I am against a variance which allows this property to be replatted into 3 lots. While I am in support of re-development of the neighborhood with newer homes, it is my opinion that a subdivision into 2 lots is a better solution when considering density, traffic, and nearby uses.

We are against the variance to allow 3 homes on this lot.

Lindsay From: "Jennifer Fredericks" <jennifer@ashfordsquare.com> Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:58:11 -0500 To: <Ihovde@cstx.gov> Subject: Lot at Churchill and Lincoln Hi, I am the president of the College Hills HOA and a local real estate broker and I would like to strongly discourage the city from allowing a single lot on Lincoln to be replatted into three lots. There is already too much density in that neighborhood and it overflows into College Hills and the surrounding streets. The houses are usually built as three or four bedroom homes which means there will be three or four cars (minimum) that won't fit in the driveways because there generally are not garages or driveways adequate to hold that capacity of vehicles. This means people will be parking in the street which is a nuisance and danger to pedestrians and other drivers. Churchill is already narrow and there is no parking on Lincoln, so it means Churchill will be overflowing with cars. It also presents a problem to emergency vehicles if they need to get down the street. The requested variance does not meet the city's standards for minimum frontage of 50' which makes me question why the city would even consider the request when they've gone to such trouble to implement standards in the first place. Please deny the variance. Thank you. Jennifer Fredericks Jennifer Fredericks, Broker 979.777.4299 cell Ashford Square Realty LLC 2801 Earl Rudder Fwy S.

I want to express my dislike of this idea. I do not feel this is in the best interest of the neighborhood or of the College Station residences. The concentration of traffic in the area is high and the parking is an issue with out the addition of 12 more cars. I also feel that the older neighborhood dictates the larger lot size as it is now. Please deny this variance request. Quint Foster 1007 Walton Dr Foster Stained Glass 2801 S.

We already have a severe problem with the homes across the street on Nunn and do not wish any more rental issues. I believe the number of lots and increase in population density is too great for that small of an area. In addition, I would like to know how you are going to address the parking on this street. As you know, several tenants in one small area is tight enough, but during Friday night parties or football games the parking, noise, and traffic puts an undue strain on the neighborhood, police force, and other emergency services. As you may know, the everyday traffic on Lincoln is severe. It is very dangerous to make a left turn onto Nunn from Lincoln, and it is difficult to make a right turn onto Lincoln from Nunn. With the number of TAMU buses run along that route and stopping at that corner, and the additional people turning and coming onto that street from Churchill will make a bad traffic area worse, and in my opinion, would need a stoplight to be corrected. This of course, means additional expense for the City. These are all problems that can be avoided by a simple denial of the expansion of the population density in that neighborhood.
