facilities to be vibrant, attract students and stays competitive. As a neighbor, I want UNW to keep growing and be a vital part of our community for years and years. I want them competitive and provide their students with the facilities for activities promoting health and wellness. The students deserve this and we should want it for them. Allow UNW the ability to provide an environment that supports activities and health, maintaining their ability to be competitive and vibrant. 4. Technology and Privacy: I have been on and near this campus many times, it is secluded and private, many large trees surround the whole campus and outline the fields and facilities. Other than from the lake, you hardly see it and notice it. With new lighting technologies and the way this campus is laid out with tree lines, I cannot see where there would ever be a concern for anyone. It is nothing compared to the lights added to Roseville high school, where people are right next to it without any tree line or separation. It is hard for me to even understand the concern of anyone, this is why I refer to it as people with selfish little concerns. There is not an issue here, it would be very disturbing if the lights are not allowed because whoever is expressing concerns, there really are not any. In summary, I love living next to this campus, it is beautiful and well cared for. The people I have interfaced with are terrific and the values of the campus leaders and students are extremely high in character and morality. They have consistently shown they are open and helpful to any concern they hear about, going over and beyond to solve issues and support the community. This is a campus that will develop our future leaders in this community, we need to care for the ability of the institution to provide great facilities to promote active and healthy students. As a community we need to realize change is good, we can all come up with little nuisances or irritations from a selfish standpoint but need to be able to look beyond these and realize how and what the changes do for our community and for the broader audience. The changes of these lights for UNW fields will not have any real negative effects on anyone living close to the campus. I hope as the leaders of this community you grant UNW to add lights to their new development and not be influenced by petty self-centered concerns of those resistant to change and growth.
