    This is an additional comment from us in support of Glaize Development Inc.’s request for a waiver of the inter-parcel connection required in section §165 202.04 (Streets: Inter-Parcel Connectors) of the Zoning Ordinance, specifically Waiver #03-25 for Raven Pointe Section 9 (the software would not let me add another comment to that agenda item so I am adding it here in hopes that it finds its way to the correct place on the agenda). We would like to note that the requirement to construct an inter-parcel connection between Underwood Lane and Taggart Drive was created in the 1990s when residential development was envisioned for the area across Millwood Pike from Inverlee Way and the Raven Pointe and Raven Oaks subdivisions. In 2021 the Board of Supervisors rezoned a large parcel of land from residential to commercial where One Logistics Place has been constructed, and a gas station/truck stop, and perhaps other commercial entities are being developed. This fundamentally changes the planning assumptions that were factored into the Master Development Plan in the 1990s in that instead of predominantly residential traffic in the area, there will now be large trucks entering and exiting the commercial parcel twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It is highly likely that commercial truck traffic, large and small, will utilize the cut-through from Senseny Road to Millwood pike via Underwood Lane and Taggart Lane to access and depart the commercial development. In addition to the safety concerns regarding children and families in the Paven Pointe Subdivision, there will be an increase in noise pollution at all hours of the day and night. We urge the Board of Supervisors to consider the changes that have taken place since the 1990s, and that they weigh the safety and environmental concerns expressed by many of the residents of the Raven Pointe Subdivision.

    I strongly oppose this permit proposal. It will not only damage the property value of homes within Canter Estates but risk the health of those living there as well.

    I am opposed to this cell tower proposal. This will be less than 1000 feet from houses within the Canter Estates housing development. The cell antennas will be at the same level as these houses, because the tower will be located in a valley. Microwave antennas will be used that will go through the neighborhood. Both of these have negative health effects. This is a neighborhood with a large population of children. Again, I oppose this proposal and ask that the committee take these concerns in to consideration.

    I am unable to attend this meeting, but I strongly oppose the building of this tower in this location. Primarily, I am concerned about the increased risk of cancer to those living close to it (as well as other negative health effects). We live incredibly close to this building site and have four young, developing children. Additionally, due to these negative health risks as well as being an eye sore, the tower will lower our property values. There have to be other locations not so close to residential properties that would be suitable for building this tower.

    I oppose the building of the cellular tower at the caterer property. The site is right on the other side of the trees from subdivision. The building of this tower will lower our home values, be unsightly, and a recent study has said that living in close proximity to these towers can cause an increased risk of cancer. I have four young children and do not want to increase their risk of cancer so the caterer can earn extra money from leasing their property to a cellular company. Please do not approve their request.
