Residents voiced strong opposition during a recent government meeting regarding a proposed development project in their neighborhood. Concerns centered around the potential impact on local wildlife, traffic congestion, and inadequate parking for the planned 35-unit complex.

Gene Wehner, a local resident, expressed worries about the disruption to wildlife, including turkeys, geese, and deer, which frequent the area. He highlighted the lack of parking space, questioning how the streets would accommodate multiple vehicles, especially during winter months when snow accumulation could further complicate access.

Cindy Mills, another resident, lamented the loss of scenic views from her home, stating that the development would obstruct her view of the woods and wildlife she enjoys daily. She described the project as a \"tragedy\" that would detract from the area's natural beauty.

Annette Slonaker raised additional concerns about lighting and traffic flow, particularly the safety of accessing the development from a busy road. She noted that the increase in residents could lead to more vehicles on the street, exacerbating parking issues.

Clark Ellen echoed these sentiments, fearing that the development would lower property values and increase the risk of accidents due to heightened traffic. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the neighborhood's character and safety.

The meeting concluded with the commission members invited to share their thoughts, indicating that the community's concerns would be taken into consideration as discussions about the development continue.
