Dear Sirs:

I understand that the planning moratorium for Hayden Island is up for review currently and I would like to express my concerns please. Growth is good for our economy and keeps things fresh in neighborhoods. Hayden Island is a wonderful community that has very limited resources when it comes to access to and from the island and emergency services. We have a serious traffic issue presently that cannot support the island residents, adding more stores and residential will only compound the issue. A plan to improve and explore the options available now and for the next generation is needed badly and many parties should be involved. May I please ask that you kindly extend the moratorium and begin the planning process to properly discuss the major issues and solutions so that Hayden Island will still be desirable in the future?

Thanks so much for your consideration!
