C. RES – Comprehensive Plan Amendment #CPA2020-00008, Preserve at Long Branch (Formerly Mid-County Park and Estate Homes) – Coles Magisterial District – Connie Dalton, Planning
The Preserve at Long Branch is our neighborhood's largest green space, and to develop it would have a significant negative impact on our quality of life: more sprawl, more traffic, overloaded schools and services. Any development must be done in accordance with the 1998 Comprehensive Plan, which was created to preserve the character of the Rural Crescent, limiting parcel sizes to 10-acres or more. What makes this area special is the lack of sprawl...please vote "NO" so we can keep it that way!
A cluster of nice houses next to a big park the public can actually use seems at least as much in our interest as 10-acre lots to drive by. There should be uniform requirements: consider what's good or not about my development, "New Bristow Village," for instance. But if the school board can't fit in even these profitable taxpayers, a hard look at their bloated admin salaries and pet projects like Steinways, hydraulics and a pool is long overdue to get ALL our kids out of their gloomy trailers.
I am calling on the Prince William Board of Supervisors to carefully consider the parcels of land that Prince William cuts and to mandate that developers are required to plant a specific number of trees or vegetation whenever lots are clear cut for development. Trees are fundamental to our quality of life and protect both wild life and humans. In addition, our trees are what makes Prince William a desirable place to call home. I ask that you continue to protect our beautiful community.
