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.
 
 Please 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.
 
 Provide more passive recreational facilities particularly walking and
 biking trails in Olney that inter-connect to the countywide trail
 system. NOTE August 2002, 74% of the 923 survey respondents asked
 for more trails.
 
 Ensure that future development in Olney makes sense in terms of size,
 scale and location.
 
 Keep Olney Nice,
