Windsor Area Structure Plan

I truly hope this doesnt go through. We specifically chose this neighborhood for its density and how quiet it is. Having this new development will increase the density of this neighborhood dramatically. Not only that, why are you putting cheap housing in a neighborhood like this. This neighborhood is known for being a high value neighborhood. This will bring the value of our houses down. There are so many other areas with open lots. Far away from here. Build there! Stay away from our neighborhood!

I read through the development plan for the Windsor area and I’m absolutely disgusted. I bought in Whispering Ridge to live in a quiet neighbourhood that was not full of high density, housing, traffic, noise, high density, traffic, and all the chaos at this plan will bring.
Most concerning is the transition and wideng of 62 to a flyover into the Clairmont area. This will just become a major commuter and business route to the south into GP also with people turning into whispering Ridge and Westlake to get access to the east side half hour quiet subdivisions.
I did not buy here to live in a community adjacent to major traffic routes and shopping areas.

We disagree the proposed plan , we moved here a year ago because we like the space county offered and proposed project we have in whispering ridge and west lake , please stop the plan and review and make another subdivision just like whispering and make better park for year around walks with flat walk ways so easy to maintain in snowy days.

A simple no. The draw for us to this neighborhood was the small town know your neighbor feel. We’d like to keep it that way! This plan will bring more noise, more traffic, and potentially more crime. Whispering Ridge and Westlake are highly desirable neighborhoods for a reason.

We purchased a home in the county to remove ourselves from the congestion, crime, traffic and problems of the city. Adding this much high density housing brings all those problems to the county. It’s time the county considers their residents comments and stops thinking how many more tax payers can we cram into an area. Adding a flyover on RR 62 is going to make the road a busy truck route not in favour.

High density housing will ultimately reduce property values reducing tax revenue

This is absolutely horrible and will be devastating to the entire neighborhood. My family absolutely opposes these plans to build high density homes and apartments right next to us.

We disagree strongly will the proposed plan. We built our home last year in the area because it was a higher value area and not a cramped multi family area.

I do not agree the Windsor Area should proceed being developed as it is currently proposed. Whispering Ridge has been a great place to raise a family with peace and quiet. Building this high density subdivision will take away a lot of the good things that Whispering Ridge has to offer.

What a way to ruin our neighborhood!

This completely defeats the purpose of living in the area, we are currently building in Whispering Ridge and would not have done so knowing this development was being planned.

We are strongly against the idea of adding this many residents to the area and the traffic/noise that would come with it.

The reason why people want to live out here is the space, freedom and quality of home. We don’t need more as this will reduce the price of our homes due to supply. This isn’t helpful for our community

This is an awful idea. We are currently buying a home in this area and had no idea this was a proposed idea, if we had known it would have highly swayed our decision to buy a home in this community. We chose this community for the safety and quietness it exhibited. This plan will disrupt just that. Extremely disappointed in this plan and I believe it should be reconsidered.

We chose to live in county for the space, being surrounded by trees and farmland. We did not want to surrounded by high density apartments and housing. We are very much against this Area Structure Plan in is current form.

I am a whispering ridge resident and local realtor of 12 years and I strongly oppose the window structure plan , this will be detrimental to all home owners property values, peace of living, and the whole reason we all chose to live and buy in this area. This is nothing more than an attempt to make a quick dollar - I say NO to medium and high density homes, No to apartments , no townhomes , no duplex's . No lane homes. No! No! No!

I wish to express my concerns regarding the Windsor Area Structure Plan in its current form. Several elements of the proposal present significant challenges to the character, safety, and long‑term wellbeing of our community.

The plan’s abrupt density transitions immediately adjacent to established low‑density neighbourhoods would undermine the privacy, stability, and overall character that current residents have relied upon when choosing to live here. Thoughtful, gradual transitions are essential to maintaining compatibility between new and existing development.

The proposed conversion of Range Road 62 into a regional commuter corridor through the Highway 43 flyover is particularly troubling. This change would introduce permanent increases in traffic volumes, noise, and safety risks. Many families selected this area precisely because it is not a high‑volume pass‑through route, and the proposed reclassification conflicts with long‑standing expectations and established residential patterns.

Commercial zoning in SE‑10‑72‑6‑2 along Range Road 62 also raises serious concerns. Uses such as gas stations would expose nearby homes and schoolchildren to continuous benzene and other harmful emissions. These are not conditions any family would reasonably accept in close proximity to their home or school, and such uses are incompatible with the surrounding residential environment.

The concentration of five schools within six quarter sections will create substantial congestion, strain existing infrastructure, and limit land available for other essential community services. It will also leave other neighbourhoods underserved. Locating three schools along a corridor that is simultaneously being positioned as a commuter route is contradictory and introduces avoidable safety risks for students and families.

The plan also lacks key community amenities, including recreational facilities, health services, and senior‑oriented spaces. A health clinic, in particular, would be a valuable and much‑needed addition for both current and future residents.

Finally, it is critical that the natural treed buffer be preserved. This area provides meaningful protection from highway noise, supports environmental health, and contributes significantly to the character and livability of the community.

Growth is both expected and welcomed, but it must be managed responsibly. The Windsor Area Structure Plan requires substantial revision to ensure development proceeds in a manner that is safe, compatible, and respectful of existing neighbourhoods.

Thank you for your consideration.

This is wild. Who's idea is this? Smaller lots, even in Whispering Ridge now. Race to the bottom losing everything that made this area good. Leave it to whomever is in charge to design something like what's happening east side of crystal lake. Tiny lots, expensive houses no one wants. Keep lots big, enough already. Keep some character.

Absolutely not. A proposal to take away our peace and quiet and our home value to develop high density housing and a highway overpass right beside us. We paid very high prices for our homes to have the exclusivity of a large lot low density, quiet neighbourhood. I oppose any development directly beside us that doesn’t match the current neighbourhood layout. Even at that, why are we developing the bush area that blocks the noise from highway 43 and 43x into anything but a walking area with paths through the trees. Are you not getting enough tax dollars from this neighbourhood already?

I am a resident of Westlake Village, living directly across Range Road 62 (108 Street) from the proposed Windsor Area Structure Plan lands. I am strongly opposed to this plan proceeding in its current form.

Westlake Village was intentionally developed as a low-density, single-family neighbourhood with larger lots, limited traffic, and a consistent residential character. The Windsor Area Structure Plan proposes land uses immediately adjacent to this community that are incompatible with those established design principles.

1. Opposition to Medium-Density Housing Adjacent to Westlake Village
I strongly oppose the inclusion of medium-density residential development (townhomes, duplexes, multi-unit housing) directly across from Westlake Village. Introducing higher-density housing beside an established low-density neighbourhood undermines the character, privacy, and long-term value of existing homes.

Medium-density housing brings higher population concentration, increased traffic, parking spillover, noise, and a fundamentally different built form. This is not a compatible transition and contradicts the expectations under which Westlake Village residents purchased their homes.

2. Loss of Neighbourhood Compatibility and Character
The ASP fails to provide a meaningful transition between existing large-lot single-family homes and the proposed higher-intensity development. Roads alone are not adequate buffers. Once approved, this incompatibility is permanent and irreversible.

3. Strong Opposition to the Highway 43 Flyover / Overpass
A key reason I chose to live in this area was the current function of Range Road 62, which does not allow continuous north–south pass-through traffic due to the Highway 43 closure. This naturally limits congestion, speeds, and regional shortcut traffic.

The proposed flyover would convert Range Road 62 into a regional commuter corridor, inviting induced pass-through traffic that has no destination in our community. This would permanently increase noise, traffic volumes, and safety risks directly adjacent to existing homes. I strongly oppose this outcome.

4. Traffic, Safety, and School Impacts
The combined effects of higher-density housing, multiple schools, road widening, and a future overpass will significantly increase congestion and safety risks. The plan relies on future studies and potential mitigation rather than enforceable protections for existing residents.

5. Disproportionate Impact on Current Residents
The benefits of this plan primarily serve future development and regional traffic needs, while the negative impacts are borne almost entirely by existing homeowners. This is not equitable or responsible planning.

For these reasons, I request that the County not approve the Windsor Area Structure Plan in its current form. At a minimum, the plan must be revised to:

Eliminate medium-density residential development adjacent to Westlake Village

Preserve exclusively low-density, single-family housing as the transition use

Remove or fundamentally reconsider the Highway 43 flyover on Range Road 62

Protect the road’s non–pass-through function

Provide enforceable buffers, setbacks, and traffic protections for existing neighbourhoods

Growth should not come at the expense of established communities that were built with clear and reasonable expectations. I respectfully ask Council to reject this plan as proposed and require substantial revisions.

Sincerely,
Westlake Village Resident

I don't like it.
