With the widening of the road this hahitai will be destroyed. <br />fn addition, I am very concerned about thn traffic this subdivision will generate and <br />ability for vehicles to safely access Nine Gaffes tram Jones Ferry and visa versa. A Iso, <br />I ann cxtxcmcly concerned about the future caristructiun otNinc Uatcs as a connector <br />road. if this should occur, what is now a quiet and beautiful, pastoral grave[ road. wit l <br />become a major cut through Car traffic wishing to gcC to Highway 54 or the northern part <br />of the county from 1 S-SOl . Il is my understaading that the Irvin property will be donated <br />to the Nature Conservancy which would not be compatible with a high traffic artery <br />cutting through it. Finally, i am cancemed ahaut my ability to access my home while the <br />road is being constructed and emergency vehicles'" ability to access my property at any <br />time. l do not work" regular nine to live hours so it is important to have this road open at <br />all times to accommodate my work schedule and for safety. <br />Twn weeps ago, I requested that the Planning staff send me the updated pertinent <br />infarmrativn abut this subdivision;.howevcr, Ihave not received it. Thanks you L'or your <br />attention, <br />Sincerely yours, <br />~1~Z~~ti~~C. <br />Lynn~IYrovin Cox <br />P . O; <br />May 4, 2UA0 <br />
