Subject: Peaks

We wish to address the request to increase the beds at Peaks. What effect will this increased number of 
beds have on the water and sewer needs ? Will the increase of the population overwhelm the traffic to 
and from the housing complex? What about the spaces for parking .Doesn't the added population 
simply make the need for  free space increased in the complex.
We have yet to absorb the increased student numbers in our town , but one can see increased arrests 
already. Do we need the increased tax revenues from this addition of beds , how will these revenues 
benefit Durham residents ? Will we be spending the dollars gained by adding police and inspection 
costs? Aren't we increasing the space needed for each resident in an apartment ? How does the request 
for increased beds effect the new requirement ? 
Regardless of the approval of added beds, the development has destroyed a special vista .
If the developers wish to be seen as good neighbors the developers should improve the landscaping 
without requiring the additional beds . The landscaping should have been considered as part of the 
approval process initially . Our town needs to be much more careful about the way is is looking as well 
as the way revenues are created.Thanks Diane and Frank McCann
