I am opposed to the proposed increase in residential lots for Stoneridge Hills 2nd Addition and the use of TIF to help fund it. Changes that increase density beyond typical R-1 neighborhoods should be carefully considered, and public subsidy should only be used when clearly necessary. I respectfully ask the City Council to deny both the density amendments and the TIF request.
