Hello Clark
Thank you for making the LUA Acceptance available to the Barbee Mill community.
First, I would ask that you update the records of our property management company to Dawn Lower with VIS
Group. We are no longer with Morris Management / Cole Allen.
Second, I would like to request a meeting with you to discuss impacts to our community. We understand the project
however we believe there are collateral impacts that are not properly addressed. Specifically, we are concerned about
increased foot traffic along the May Creek Trail system and into the Barbee Mill community. Per our platt record,
Barbee Mill Community Organization (BMCO) owns this property (within Barbee Mill) and is responsible for its
maintenance, including the May Creek trail. This property is designated Native Growth Protection Area (NGPA) and
departures off the trail is considered trespassing and a violation of the NGPA. To date we have had numerous incidents
of people going off trail, and even picknicing on the these grounds. Homeowners have reported these events to City
Police with marginal success.
My reason for contacting you is that I believe we have a uniques situation that will significantly degrade with this new
project. Our community would be most interested in discussing solutions that will protect the NGPA areas and offer
security to homeowners as the trail passes adjacent to many of our homeowners. Solutions will likely involve a
combination of City action as well as developer.
Please let me know your availability to meet with our community for a discussion.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Regards
Geary Long
BMCO President
