Dripping Springs Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Agenda — Tuesday, June 27, 2017
Westwood Subdivision
Today, when I was biking on Sportsplex past the property next to the Hanks Ballfield, I noticed a sign saying that 608 (I think that was the #) lots would be available for what I suspect to be single family homes. My wife and I walk by the property seven days a week and never noticed the new sign posting.
My concern relates to a safety issue.
As we know, the firehouse and EMS are located on Sportsplex as is the Library and especially the D.S. High School. Will the addition of perhaps 1000 more vehicles on Sportsplex create a hazard for First Responders? Or is another exit being planned for the development?
To compound the issue, Walnut Springs Elementary is currently operating. What will happen when all the construction trucks etc. begin work on the Development? Will Sportsplex be made even worse for wear or will the Developer be paying for upkeep of the road?
I seldom get involved but the build seems to add traffic and other concerns to an already crowded area.
PS: We own a garden home at the Retreat, but this development will only have 70 units–NOT 608!
PPS: How many exits will be available to the residents of the proposed development? Thank you for addressing concerns that will impact many, many DS residents.
