Dear Gentlemen:
We will unable to join the residents of our neighborhood to appear at
Thursday night's Planning & Zoning meeting because of a previous commitment,
but we do join them in protesting the proposed plans to construct 15 new, small
residences on small lots on the undeveloped property between Glade and Laura
Lane, at Southwood.
The additional traffic which this large number of houses would generate
would certainly create a safety issue for Glade (already too-much traveled) and
Laura. The number of cars parked at nighttime in the streets in this neighborhood
are already a problem, and with increased activity from more people and more
cars, it would be a worse problem. We understand that the street leading from
the proposed development would mean another cut into Southwest Parkway not
at the light, but west of the light. Another traffic and safety concern.
The concentrated number of residents in such a small area would certainly
not be consistent with the existing neighborhood. We feel certain that no one in
the neighborhood is against developing the property, but must ask, "Why can't
the homes that are put there be on lots the same size as the already existing
homes?"
We will appreciate your forwarding this message to the appropriate people
on P&Z.
Sincerely,
Ayres &Jo Ann Cermin
1500 Laura Lane

Dear Planning and Zoning Committee Members;
It has come to our attention that yet again someone is seeking to put as many as
15 houses on a small property in the middle of an established neighborhood. Once
again we would like to voice our objections.
That many houses in such a small area would greatly diminish the integrity and
esthetics of our neighborhood. It is very likely that houses of a size that would
accommodate 15 houses on that small property would be targeted at the student
market. When we purchased our home new in 1974, we bought it because it was
in a neighborhood of single family homes near an elementary school and the high
school. All of the homes were of a similar size with comparable lot sizes. Over the
past few years, many of the homes which have been sold and re-sold have been
purchased by students or by people who lease them to students. Parking vehicles
on the street, noise, and trash have become persistent problems.
The property at issue is very near South Knoll Elementary School. The traffic at
Southwest Parkway/Glade and at Southwest Parkway/Southwood Drive is already
heavy. Based upon the number of cars we see parked at the student-occupied
homes on the 1800-2000 blocks of Southwood Drive alone, the potential traffic
hazard to the students going to and from South Knoll alone should make this
request untenable.
We question whether the 30+ year-old sewer and water pipes in the area would
accommodate an additional 15 homes.
We respectfully ask that you deny any request for replatting or variances that
would allow more than 3 or 4 single family homes to be built on that property.
Please do the right thing
--the same thing you would want for your own neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Sandra and Larry Peck
