I sent the following email when this was ultimately denied by planning and zoning. I am still in
opposition of this development and do not feel it should even be considered by city council since
planning and zoning denied it. This should not be annexed into to the city nor should there be any
more house built out here. This area can't handle the growth.

Subject: Verbena Housing Development at Homedale and 10th and Developing Montana and 10th
I am writing with major concerns about this project. Our schools, roads, and emergency
responders can't keep up with this growth.
We need to stop approving and stop building housing developments. We can't keep
moving forward with the attitude that "we will figure it out as we go".
Trying to get in and out of both VMS and VHS is already a nightmare. A new school will open
in this area next year which will add more traffic. Allowing this development will add a
thousand more homes, which means closer to two thousand more vehicles will be on
these roads a day. This is extremely dangerous for our kids driving to and from school and
the rest of our community trying to get to work and appointments.
Our emergency responders are also suffering from this growth. I hope and pray that no one
in our community finds themselves without emergency care because there wasn't an
ambulance available.
Please take this into consideration when discussing this development and stop approving
more housing units.
Sincerely,
Camille Lane
