In a recent government meeting, residents of the Dry Creek community expressed significant concerns regarding the impact of new development projects, particularly the Creekview Ranch project. Community members highlighted a lack of awareness and representation in the planning process, attributing this to inadequate notification methods and the timing of project announcements during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One resident noted that the community was largely unaware of the Creekview Ranch project until construction began, citing poorly placed notification signs and minimal public engagement. This has led to feelings of disillusionment among residents, who believed that existing community plans would safeguard the rural character of their neighborhood. The resident lamented the negative effects of the project on the community's agricultural heritage and historic properties, emphasizing a collective sense of loss.

Another resident, Dean Shanklin, criticized the influence of developers, questioning the appropriateness of their projects in rural areas like Dry Creek. He argued that the proposals reflect the developers' profit-driven motives rather than the needs or desires of the local community. Shanklin's comments echoed a broader sentiment among residents who feel that their voices are not being heard in the face of rapid urban infill developments.

The meeting underscored a growing urgency among Dry Creek residents to engage more actively in the planning process, as they seek to protect their community's unique character and ensure that future developments align with their values and needs.
