Well Jeanette, sorry for the outcome at the Planning Commission. I
hope you arranged with nearby neighbors to do the protest petition
that goes to the City Commission. You have 20 days to get all the
signatures and submit it to the <u>City</u> Clerk. <br>
<br>
I'm attaching the July 2021 version again, but I think the legal
description on the second page needs to be updated by the County
Clerk, because Evergy bought additional property.<br>
<br>
good luck,<br>
Michael<br>

</div>
<div>I apologize for this short notice, but the Heatherwood
Heights Neighborhood Association would appreciate your
support.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please contact the Planning Commission Members by Monday,
July 25 and urge them to deny Evergy applications for
rezoning, creating a preliminary plat, and a special use
permit which will allow Evergy to build an industrial sized
electrical substation very close to family homes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Heatherwood Heights Neighborhood Association opposes
the Free State Substation for the following reasons:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>It is too big to be placed so close to existing homes.
This is an industrial sized substation being proposed
very close to residential homes. There is no precedence
for a substation this large near existing homes.</li>
<li>The substation will negatively affect the quality of
life for residences of our neighborhood. The substation
will emit a constant noise. It will also have cooling
units which will generate even more noise during high
electricity use times.</li>
<li>Electrical and Magnetic Fields emitted by the power
lines may have harmful health effects.</li>
<li>The substation will decrease property values and
negatively affect the stability of our neighborhood.
There is a great deal of evidence that houses near power
lines sell for less. Many homes near substations become
rental properties which will change the character of our
stable neighborhood.</li>
<li>Evergy has not demonstrated a need for a substation so
large.</li>
<li>Evergy does not seem to have throughly considered
other available space for this substation.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thank you for contacting members to oppose the Free State
Substation. Here is the email address:</div>
