Dear Commissioners,

I am writing to ask you reject the Lee Property Special Area Study (SAS)
until every effort has been made to protect the property through purchase
and/or easement arrangements.

The Hickory Sink Strategic Ecosystem that exists on the Lee Property has
environmental features that provide significant benefits to our county
including vital aquifer recharge.

Additionally, extending the Urban Cluster Line to provide services and
allow dense development in rural/agricultural areas will erode the strength
of our Comprehensive Plan and allow the continuation of urban sprawl
throughout the county.

As one of 47 areas in Alachua County identified as worthy of special
protection, it is time to ensure that it is indeed protected. I ask that
you make the strongest possible effort to preserve this critical land.  We
also don’t need more traffic on Archer Road which is already intolerably
congested, and we certainly don’t need a new golf course there adding
arsenic to and polluting our water.

Sincerely,

Linda Tuttle
