PREVENT MORE ILL-DESIGNED HIGH DENSITY HOUSING IN ST. CHARLES COUNTY & O'Fallon.

Tall Tree Development Proposal would have put ~500 residences on tiny lots on both sides of Hwy DD for 3 miles from Sommers Rd to Schwede Rd.

Impacts of the proposal would have:

1. Increased Property Taxes for ALL St. Charles County and O'Fallon to pay the developer’s cost

2. Overcrowded schools, negatively impacting learning environments & safety

3. Environmental Destruction right next to Busch Wildlife and Broemmelsiek park

4. Increased Traffic and no significant improvements w/ Add’l 5,000 cars daily to Hwy DD

5. Decreased property values due to high-density housing & natural setting destruction

6. Strained public services like emergency, water, etc. resulting in higher fees/taxes for ALL

Demand Rural Residential Zoning be required for this development.

For O'Fallon Residents, your opposition signature is key to keeping your tax dollars from being misused on the new development. Tall Tree was unanimously voted down by Saint Charles County. Why should the citizens of O'Fallon pay for a development that the County doesn't want? All the points noted above would happen should O'Fallon approve this development as proposed.
