Has sufficient engineering been completed to prove the development is designed to minimize impacts to existing and neighboring properties, whether the character to the development fits into the long-term plans of the area, whether there is sufficient utility capacity (internet, power, cell phone, and water especially) to service the new homes?

I have several concerns regarding the above-mentioned items and more. The application available for review online does not include a specific map of these 159 lots. There is no mention of traffic and utilities impact studies. These studies should include the entire development, not just Phase 1. The Elko Daily Free Press article stated that lots proposed to be established within a Zone A floodplain, this is never a good idea. The floodplain should be studied and FEMA maps properly revised prior to construction.

I am greatly concerned that a single access to Spring Creek to Elko will be over-stressed and cause undo additional risk to those of us who already live in the Spring Creek area. I am concerned that GBWC has committed to serving this development, but have they proven that existing users will be un-impacted? Will the development have any night sky limitations on lighting? Please make sure these issues are addressed prior to approving the tentative map.

They need to make sure the school system can support the additional stidents.

This project would be detrimental to the residents of Spring Creek, both current and future. We have well-known traffic concerns over the Summit and at the high school and Boyd-Kennedy Rd. There is only one way in and one way out of Spring Creek, and this project will effectively double the population. That will result in horrific traffic over the summit. In addition, there are other infrastructure issues such as water and sewer that have not been resolved. Great Basin Water Company already cannot provide enough water for the current residents- are they going to pass on the cost of improvements to current residents? Where will a sewer treatment plant go? Who will pay for that? People who bought residential property on acreage in the area didn't expect to have a sewer treatment plant in their back yards.
There are way too many issues here, and none of them are good for Spring Creek.

Would love an affordable housing community in Spring Creek!
This plan is NOT it at the present time. Too many important details to work out: Traffic!??! roundabout safety to 3 schools (when?), Good family housing and SC community vote "Yes"! Very high density Ponzi scheme "No"! Let's work on it with the developer for a better future please.
