There's no room in this area for this type of thing. The road itself is not capable of handling the traffic. Once again, we are misled. Buying property with no idea what's going to happen down the road.

There is no place to accomodate the traffice and parking needed for the complex. The lights will disturb many sub-divisions in direct line of the complex. The complex should be put away from a community of family homes and should be placed away from this and where the busses, traffic and population can be accomodated.l

How come we didn't get informed for such large scale construction until it's almost done?

You have to figure in the building and parking for the projected number that would be attending games plus the facility people. This is right smack dab in the middle of a very nice subdivisions. It would add more traffic right in the middle of these subdivisions, which have many children playing in and around the area. The lights would be on late at night. Not a good fit this area.

Currently, a 6-foot tall fence and stand of shrubs means lights on 85-foot poles are absolutely NOT an acceptable buffer!

Stop iit now. The traffic in the area is already a problem and this would really create more problems than any benefits which might be provided. This is a very nice neighborhood and the planned use would be inconsistent with the development. Other areas for such a sports complex must surely be available.

The sports complex would create even more dangerous traffic for us as senior citizens, not to mention our young children in the neightborhood. I can't imagine a more ill-conceived idea and poor judgement to let it get this far. Please put an end to this immediately. Suzanne Forbes

The project timeline speaks for itself... An agreement between Mecklenburg County Parks and Rec and SCSA was signed June 2007 and the first notification to the community was in Oct. 2007. I submit that this is an ILLEGAL CONTRACT and should be VOIDED since it is contrary to public policy.

They asked what we as a community wanted to see with the nature preserve on Tom Short Rd., but NEVER ONCE asked any neighbors of this land for their impact on this SPORTS COMPLEX planned BEHIND THE SCENES!

The sport complex will destroy the peace and quiet (lights on absurdly late) and the traffic burden will increase and cause safety risks for my small children (people not of my neighborhood already use my street as a throughway and drive faster than the posted speed limit).

The volume and duration of opreation into late eveing 10:30 will create traffic hazards and impact residential property values.

Future problems that concern me the most are noise late into the evening, bright lights, congested traffic, parking problems, and decreased property values. We would have chosen a different area to live had we known this large sports complex was planned.

It's wonderful to have the sports fields, play ground, and sports association, but the traffic/lack of parking is a safety hazard. The additional plans are overwhelming to the small residential area it is. I was taken aback when a random parent at a social event stated in casual conversation about kids sports that the these sports fields were built specifically for the sports association and no one else. Seems unfair.

It will be a noise nuisance, a traffic hazard, and would destroy our quiet, peaceful neighborhoods. The lights are unacceptable.

A nearby sports complex can be found on Ardrey Kell at Elon Elementary that could be used instead of building one at Polo Ridge Elementary. The Elon Elementary sports complex is not surrounded by residential homes.

The light poles are too high and the lights are too bright. Why do we need to have 12 poles?? The parking is inadequate and the traffic from the sports competitions will present a danger to the children and residents of our community. This is not the small community soccer field that we were informed about. It is a sports complex that does not belong in this location. Please take down the lights!!!
