To whom it may concern:
Hello. My name is Carissa Stewart. I reside with my husband and children at 297 Rebecca Drive in the Henderson
subdivision in Rexburg.
I am writing to kindly oppose the rezoning of the large multi-lot property in our neighborhood (204 S 5th W)to a higher
density.
I am concerned about the higher amount of traffic a higher density zoning could cause in our neighborhood. Many
children walk and ride bikes to and from school and I think this would become more dangerous with more traffic. Most
school mornings,there is often a long line of cars at the intersection of Henderson and 5th E. waiting for traffic to
subside to be able to turn left to take our children to school near the 8:00 AM hour. After school I have been stuck twice
on 5th W. in a long line of non-moving traffic as I've tried with many others to enter the Kennedy elementary school
parking lot. Since the construction of the Providence Square apartments,traffic on 5th E. has increased and made travel
slower and more congested. I think adding more multi-family homes would be problematic.
I understand that there is a need for multi-family housing and I love that Rexburg and BYU-I are growing. It's wonderful! I
believe there will be newly-hired faculty with families who will want to purchase single family housing in our
neighborhood. Please consider my request to oppose the rezoning.Thank you for all the good things you're doing.
Sincerely,
Carissa Stewart
