American Canyon politicians are corrupt. After having defeating Measure J, you all are trying to destroy what is good in American Canyon. We already have too many warehouses, and are quickly destroying the habitat that birds and critters use for a home. What you've done to our city is nothing short of let the few greedy developers destroy nature to make a few bucks and make the rest of us suffer. Y'all might make a few bucks to get reelected in the process. Agricultural lands shouldn't be developed - period. Once they're gone, they're gone forever. The same goes for the rooted up vineyards on hwy 29. I'd rather drive through the "gateway to the Napa Valley" by driving through vineyards, instead of driving through warehouse upon warehouse upon more warehouses or whatever y'all have up your sleezy sleeves. This is just wrong!

Hello,
Please do not sacrifice the beautiful waterfront space to developers while destroying what gives value to our community.
American Canyon wetlands are a destination resting, feeding and nesting site on the flyway during the winter months for birds to thrive. I have seen up to 78 different species in one morning walk. It is an extrordinarily beautiful thing to experience. People come from all over the Bay Area to visit this amazing diverse environment. This is not simply a bird sanctuary, this place is also a sanctuary for the AC residents who come to the wetlands for mental and physical health. With the constant growth of the city over the last 5 years, people have increasingly utilized the waterfront space to relax their minds after a stressful workday and commute. The parking lot is now always full! To scar the environment with warehouses would be a crime against nature and humanity and just continues to make AC the garbage dump of Napa County. It is important that we respect what is providing VALUE to our community and set some boundaries against industrial development in our community to the detriment of our quality of life. . Thank you and please do the right thing for the people of AC.

I do not support destroying this habitat for industrialization. I have walked so often in the area the vineyard owners are seeking to incorporate into “The Sphere of Influence” so it can be rezoned and eventually developed into warehousing and possibly workers’ housing. Measure J was defeated. The American Canyon citizens have spoken. This naturally was not the answer the developers wanted to hear. When I drive through American Canyon I am amazed at the changing landscape. The unrestricted building and growth is saturating the area. Such uncontrollable growth; although it is good for the tax base will soon overtax and choke the support systems necessary for all this building. When I see all this building much of it on what once was public use land I often think of our children and wonder if the land around me will be there for them. It is then that I often remember the song “ Whose Garden Was This? “ sung by the late John Denver. The song on the album of the same name is available on line. I respectfully ask each of you on the city council to listen to John Denver’s wonderful lyrics
”Ah, tell me again I need to know. The forests had trees. The meadows were green. The oceans were blue. And the birds really flew. Can you swear that was true?” Listen and then vote with your conscience, your soul.
