My question is — what is the size of the 2525 Kelly Avenue parcel? If it is 3 acres, then 3 homes is fine by <br />me. If it is one acre for 3 homes, we are completely changing what the property adjacent to it and that <br />parcel currently is zoned for and I would like to see what the builder's response would be if he was asked to <br />rethink the development and maintain the Kelly Avenue plat as single family, one acre lots and put the <br />smaller homes with .25 acre lots on the Shadywood side? They could cluster smaller homes around a <br />couple of nice homes on the end of the development. <br />DEFORESTATION AND RE -GRADING OF KELLY HILLSIDE: I am concerned and want to hear more about the <br />environmental impact of this development due to the deforestation and re -grading of the Kelly <br />hillside. Concerns need to be addressed as to the potential that this leads to erosion, flooding, loss of habitat <br />and unsightly views of houses instead of woods. In addition to the greater density, the hillside site has an <br />elevation change of over 20 feet which will likely need to be regraded, thereby eliminating virtually all of the <br />woods that are now present on the property. With all of these trees removed, this can really change the <br />character of this entire neighborhood. This quiet, tree lined street of homes could now be looking up at the <br />backs of a lot of homes just like people, not usually their most attractive side). <br />The Kelly parcel is steeply pitched so that it is not well suited for development of multiple homes. I would <br />like to know how they intend on doing this project without clear cutting the entire property? Can they <br />somehow avoid doing this? <br />Thank you. <br />Judy A Fredrickson <br />612.916.6084 <br />2507 Kelly Avenue, Excelsior, MN 55331 <br />
