Neighborhood Concerns RE: C14-2021-0117 (1017 W. SLAUGHTER LANE) OPPOSING REQUESTED REZONING TO GR-MU-V This is where we live… First issue: Increased traffic on Slaughter Lane threatens people’s safety! Chisholm Lane is a dead- end road with egress only onto Slaughter Lane. THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE INTERSECTION WITH SLAUGHTER LANE TO THE WEST… Overflow parking from La Petite daycare employee meeting Road conditions on trash and recycle day. Slaughter and Chisholm Lane Intersection …on a Sunday morning Target site has egress only onto Slaughter Lane. THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE CHISHOLM LANE INTERSECTION WITH SLAUGHTER LANE TO THE EAST… This is where they want to add retail and hundreds of apartments! What traffic control measures will ensure citizens are safe traveling north, south, east, and west? Second issue: There is a significant environmental threat Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park is designated wildland… THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE 150’PROXIMITY TO THE TARGET SITE… Subject Tract also overlaps a creek buffer zone: An additional environmental threat… An aerial view …clearly showing the creek buffer running through the southern third of the subject tract How will the runoff from the proposed development be captured to avoid flooding or water contamination? Too many on too little…a third of subject tract is unbuildable! Slaughter Lane from Brodie to IH35 Slaughter Lane from HEB on Menchaca to the east …with new apartment complex under construction marked Construction site from Bilbrook Place Construction site north to Slaughter Lane Construction site from Swanson Ranch Road Third issue: Infrastructure cannot accommodate more high- density residential. Transit options easy walking distance: Buses #3 & #318 CapMetro options via #3 and #318 (north and west) CapMetro options via #3 and #318 (east); #10 (north) Please: NO further development unless the City of Austin improves the infrastructure to support planful growth!! This is our neighborhood
