Our land interest amounts to approximately 80 acres. We are located between the proposed Cottonwood Creek and Lakemont subdivisions. 1. This is prime farm ground. Some farms located here are century farms with both history and heritage. We purchased the land and worked the ground not for speculation, but for its quality of life and what it could afford our family in theraisingofourchildren. ltisdifficulttocalltheprostitutionofthisareas natural resources, scenic beauty, location to freeways and market places, "progress'. We love what we have here-and so do oulof-state and local developers hungry for trophy sections of land which displace hard-working natives who have a vested interest in preserving the heart and soul ofwhat makes the Treasure Valley a great place to live. We farmed the land working many times seven days a week for 14 and '15 hours a day because we loved the green pastures, grazing cattle, bales ofstacked hay at harvest, the smell of fresh cut alfalfa, a heron flying overhead, the mist that rises off of the creek in the early spring at sunrise, the quiet solitude, a walk through the trees interrupted only by the flight of wild geese or a frightened deer. Those things aren't measured in dollars and they aren't easily replaced. We owned and operated a dairy at our present location for 17 years. A year ago a tight labor market, due to the boom in construction, made it difficult for us to maintain a stable work force. Because of our aging facilities and the proposed development on three sides of our property, we decided to sell our milking herd. This was an emotional, difficult decision. My father, Evert van Beek, Nh- t Qanlomhar 'l0. )n 7vvy.v,l tvvl We are opposed to the development of land surrounding us and the construction/extension of Knot Lane for the following reasons: emigrated from Holland and has operated a dairy In ,American for more than 50 years. He is still in operation with my brother, John in western Ada County. Prior to owning his farm on Star Road, my father and his brother Guy, got started milking cows on the Smeed Ranch west of Caldwell renting from the Smeed Family Estate. Ralph Smeed donated a parcel of land to the Vallivue School District to assist in the construction of Thomas Jefferson Charter School where my children attend grade school and my wife has served as past PTA president. We hdve deep roots in the Treasure Valley. We have contributed to the local economy through commerce and provided jobs for the local work force. Even though we no longer operate a dairy, we still have a desire to live on Lincoln Road because of the quality of life it affords. As you consider the development of these parcels of land, we would ask you to evaluate whether or not developus have the same heafi and love for whatthis area represenfs as the existing land owners. 2. The proposed Lakemont and Cottonwood Creek Subdivisions have areas of land which are located in a flood plain. The site work and extensive excavation which would have to take place to make it house+eady would adversely impact the wildlife, cattle and farming operations and our quality of life, 3. ln the 'tTyears we operated a dairy at this location, we have had to comply with state and federal regulations goveming air quality, waste management, water quality and so forth. And yet developers for the Cottonwood Creek Subdivision filled in natural sloughs and disturbed wetlands on the proposed site for Cottonwood Creek. Were legal permits obtained to do this kind of work? lf not, this kind of blatant disregard for the law, the environment, and property owners north of the proposed development at Cottonwood Creek should make more than existing land owners a little nervous about whether or not these developers have the best interest of Canyon County and the City of Caldwell in mind. 4. This area is a part of ldaho history. Located at the bend on the east end of Lincoln Road is a small, gray headstone erected by the Canyon County historical society marking the final resting place of Walter G. Perry killed some 150 years ago by lndians. Walter Peny was a part of the Ward party whose story is retold at Ward Massacre Park. Although we are now in our mid 40's we remember learning about the Ward Massacre in ldaho history in 4t' grade. Several years ago we witnessed the centennial reenactment of pioneers on the Oregon Trail as they made their way down Lincoln Road which is not far from the original Oregon Trail. Should we allow these pieces of ldaho history to be paved over to make way for greedy developers? {rL I 5. llJe believe Planning and Zoning should monitor the pace of development as well as the quality of development. The recent housing boom has attracted numerous starter-home developers eager for profit bringing with it a rise in crime in the Treasure Valley. Putting a park down by the river will invite unwanted foot traffic as well as parties, drugs, drinking and an influx of cars- all foreign to existing land owners. The idea of a city park sounds appealing to an expanding population. However, we would invite you to explore the Sportsman Access off of Middleton Road where paintballers have desecrated the scenic beauty of the river with trash, barrels, scrap lumber and old plywood, empty paint ball cartridges and the like. lt is also serves as a dumping ground of sorts, collecting old freezers and mattresses. Existing land owners have agreed it is not a place where we feel our children can safely visit. As this valley mntinues to change and development looms on the horizon, we trust that thought is being given to the future of this valley's development of pristine areas like lands on the north and south of Lincoln Road. ln the event that Knot Lane is extended across 20126 and north to the Boise River, we desire to have the road stay on the property lines with an adequate buffer zone to protect our privacy and space. Again, we are not in favor or the proposed development nor are we in favor of locating Knot Lane west of 15-Mile Creek bisecting our properly and negatively impacting our ability to farm it or rent the ground for agricultural purposes. { rz,l Respectfully Submitted, Dale & Leslie van Beek Anne Marie.
