As I mentioned, my interest in the County's <br /> policies is specific to the Ronald LAMIRD and the rural area west of Roslyn, basically <br /> the area whose sole access is via the SR 903 corridor through Roslyn. The concern <br /> is potentially adding more traffic through the corridor {which is already forecast to <br /> have failing LOS in the downtown core during peak periods under existing zoning and <br /> regulations). Changes to County policies that promote additional growth and <br /> additional traffic in this corridor would exacerbate a bad situation that is already <br /> problematic for emergency responders, wildfire evacuation and residents during peak <br /> periods. <br /> At our meeting you stated that the county had no plans for changes to development <br /> regulations, zoning or LAMIRD boundaries west of Roslyn but you invited me to send <br /> you specific policy areas of concern. That's the purpose of this email. I've reviewed <br /> the proposed revisions in detail and taken as a whole the proposed revisions could <br /> easily be interpreted by future decision makers as being supportive of more <br /> development, and more intensive development, in the Ronald LAMIRD and adjacent <br /> rural areas that send traffic into the corridor. Proposed revisions would change <br /> county policy to work with the state to expand LAMIRD boundaries, encourage urban <br /> utilities in rural areas, construct workforce housing (i.e. high density) in rural areas, <br />
