One of the foremost concerns pertains to the strain this development may place on our already overcrowded and underfunded Donlon Elementary school. The addiƟon of 57 condominiums could exacerbate the exisƟng issues, potenƟally compromising the quality of educaƟon for our children. It is essenƟal that the impact on local schools be thoroughly assessed and addressed before moving forward with the proposed project. Moreover, there is a growing worry that the construcƟon of this condominium complex will be a blight on our single‐ family neighborhood, adversely affecƟng the exisƟng character and charm that drew residents here in the ﬁrst place. This concern extends to the potenƟal decline in property values for exisƟng homeowners, as the proposed development does not align with the established character of our residenƟal neighborhood. Preserving the unique charm of our community should be a priority to maintain property values and overall resident saƟsfacƟon. The traffic issues in our neighborhood have already become a signiﬁcant problem, exacerbated by the recent development that began a few years ago. We have witnessed a substanƟal increase in traffic, with speeding becoming a common occurrence. Unfortunately, these concerns have not been adequately addressed by the city. Adding 57 more units to the proposed development will likely worsen traffic congesƟon and safety concerns in the area. I urge you to thoroughly assess and implement soluƟons to address the exisƟng traffic issues before approving any addiƟonal developments. I kindly request that the Planning Commission and City Council consider these concerns seriously and engage in a comprehensive evaluaƟon of the potenƟal consequences of the Hacienda Park Development on our community. It is imperaƟve to conduct a thorough environmental impact assessment, address the strain on our local school, and carefully consider the impact on property values and neighborhood character. I appreciate your aƩenƟon to these pressing maƩers and your dedicaƟon to the well‐being of our community. Please keep us informed of any public hearings or community forums related to this maƩer, as we are eager to parƟcipate in the decision‐making process. Thank you for your Ɵme and consideraƟon. Sincerely,
