unit development, my concerns our deep with some of these <br />proposed developments. We’re talking about hundreds, and <br />hundreds of acres producing thousands of homes. We’re talking <br />about increasing the number of homes that our city infrastructure <br />needs to support by approximately 20-25%. I believe with the <br />pending litigation it would be irresponsible to risk our current <br />resident’s way of life to blindly develop just to develop with <br />knowledge we may reach capacity. I’m hoping there is a solution, <br />but depending on how this lawsuit turns out, we may need to do <br />a water study, comp plan amendments, etc. <br />Development is expensive. A developer can be 10’s of <br />thousands of dollars invested in a project just to find out if it can <br />move forward or not. I would hate to see some of these <br />developments come forward, invest a ton of money into it, and <br />find out we can’t support the homes in the development. Would <br />there need to be any comp changes, etc. that make a <br />development once thought to work, no longer meet the economic <br />expectations of the developer? <br />This is why I believe we should put a moratorium on residential <br />development until we’ve had an opportunity to see what our <br />future capacity of water is, and what our currently stressed <br />infrastructure can sustain. <br />Thank you, <br />Michael S.
