great Outdoors Initiative: Save Florida's State Parks from Harmful DevelopmentsGreedy billionaire investor companies are coming into Florida, wiping out Florida lands, and developing “ luxury” apartment and housing communities. Florida is quite literally becoming New Jersey/New York and many, many Floridians are moving out of the state because the cost of living has skyrocketed in recent years due to overdevelopment. As someone who’s lived here all his life, it’s devastating to see how Florida is insanely overpopulated at this point and infrastructure does not support how many people live here. Desantis will continue to allow investor companies to come in and make their money at the cost of the every day person. We need a governor who actually cares about Floridians and stops the development and wiping out of undeveloped land
