Dear Planning Commissioners;
RE: Agenda Item 1-Appeal-159 Broad St. Subdivision
Thank you for submitting this letter into the file of the above item.
I represent Biodiversity First!, a local not-for-profit conservation organization. Our
mission is to create wildlife corridors to provide wild critters the opportunity to
survive and reproduce. Without these corridors, these species will not maintain
the health and genetic diversity which they need to avoid extinction.
Although huge swatches of land are generally thought of as survival corridors,
we know that the smaller pieces of land, especially in more densely populated
areas are just as important. This Bressi property is, as described in many
testimonies in this record, is a perfect example of this phenomenon.
A multitude of species are highly dependent on this small bit of open space. It is
imperative that an “S” overlay be added to both portions of this existing corridor.
Your attention and diligence to this item would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Biodiversity First!
Greg McMillan
Chair, Board of Directors
