A <br /> My name is Judy Fredrickson. I live at 2507 Kelly Avenue. <br /> In general, I have a positive reaction to this development for 2 reasons: <br /> 1. Private Homes vs. Commercial -They are proposing single family homes vs. apartments or a commercial <br /> development. I believe that Shadywood is already very busy and has not worked well for commercial use (few <br /> businesses along 19/15 have survived over the years and much space is empty (former Snyder's Drug store for <br /> example). It is not a shopping destination due to the heavy traffic on both roads as it nears the intersection. I <br /> much prefer private homes for this location and they are in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood. <br /> 2. Quality of Builder/DevelOper-The builder/developer for this planned neighborhood is Charles Cudd and <br /> through the years, I have toured several of their luxury homes and they do a beautiful job. IF they plan to <br /> build these smaller homes with the same quality level, it would be a positive enhancement to the residential <br /> surrounding area. <br /> REZONING OF KELLY AVENUE LOT: I do have a concern with the rezoning the 2525 Kelly Avenue parcel as it is <br /> currently zoned single family residential and if I am correct, 2525 Kelly Avenue and is not part of any area <br /> designated for higher density. This parcel is in the middle of a neighborhood that is also zoned single family <br /> residential. <br /> As you well know, the Kelly Avenue neighborhood has had to attend countless Planning Commission and City <br /> Council meetings to protect the single family nature of the Delaney property adjacent to Kelly Avenue that <br /> was the site of many proposals over the last 18 months—most recently a 24 home project. On two different <br /> occasions during this same time period, the City Council has come down on the side of protecting Kelly Avenue <br /> and maintaining the single family, 1 acre per lot residential zoning for the Delaney property. I am concerned <br /> that if you approve the rezoning of 2525 Kelly Avenue that this will set a precedent for future requests by <br /> Mr. Delaney and he will want to try to fit multiple smaller homes on his property instead of the 1 acre, <br /> single family development that we fought so hard for. The site plan seems to show that only 3 of the 7 <br /> homes are to be built on the Kelly parcel which currently has 1 home/acre zoning. <br /> i <br />
