Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842 Re: Project Number 08-500151 Rezoning request for 34.06 acres located at 11800 Jones-Butler Road Dear Lauren Hovde, We are developing Great Oaks Phase Two as a large lot, quality single family residential neighborhood which borders this 34 acres where the map you sent me Wednesday now shows R-4 Multi-Family zoning. I believe this is a recent change from what was previously being considered. I strongly oppose this R-4 zoning for this 6.49 acres. It is inappropriate for this 6.49 acres bordering our single family home development to be zoned R-4 (apartments). Normally the City requires some type of gradation between densities. This also befuddles me because part of the 6.49 acres is presently a storm water detention pond. Generally we have been supportive of recent rezoning in the neighborhood and would be so in this case if this area was to be considered for a use more compatible with our single family residential development. We wish to offer our future residents and neighbors the highest quality of life in these new communities and we believe this is the primary goal of the City as well. In this case a small change now can create a better quality of life for all of us in the future. Please consider making an adjustment to a more compatible use for this area. ~incerely yours, `! U .

It is inappropriate for R-4 usage to be adjacent to R-16 as requested. Therefore we request the zoning request be denied or the R-4 be changed to either R-1 or R- 3 Thanks, Steve Arden BrazosLand Realty 1101 University Drive East, Suite #108 College Station, TX 77840 979/846-8788 x 24 Steve Arden BrazosLand Realty 1101 University Drive East, Suite #108 College Station, TX 77840 file://C:\Documents and Settings\lboyer.CSTX\Local Settings\Temp\XPGrpWise\48A9391... 8/21/2008 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION r ~ GUEST REGISTER • MEE°I7NG DA ~---~' DDR SS s. ` 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
