The ridgeline that this project/development will consume is critical infrastructure for the watershed of the Eno
River one of the only ridges in Durham City that hasn't been developed it should remain undeveloped and be
annexed by West point on the email for additional trails public use even camping which right now West Point on
the Eno lacks.
My son has hiked the entire area for many years and has discovered many unique rock outcroppings and native
species of mushroom trees wildlife including owls Hawks crows woodpeckers
I'm sure there's other places that would be more cost-effective to develop considering all of the shelf rock that
exists on the land. I have lived in Durham since 2007 and have been visiting the Durham Area since 1987 I have
seen a lot of development since I first visit in here there is plenty of land that would be less costly to the
environment and the Eno River that would also be more cost-effective for a profit driven company.
I understand the need for housing but at this time of so much damage to our natural environment we need to be
more selective about the natural environment that we destroy for housing it would seem a piece of farmland
would be more appropriate than forest land especially adjacent to a city park that means so much to the entire
city whether they've discovered it yet or not. Let's continue with the mentality of the tobacco District in downtown
Durham and preserve the most valuable things about Durham for future generations I think this piece of land falls
into that category walk it all of you before you develop it Decide for yourselves by knowing it personally like I do
and my family does
