We are opposing the proposed entry/exit road in Saddle Creek on 141st and Beaumont Blvd. Our house is in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed road. There are multiple reasons for why we do not need a road there as below.
When we bought the property in Saddle Creek we were not aware that the common grassy area that is used by children
will become a major entry/exit road in future.
Building a road there will impact property value which will decrease and with lesser green space, kids will end up
spending more time inside for safety reasons.
The volume of traffic from the high-density PUD (285 lost x 2 cars/lot) through beaument blvd will be a major safety
hazard for children and adults. This will become a key entry/exit for people living in Ambleside PUD commuting south.
Increased traffic will lead to more occurrence of property damage, as evidenced by a recent hit and run to a property
located on beaument blvd.
The existing mature tree line bordering Saddle Creek and the Ambleside PUD will be removed per the proposal to make
way for the road. Also by annexing Saddle Creek east pond will eliminate the remaining existing green cover and the
privacy buffer between Saddle Creek and Amble Side PUD.
When it rains the water from the west Saddle Creek Pond to the east Saddle Creek Pond overflows on the surface. If we
convert the green space to a paved road, this makes it harder for the water to get absorbed, leads to flooding and cost
to Saddle Creek residents. Besides, with all the new built up area in the new PUD and lack of ponds or green space in the
PUD will lead to more water runoffs into Saddle Creek ponds, increased cost for pond maintenance.
Thank you!
