The Planning Commission officially denied the Bull Run proposal for Herr Lane this morning. My focus now shifts to monitoring the site for any future development filings that do not align with our neighborhood density standards.

Stop the rezoning which would place an extremely dense collection of homes next to pre-existing homes on a two-lane road which experiences long lines of traffic near 4 schools daily! Let your voice be heard against excessive growth without proper placement and boundaries at 1920 and 1922 Herr Lane. Contact Ms. Dante St. Germain, Louisville Metro case manager for 22-zone 0073 *******Your full mailing address must accompany your signature! ******
We are not opposed to an appropriate development that would be in harmony with the characteristics of our neighborhood. The Current Proposed Bull Run Development would:
Fail to blend compatibly with the existing landscape of single family homes.
Use materials and design that clash terribly with the current neighborhood form.
Allow for no buffer of reasonable open space, vegetative margins or transition of densities.
Create landscaping and fencing that will not adequately reduce the negative impacts to air quality, noise and lighting pollution to nearby homes or the Nature Preserve behind All Peoples Church.
Not be in compliance with onsite management and treatment of stormwater.
Add too much traffic to an overly congested Herr Ln that has no certain improvement in sight. And many more crass infringements on a goal of good stewardship of the land usage.

I have lived in Graymoor/Devondale for 41 years. The traffic on Herr Lane has gotten to the point that I check the time of day before I leave the house to analyze if there will be bad school traffic. Several hundred apartments would only make that even worse.
More congestion would increase traffic collisions. I have personally not been at fault at the herr lane and Westport intersection and someone blind turning into Shell at Hwy 22. This area is not suitable for this large scale housing with increased traffic. It’s not safe or suitable for this congested area.
This development is too dense and too different from the surrounding neighborhood building types. Approval of this zoning change makes a mockery of the process and goals of planned development.
We have not yet seen how badly the traffic will be effected by the new VA, and office buildings to be constructed in the immediate area. We need to wait and find out how much worse these unfinished developments will effect the already existing heavy traffic before any change in zoning is considered.
With the VA, two new medical office buildings off 22 and 42 plus 4 schools the amount of traffic encroaching on tiny Her Lane is disturbing. I’m very worried about emergency vehicles reaching their destination in a timely manner.
The organizer of this effort needs to also screenshot each of these concerns... and email them separately to Dante with the case numbers... then each of the concerns are listed separately-- vs. all in one chunk'd petition. EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL. EMAIL ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS. They all eventually vote on anything moving through the process/comissions.
Growth is not the sustainable answer... and rubber-stamping development in the name of "growth" -- is not good. Especially when so many developers are receiving tax benefits from their work.... I wish we could ALL get tax benefits for doing "good things". We must band together our neighborhoods and create a cohesive web of opposition.

Over 500 apartments, an enormous VA hospital and the Bull Run Project is too much for an area that is less than one square mile. Traffic is already horrendous from multiple schools in the area and exits from the expressway. This is a terrible concept for the space have some mercy on the residents who already live here
