    Please support hiring HDR to bring the NE Denton Small Area Plan to reality. The SAP is much needed to preserve the intentions of the Denton Plan 2040 and the FLUM as dense development encroaches on the area. It will strengthen Denton as a desirable place to live in the future, as well. Thank you.

    I support the Northeast Denton Area Plan. This area is unique in its many opportunities for citizens to interact with nature. From the new mountain bike trail to Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center, there is something for everyone. Hiking, fishing or simply viewing wildlife. Let's keep the rural feel of this area so people will have an escape fom the bustle of the city close by.

    Your prompt attention to consideration of hiring a consultant who can protect the natural habitat as proposed in the Northeast Denton Small Area Plan is much appreciated! Someone who can preserve the rural nature of this area that has historical significance will make a positive impact in our community. We respect the 2030 plan that maintains this rural area. Thank you for being mindful of sustainable development that emphasizes the natural beauty of Texas in Denton.

    The NE Denton Small Area Plan that has been proposed by community members would be an asset to Denton. With the progressive development that has recently crowded the roads, increased pollution, and made us much like local neighbors, the SAP could retain the charming character of our hometown. Protecting the environment of this rural area while keeping a habitat that nurtures fresh air, wild animals, and wild flowers that currently thrive, would align with the goals of “Keep Texas Beautiful.”

    I wish I could express the immeadiacy of the need for the Northeast Denton Area Plan to be put in to action to aid in the conservation of a valued part of Denton. Development is likely to claim the natural beauty and character for the sake of someone making money. It's time to address this issue and save this gem - our larger neighborhood.

    I encourage you to approve this so that a PSA can be executed to create the NE Denton Area Plan. As a resident of NE Denton, it is sorely needed as development accelerates in our area.

    I hope the council will approve this so a small area plan can be developed. This area provides so much to the city in terms of recreational and nature spaces. A plan will help preserve this special area as special.

    I strongly support the authorization to hire HDR Architecture to assist in the creation of the Northeast Denton Area Plan. I believe it is imperative that the city moves quickly to create and approve an area plan that accommodates reasonable and thoughtful growth while maintaining the open, green space character of this area. No one wants the city center to be surrounded by a sea of concrete and asphalt where the only green spaces are the bits and pieces of land that can’t be developed.
