Thank you to those who were able to attend the latest Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on Thursday, December 19 to discuss the proposed Trillium Farm development.
The meeting kicked off with a review of the traffic study conducted by Pulte Homes, during which Pulte representatives and their engineer emphasized that while excessive traffic conditions currently exist on Purnell Road and particularly at Purnell and Winfield Road, those conditions will not be exacerbated by the addition of Trillium Farm. Essentially, they argue that the traffic generated by Trillium Farm is a drop in the bucket compared to the volume of cut through traffic that utilizes Purnell Road everyday.
After a brief question and answer session between the board and the applicant, the meeting was opened to comments from the public. The first public comment was made by Vicki Weyer, vice president of the West-Win Homeowners Association. As representative of more than 650 homeowners neighboring the proposed development, Ms. Weyer requested a continuance of the meeting so the association could have more time to review the documentation that had only recently been made available to them, including the traffic study, the transcript of the November 14 meeting and the exhibits referenced in the transcript.
This request for continuance was granted by Chairman Kartholl, and the next meeting date was later set for Thursday, January 30th at 6 pm.
Please note that Chairman Kartholl strictly enforced his decision to not allow those who have already spoken to address the board again, even if speaking on new evidence. If you did not speak at the November 14 or December 19 meeting, January 30 will be a great opportunity to make your voice heard.
Don’t wish to speak? No problem! There are two other ways you can support this effort:
First, attend the January 30th meeting. Your physical presence sends a powerful message to the board members.
Second, please send a letter to the board members and county commissioners. You can write your own or find a sample letter here:
