Comment Topic: Re -Zoning of the old Bally's property
Written Comment:
am against a re -zoning of the property trom "Uttice\Uommerciar to allow uonaos\nousing to be
added at the old Bally's property on 1st Ave S and S 328th in Federal Way. This area of Federal
Way is already full of condominiums and apartments. There are other areas being developed
with more of these types of mixed commercial\residential around the city and I feel we our
cramming to much in with no thought of how it will affect us. Schools are at capactiy, roads are
also at capacity and people are tired of all the large condo complexes like Townhouse Square
that are taking over neighborhoods.
The traffic is a nightmare anymore and the area where they plan to build this mixed use building
will only add to the traffic. My understanding is the entrance and exit would be on S. 328th and
there is a school bus stop just across the street. This is a dangerous place to have more traffic
flowing in and out, especially during the times of day the school bus in picking up and dropping
off children.
In the six years I have live in the area the traffic has been increasingly worse, with the drivers
speeding aound corners, which have bad visibilty. I am concerned it will only get worse if this re-
zoning goes through and there will be some bad accidents as a result.
Please take into consideration how this will affect those of us who work and live in the area and
the safety of our children.
Thank you, Mary Herman
