Dear Commissioners,
In response to the filing attached by Aquila: My name is Mark Andrews.  My family of five lives at 24407 S. Overfelt in rural Cass County, on property adjoining the west side of the proposed South Harper peaking facility
The attached brief claims that few people live in this area, as it is "not a densely populated area"; I take exception to that assertion.  While it has been, in the past, a quasi-rural area, it is quickly becoming a 'bedroom community', as housing development has spread particularly from the east and north into the area.
You can determine for yourself whether the claims of Aquila regarding the sparseness of the population here are accurate: You are welcome to visit the area and see for yourself.
Respectfully,
Mark Andrews
