KB Homes.

Why NOT

There are many reasons why this proposed development is an extremely bad idea. In short:

  • It is out of keeping with the rural character of northeastern Douglas County.
  • It will increase traffic on Pine Drive and reduced safety at an already dangerous intersection (Lincoln & Pine).
  • It will have negative impacts on water resources, existing alluvial wells, wildlife habitat, light and noise pollution, etc.
  • It could obstruct water flow below the Baldwin Dam.
  • It sets a precedent for further dense development along Pine Drive between Mainstreet and Inspiration Drive.
