Steve and Lacey put a lot of thought into the parking lot and routes in and out of the property with clear signage and well maintained paved gravel.

The opportunities my kids have had getting to help care for animals and work on the farm will absolutely shape their connection to agriculture, nature and our environment. The traffic has not been an issue at all. Children and families today need any and all connections to nature and Steve and Cathy generously make that available. It would be such a loss if Fall Mountain Farm couldn’t operate as they do now.

There have not been any traffic issues, nor do I expect there to be any. The Farm is an asset to our community and the approval of the proposed parking project will allow it to continue to be enjoyed by many.
	SUPPORT Name: Mike Slavick Date: 5/19/2026 10:55:04 AM	As President of the Forest Lakes Homeowners Association, representing 457 households in the community adjacent to Fall Mountain Farms, I am writing in full support of the farm's petition to exceed the 50-car parking limit. Our neighborhood has a front-row perspective on the farm's operations, and I can say with confidence that the increased visitor traffic has not created any measurable impact on the surrounding roads or our community's quality of life. Beyond the logistics, I want to emphasize how deeply our residents value Fall Mountain Farms as a neighbor and community asset. The farm brings a cherished sense of local character and seasonal tradition that our families have come to love. Many of our homeowners attend the festivals regularly and take great pride in having such a vibrant, community-oriented farm nearby. Restricting attendance through a parking cap would be a disservice not only to the farm, but to the entire surrounding community.

	SUPPORT Name: April Jean Slavick Date: 5/19/2026 10:16:06 AM	We support Fall Mountain Pumpkin fall festival and other events throughout the year. We are an adjacent neighborhood at Forest Lakes. I am on the Forest Lakes social committee. The impact fall Mountain farms has had on our community has been wonderful and we would be so sad to see attendance limited. please approve their petition to park vehicles for these event events.

I am glad to see hard working land owners succeed in using the land they own to support their family and the community around them. Please allow this landowner to continue with his endeavor.

I have been able to observe that past couple of years, it has not posed a traffic or noise problem. Indeed, no problems at all. It is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood.
