Good Afternoon,
I live in the Saddle Creek subdivision that backs up to the Hoffman Farm (Pittman Development - Amblewind) that is
being proposed and will be discussed on July 21st.
My family has had the luxury of backing up to that farm since our house was built 20 years ago. We have been afforded
the peace and tranquility that it has offered and the abundant wildlife that comes with the territory of a wide open farm
field and wooded areas which are home to coyotes and deer to name a few. "Hop Along Henry" - our 3 legged coyote
lives there and through the years, we have enjoyed watching him protect his pups. The geese have found refuge in a low
area that floods and is within view from our backyard. Occasionally, we are fortunate to see a bald eagle overhead -
majestic and proud. It has been amazing.
While we knew that eventually the field would be developed and progress would happen, we are glad there are going to
be homes there - we were just hoping for a lot less of them. As it is being proposed, the development is trying to cram
250+ properties into just 56 acres. Just doing the quick math it's no wonder why they are proposing so little green space
and no amenities for their residents.
A traffic study was done - with the result that it would not impact the area or our neighborhood. Problem? It was done
while everyone was on the mandatory stay at home order for COVID-19. Now that things are opening back up, I think
the results would be drastically different. Can a new study be ordered?
Is there anything we can do to stop this development from going forward as it is proposed?
Thank you for your time.
