We don't want a new festival venue

May 25, 2014

It is my opinion that the location of the proposed festival venue ("Woodstock" II) by Alex Pires totally threatens the peaceful and tranquil lifestyle that me, my family, friends and neighbors enjoy.

Inasmuch, I will attend every public meeting and/or hearing to vigorously oppose this action. And, from the chatter in the neighborhood, I will not be alone.

Again, it is my opinion, that there are numerous rural acres where this Festival Venue can be attained, without the disruption of our personal lives and personal security. Another thing, it is my opinion that the County roads will not be able handled the additional traffic, which includes, among other things, parking, pedestrian safety and the need for emergency vehicles response.

Finally, should Alex Pires accomplish his project, and should the cause for civil remedies arise, I will know where to turn.
