Dear Mr. Yates:
As a homeowner living near Rahling Road in west Little Rock, I want to oppose the re -zoning request (Z -8165-
A) and land use amendment (LU08-19-2) to be changed from R-2. The traffic on Rahling Road is increasing (in fact,
the speed limit had to be increased to 45 MPH because no one was driving at 35mph!). Changing the housing to
apartment houses, adding commercial strip malls (do we really need more??) because the developer (who certainly
does not live in this area) wants to increase his profit, to the deterioration of the residents who already live here, is not
acceptable. Soon the forest on both sides of Rahling Road will be clearcut, destroying our environment, increasing
pollution. Adding high density housing will further decrease the quality of our neighborhood and potentially increase
crime. You are already aware of the high traffic volume on Pebble Beach—fortunately the stop signs and speed bumps
have made the area quieter and safer—I have been passed by other cars in this area at rush hour so that parents can
speed to PA prior to these measures. You may be forced to add stop lights at considerable expense, again wasting more
taxpayer money.
So as a homeowner and tax payer and citizen, I request that the zoning request be denied.
