The purpose of this petition campaign is to adequately represent the concern of the residents in the area regarding the redistricting of 11000 SE 15th Street, Midwest City, Oklahoma, 73130. 

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens strongly urging the redistricting request from PUD, Planned Unit Development to R-HD, High Density Residential District, R-MD Residential Medium Density, & C-4, General Commercial District for the property described as a tract of land being a part of the North-West Quarter (NW/4) of Section 8, Township 11 North, Range 1 West of the Indian meridian, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, also addressed as 11000 S.E. 15th Street, Midwest City, OK, be denied. Allowing this redistricting puts hardship and burden on the current home and land owners in the surrounding area.

The addition of residents could mean more commuters in the area which would increase traffic and accidents. The increase in traffic also increases the risk to cyclists and pedestrians. The development of a high density apartment complex runs the risk of making the area less desirable and lowering property values.

This additional housing would potentially seriously impact the already existing issue of overcrowding in our schools. This additional housing could bring an increase in the crime rate in our area. The near-by apartment complex, Boulevard at Lakeside Apartments, already causes issues such as an increase in unauthorized access to the neighboring HOA owned park, as well as an increase in vandalism. These dwellings would be built in an area that would cause the run-off water to flow to neighboring residents with the very real potential of flooding the neighboring residents. Midwest City is not short on diverse housing choices, and this proposed addition is another significant deviation from the zoning plans Midwest City has had for this area.

In conclusion, moving forward with construction and/or building would demonstrate disregard for the concerns of the residents within the 300 foot radius. These plans also affect people living in this community beyond the 300 foot radius we were given for this petition. We have heard from and spoken to many people in this community, and they are not in favor of this addition.
