Protect our Rural Crescent

Dear Supervisor,

I am reaching out to you today because I want our Rural Crescent protected against changes which are being pursued by many segments of our county government - changes that will threaten our way of life and the success of our county.

·       Tough Mudder, and other destructive events, do not belong in our Silver Lake Park in the Rural Crescent – an environmental resource established just over 10 years ago as a passive-use park for all in the county to enjoy.

·       Binding proffers, which designated Silver Lake for passive recreation, cannot be ignored on a whim.  Binding proffers are in place all throughout this county, creating the character of our communities.  If you are going to ignore the proffers for Silver Lake, are you next going to ignore the proffers protecting my home, in my neighborhood?

·       County citizens chose walking/biking trails and natural wildlife habitats as the top two priorities for our county.  Your constituents’ desires are being ignored in the current $220M bond referendum being put forward.

·       The multiple zoning changes to the Rural Crescent being pushed by the county Planning Office are going to increase housing density in the Crescent, cause even worse overcrowding in our schools, and will rob critical infrastructure dollars from other districts of the county which have been ignored for far too long.

You are the representatives we selected to be our champions for the direction we want this county to take.  From the Potomac shoreline to the Bull Run Mountains, we want to capitalize on our county’s assets, not destroy them.  The zoning and proffers in place today protect not only the county’s assets within the Rural Crescent, but just as importantly, our assets county-wide.
