Personal affairs prevent me from attending the meeting. We - my wife and I - own, and rent out, the townhouse property at 2507 Longmire, which is adjacent to but separated from Regency South by an alley. The alley provides access to garages and parking aprons for the row of townhouses that includes our property. It is my understanding that rezoning of Regency South from PUD 42 to PUD #3 will allow an increase in building density from 15 dwelling units per acre to 50 dwelling units per acre. My principal concern is that such high density building, and the attendent increase of the number of cars, will create problems in the alley, which, in the new scheme, would also serve as a major access way for residents in Regency South. According to a replat shown to me, some units in Regency South will be accessable by vehicle only from the alley. I am concerned that along with a heavy increase of traffic in the alley there will also be a high incidence of improper parking, blocking access for residents' vehicles and for service vehicles, as well as for emergency vehicles, should they be required. It is almost certain that there will be more vehicles drawn to this area than can be accomodated within Regency South, inevitably causing the overflow to spill out onto the access alley and, beyond that, onto Longmire. I have spoken with a number of residents in the row of townhouses on Longmire, both owners and renters, and they share my concerns. Although I do not live along the alley I feel an obligation to keep the property we have as safe as possible for occupants. To that purpose I urge you to reject the rezoning request. PUD #2 seems entirely appropriate, especially given that more than half of the area is developed already. PUD #3 will create problems and dangers on the periphery of Regency South. Sincerly yours vf-olc,~ Stefan Gartner 1303 Angelina Ct. College Station, TX May 29, 2000 Planning and Zoning Commission Planning Division City of College Station 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, Tx 77840 Re: Consideration of a City Initiated Rezoning Request for Regency South The purpose of this letter is to protest the proposed zoning change for Regency South and to support the other residents of Longmire Drive in their protest of this change. We own property at 2501 Longmire and we are concerned about the congestion that would be caused by allowing more units to be constructed in the area behind our property. We are concerned that there is not adequate room for parking already. In fact, we are having problems with tenants of Cambridge Court apartment complex parking on our yard. Other concerns include the safety issues related to increased traffic in the alley behind our units and the limited access for emergency vehicles. We feel that our property will be devalued by the additional number of units that could be constructed under the proposed zoning changes and by inadequate drainage in the area. For these reasons we ask that you deny the requested zoning change.

We urge you to take the following main concerns into consideration: Regency South, our area and the Cambridge Court apartment complex, are already experiencing a shortage of parking spaces/areas with vehicles being parked on currently vacant lots and, in case of 2501 Longmire, even on the lawn. With the increase in units planned for Regency South, this situation will become a severe problem. Because of the high volume of traffic on Longmire Drive, parking in front of our units is dangerous. 2. Vehicles parked on both sides of the narrow access alley will obstruct needed access for emergency vehicles. 3. In addition, vehicles parked on both sides of the alley and the increased traffic through the alley will create a traffic hazard for all concerned. 4. The proposed density of units, leaving practically no soil to absorb water, the increase in surface water will add to the already existing drainage problem adjacent to 2535 Longmire, Longmire Park and the creek, which has flooded Longmire Drive several times in the past. In view of the above-stated concerns, we ask that you deny this rezoning request. Respectfully submitted by: Name Street Address Lot # Signature Z.

Super majority is 3/4 of Council which translates into needing 6 votes in favor to grant the rezoning.
