: My name is Christy. I am a home owner in The Lakes. It has come to my attention that the school board will be holding a meeting this Wednesday, October 8th at 6 pm at Pima Butte Elementary. During this meeting they will be discussing and possibly voting on turning the open land that was donated to them from the builders in The Lakes, near Global water, into a school bus and maintenance yard and a district warehouse! This is the land that is bordered by both Rancho El Dorado Parkway and Power Parkway. As a community, we need to show up in numbers and let the school board know this is NOT ok! This type on industrial building does not belong in a neighborhood! Some things to consider even if your home does not have a clear view: *this will be across for one of the nicest access to the lakes *the smell of diesel will run threw the neighborhood both morning and afternoons *the ware house and bus yard will most likely have a chain link fence topped off with barbwire and will have to have lights around the perimeter threw out the night *the district currently has 48 buses and they need twice that *those 48 buses will most likely use smith-enke as their dispatch route EVERY morning and EVERY afternoon (or even worse, Rancho El Dorado Pkwy) *because the school district owns the property, the city can only give their opinion but has NO authority to stop them, so it is up to us Once again the meeting is on Wednesday, October 8th at 6 pm at Pima Butte Elementary. When they have their call to the public, we need to be there in numbers to protect our neighborhood! Please, if you can not attend the meeting go to www.musd20.org and flood the board with e-mails. Or call the school’s Superintendent at 520-568-5100.. Your neighbor, Christy Attention neighbors |
