    Sam Billin at February 03, 2025 at 7:52pm PST

    My name is Sam Billin. I am a registered Professional Engineer and the founder and CEO of Linkan Engineering, an Elko County-based multi-national engineering and construction firm. I own and live at 412 Oakmont Drive, immediately adjacent to the proposed 160-acre parcel and at the intersection of Silver Oak Drive and Oakmont Drive. I have lived there for the last 25 years.
    I support the request for nullification of the zoning change for the following reasons:
    1. The approval REQUIRES that all traffic be funneled through a single entrance, Black Oak Drive.
    2. The high-density development MUST have arterial roadways in the design and zoning approval.  
    3. The issue of public and private roads within Spring Creek HOA needs to be resolved once and for all.
    4. The County should listen to comments from the public rather than comments from the Spring Creek HOA.

    My attached document includes additional detail to these positions.
