Mr. Ramirez,
Any discussion of potential revisions to Land Use Element policies should include the need for more
open space. Policies should be updated to protect more open space. Rampant development that
wipes land which provides for a balanced ecosystem is dwindling fast. This open space functions in a
variety of ways - it lets us residents find some peace in this crazy society, it also is an important
migrating stop -overs for birds, as well as provides a home for a variety of species. Just because most
developers and politicians don't understand Science does not mean they should ignore it. It is of
utmost importance for policies to have a long -term vision in protecting nature around us. That alone
will increase home prices.
Thank you,
Kim Hendricks
