Hello,

I think good schools with un-crowded classes and
a good quality of life in a family-oriented community,
are the most important issues right now facing us.

Please do not rezone the 32-acre county owned
property. If it is not needed for educational
purposes, use it for housing consistent with the R200
zone and compatible with adjacent R200 neighborhoods.
Given the environmental and utility constraints on
this land, only two thirds of the land can be
developed. In order to reach the R200 yield of 64
single-family dwelling units and 14 MPDU's, the
housing will need to be significantly more compact
than the adjacent neighborhoods. Anything beyond
standard R200 density will create compatibility
problems.

Please limit RNC development with sewer to properties
that can connect to existing sewer lines. Do not
build new lines or new pumping / grinding stations.
This will help to protect sensitive environmental
resources in areas zoned RNC.

You need to provide similar protection for the natural
resources of the North West Branch of the Anacostia
where the Army Corps of Engineers has done so much to
restore the watershed downstream.

Extend the Upper Rock Creek Special Protection Area
(SPA) to include the entire North Branch of Upper Rock
Creek regardless of whether it is located in the Upper
Rock Creek or Olney planning area.

Ensure that future development in Olney makes sense in
terms of size, scale and location.

God Bless,
