Comments
I'm writing as a resident of Meadow Creek in opposition to the R-4 designation of Buffalo Run because that
designation is inappropriate for that parcel of land. My objections are center around the issues of
transportation and roads because the bulk of the traffic for this high density neighborhood will be going
through Kurk which is not arterial. And Fowler is currently a county dirt road that will not handle the
capacity, particularly in winter when the road is regularly blown into drifts. This neighborhood has regularly
been criticizing this plan as inapproproriate for this location because of the obvious traffic pattern problems
that will ensue. In addition, there are no services adjacent to that land parcel in spite of the aim for R-4
dwellings to be close to jobs and services. There is no bus service to the area. In addition to these clear
problems is a problem that seems lost on the planning board and county commissioners -- this practice of
unimpeded growth is unsustainable in a mountain community reliant on snow melt for water. I've heard
some commissioners say we need housing because people want to move here. That's not a good example
of city planning, and it's really clear that locals can't afford the properties being built, and, with the
pandemic situation, construction materials are extremely costly, and since it's clear this developer just
wants to make as much money as possible, then all these costs are going to raise the prices on the actual
housing. I think it's really a terrible zoning choice for that piece of land because of the character of Fowler
and because it's just being plunked down between a county dirt road (however much it aspires to be
arterial -- which is highly unlikely to ever pass because MSU owns part of it) and a small neighborhood road.
Please change this zoning to zone 3-1.
