CURRENT DATE Mr. Erik Olson Snohomish County Planning and Development Services 3000 Rockefeller Ave M/S 604 Everett, WA 98201 Dear Mr. Erik Olson, I am writing to state my opposition to the proposed MXGP motor cross track at Yew Way in Maltby. This is File Number 06-102142-LU. As a resident of Maltby, I am opposed to this track because of the noise and traffic that would become a nuisance to our neighborhoods. Motor cross is an extremely loud sport. The noise created by motor cross bikes racing on this track would exceed the rural noise limits. This would forever change our quiet life in Maltby. Families would not be able to enjoy their own backyards without hearing the constant whine of motor cross bikes. The proposed track would attract a far greater number of people to the area than our roads were designed to manage. MXGP reported that 35,000 people used their facility in Monroe last year. The rural Malbty area roads cannot accommodate this number of vehicles. MXGP has planned 84 parking places for their site. Races in the past have attracted hundreds of participants and thousands of fans. Where will all these people park? The road of the proposed site, Yew Way, has no shoulder. It would be very unsafe to have any people park on this road, not to mention the number of projected cars this would attract. I hope that you will listen to the residents of Maltby that see this track threatening our quiet residential neighborhoods. Please do not let the interest of a few motor cross fans ruin our way of life in Maltby. I also request that I become a PARTY OF RECORD on this matter. Sincerely, YOUR NAME YOUR COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS
