If approved as submitted, this proposal may harm all stakeholders:
- The City risks infrastructure strain and diminished public trust
- The Applicant risks a failed sales strategy due to impractical pricing and congestion
- The Community risks decreased property values, increased traffic, and erosion of Shakerag's rural identity

The Embry Farms site has significant topographical challenges that limit responsible development:
- Minimal road frontage
- Steep slopes and large floodplains
- Over 73% of the land lies within the protected Chattahoochee River Corridor
- For decades, the Embry family used this parcel as a private farm because of these environmental constraints. Any future development must respect these limitations.

We believe that:
- The 2018 Comprehensive Plan clearly reduced allowable density in Shakerag to 1 unit per net acre or less
- CUP zoning is being improperly used to bypass AG-1 1-acre minimum standards
- The 2019 Ashton Woods denial should serve as binding precedent
- Critical zoning provisions are being misinterpreted as merely "best practices" rather than enforceable requirements

We respectfully ask the City Council to:
- Follow the Planning Commission's recommendation to reject the proposal
- Review legal standards from the Georgia Planning Act, 2018 Comprehensive Plan, and Zoning Ordinance
- Consider the 2019 Ashton Woods denial as binding precedent
- Recognize the risk of setting a precedent that could erode the entire Shakerag Character Area

This is not anti-development. We support responsible growth that respects our community's character and environmental constraints.

What are they proposing?
Residential Zones should be under 65 decibels from 7am to 7pm.
Commerical Zones would be under 75 decibels from 7am to 7pm.
A pop-up toaster is 80 decibels. The average washing machine is 50-75 decibels. A kitchen blender is 80-90 decibels.

THIS WILL END ALL OUTDOOR LIVE MUSIC IN CHESTER, NY. No band is capable of playing lower than 75 decibels. It would also end all noise by 7pm allowing no evening music or outdoor noise at your home.

Not only will this affect those who love outdoor live music, but it will affect all residents and businesses in Chester. The businesses and their ability to support local jobs will be diminished. No Live Music. Less Support of Local Business. Less Local Jobs. The proposed ordinance is NOT in the best interest of the Town of Chester and its residents.

Please ACT NOW! Sign this petition! Send individual letters to the Town of Chester! And please, please attend the PUBLIC HEARING MEETING on July 24th at 7pm in Support! Thank you!

It's time to take a stand and make sure our city doesn't get overrun with these shops. Let's focus on the well-being and quality of our community and do something about it. We need to make our voices heard and tell city officials that we want a more balanced and controlled approach to the retail cannabis scene.

So, let's join forces and address this issue together. Remember, it's our city, and we can shape its future for the better!

This petition provides you with an opportunity to express your concerns if you believe that the project's density, traffic impact, safety issues, and potential strain on the city budget make it unsuitable for your neighborhood. Additionally, if the City Council proceeds with the project, we are urging that the $6 MILLION in development fees be allocated towards improving parks, streets, and neighborhoods most affected by this development.

The petition has been organised by HOME (Holistic Outlook on the Migration Emergency). We are a grassroots, non-partisan group of concerned Mayo locals, who are seeking alternative, workable solutions to the migration crisis.

The Sports Centre at the Breaffy complex is to be turned into permanent accommodation for International Protection Applicants and yet the public have not been made aware of this development which has permanent implications for the people of Breaffy, Castlebar and Mayo.

County councillors claim they have been kept in the dark and that they’ve no power to stop plans by the county management (Tom Gilligan & Kevin Kelly), who are acting on behalf of The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, rather then acting in the best interests of Mayo residents.

In the midst of drought, many of us were heard saying that “we are one day closer to rain.” Now the pain of the 2019/2020 drought has eased for some, and we are focused on the fact that “we are one day closer to the next drought.”

Without added water security, the Granite Belt cannot grow and progress. Without Emu Swamp Dam, the government will be putting the rubber stamp on our limit of production over the next 100 years. When the next drought comes, it will wipe out another $100 million dollars worth of production.

• Sewerage water enters homes and mixes with water tanks.
• Using polluted water causes various health problems.
• Electrocution cases rise because of flooded roads.
• Drowning cases rise due to flooding.
• Power outage which lasts for many days.
• Flooded roads limit access to hospitals.

Despite the metropolitan office’s weather predictions and tall claims by authorities, each monsoon brings with it the same level of unpreparedness. The Sindh government and KMC take no visible action. Organizations such as DHA, CBC, KDA, and KWSB are equally incompetent.
