Tomorrow, Tuesday Nov 18th Council will be voting about two IMPORTANT issues. ASPEN HEIGHTS a 700+ student housing development and amendments to the SIGN CODE. Lets start with the Development. PLEASE take a minute to COPY and PASTE or write your own and send to Council [email protected]. You can also read our summary here: friendsofflagstaff.org/pr/8100-aspen-heights-nov-18th-f3s-comments-to-council Dear Council, The Aspen Heights student housing development is not a good fit for the proposed location. I am concerned about the safety, health, and well being of our community should this project be approved. There is no safe biking or pedestrian accessibility to the site making it a serious safety concern. This project will also add significant traffic on route 66 as well as create parking issues in neighborhoods near NAU. The project jeopardizes our Dark Skies and poses a threat to our Observatories. Finally, being a student focused facility wild parties, elevated crime, noise, and nuisance will degrade the quality of life for nearby residents. Potential spill over to nearby open space will also degrade these natural environments and create fire risks. I urge you to vote NO on the rezone and annexation request.
