    I vote "no" for variance based on future continual problems with soil erosion, lack of oversight/management for avoiding environmental hazards, and increase in tax dollars to provide constant 'improvements to the improvements' (resurfacing of fields, clearing detention ponds, etc.)
    (1) Removal of trees will cause continual sinking of ground - lack of root structure for supporting gridwork of soil - resulting in continual erosion of underlayers of ground (constant repaving - as seen in many roads with sinking areas due to lack of supporting structures near sewer pipelines)
    (2) Increasing number of detention ponds - without continual monitoring - will result in uncontrollable algae growth - noxious fumes - continual escalation of mosquito population (increasing potential diseases to humans/animals). Taxpayers will continually be paying for increasing maintenance and health costs related to expanding "detention ponds"
    (3) Healthy trees are already being cut down or destroyed due to no water, reduced canopy, and no oversight throughout park due to apparent lack of oversight and management by City Parks Department (Walker).
    (4) Noise and safety hazards of park use. No security. Taxpayer will have to incur higher tax to ensure that bordering neighbors are protected in their homes from noise and vandalism.
