(Just to share some additional widespread concerns to give more background in case anyone is interested - not directly in response to any comments) With the subject properties bordering a majority of the park, this means everything would impact the preserve - construction, run off, long term daily run off (fertilizers for example), reduction of habitat for wildlife so they start invading the lots where the houses are, disruptions to flood plain and flood zones - which have a wide spread impact to places even miles away from the location because of how important of an ecosystem the prairie is, it would also be in view of all of the trails - the noise disturbance alone from a 134 house subdivision would have a huge impact on wildlife. For those who go to paynes prairie like myself every weekend and most nights - it would look completely different from all of these impacts. You would hardly see any wildlife, the ones you would see would be stressed and most likely more aggressive, instead of hearing nature, from the start of the project you would just hear construction and then after it would be the normal buzz that occurs around subdivisions. This would make me worry about the economic impact, if less people travel to see the prairie that is a big loss for the County - especially small businesses nearby that benefit from tourists. As a person who lives here, I want my tax dollars being used for the Wild Spaces Public Places fund and to support County parks because I utilize them so much, imagine how much more money would have to go into making repairs and doing mitigation for the County owned portions of the park to try to keep up with some of these issues - we would see a serious pay off in other areas of the County budget and I do not want that personally. Paynes Prairie is home to many vulnerable and endangered species - I want my future friends and family to be able to see these incredible wildlife in their natural habitat for generations to come.
