Okaloosa County BOCC — August 5, 2014 — Objection letter 1 — reading text

Ape il, 2074 1:90PM He 0495 BF, Robert and Amber Gillis 2640 Cricket Lane Crestview, FL 32536 April 10, 2014 Sherry Reed Okaloosa County Department of Growth Management 402 Brookmeade Dr Crestview, FL 32539 Dear Sherry Reed: Please accept this letter as an gbieetion to the proposed change of use of land relating to three adjacent properties whose parcel 1Ds are 29-4N-23-0000-0002-0000, 29-4N-23- D000-0016-0000 and 29-4M-23-0000-0016-0020, These properties are located at the intersection of Lake Silver Road and Currie Road in Crestview. it ig our understanding that, if approved, this use of land change would allow Westerra Development, Inc to build housing on 1/3 acre lois vs. the current 4 sere. The proposal was for 160 lots/homes to be exact. Of our many concerns, this is where we foresee the biggest issue. If zoning is changed to accommodate this proposal and 160 homes ate added to this area, the traffic on Lake Silver Road will be out of control, [f each homme owned at least 2 vehicles, that would put an additional 320 vehicles on an already increasingly congested Lake Silver Road. With the increase of traffic on Lake Silver Road comes an increase of twaffic at the intersection of Highway 85 and Lake Silver Road as well, This intersection has recently claimed 2 lives and has been the point of numerous other traffic accidents. The amount of traffic that this potential change could bring, id definitely a major concern. As property owners within the 300-foot radins of this potential sub-division, we are concerned about the decrease in our property value that this change could bring. We are concerned that adding yet another sub-division to the area will increase the amount of vacant, for sale homes. There are approximately 4 sub-divisions, all within a 1-2 mile radius. There are countless homes that are oucrantly vacant or are for sale within these sub-divisions, This does nat include Nature Lake of NW Florida, who has yet to start building on Lake Silver Road. Changing the use of land from Rural Residential to Low Density Residential would be detrimental to this area, We are asking that this proposal be rejected.
