Dear Marion County Commissioner:

I(we) respectfully request that you oppose and deny in their entirety:

1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment 20-L05 submitted by Blitch Plantation, LTD to amend the future land use designation from Rural Land to Rural Activity Center for 18.2 acres.

2. Application 200507Z to rezone 18.2 acres from Rural Land to Rural Activity Center; and

3. Application 200508SU to permit ATV racetrack with ancillary recreational uses, limited ATV sales and repair, RV Park, and event venue requested as a Special Use Permit in RAC and A-1 Zoning Districts.

The proposed site is in the Farmland Preservation Area. The developer has made clear that it will be the site of Double Gate ATV Park. From noise levels to soils, water, wildlife and traffic – this location is inappropriate for the proposed use. I(we) appreciate the foresight of Marion County to create the Farmland Preservation Area to protect the sense of place that we all enjoy for future generations, and we ask that you please vote to protect it now.

Sincerely,
