f/-'A <br />V <br />city <br />• <br />es <br />• « <br />suit y" i ;■ <br />\D % <br />re five <br />s are <br />om <br />r <br />the <br />and <br />ill <br />We <br />ly <br />we <br />ming <br />e. <br />art of <br />cting <br />iblne <br />for a total of 21.7 acres of open space or approximately 37% of the overall site. . <br />I understand that our request will result in a rezoning. We believe that this request is appropriate <br />due to the transitional nature of the site. With large lot residential to the north and east as well as <br />public properties to the west and potential commercial or high density residential to the south, this <br />site needs to serve as a transition. We believe that the R-IA zoning in combination with a PRD <br />provides for this. In our proposal we have created significant buffering firom the abutting properties <br />yet we have kept the lots with an average density of greater that one lot per one acre of dry land. <br />Additionally as we addressed when we presented our concept plan, we believe there is a community <br />need for lots that are smaller than the typical two acre parcel. We believe that our appUcation is a <br />sensitive method of addressing this need at a location that will have little or no adverse impact on <br />adjoining properties. For these reasons as well as those previously referenced, we beUeve that our <br />proposal would be a valuable addition to the neighborhood and community. <br />We imderstand we will be scheduled to present our plan to the Planning Commission on <br />September 20 and to the City Council on October 11. We look forward to the opportunity to further <br />discuss our application with both bodies.. <br />Smcerely, <br />David P.
