Minutes Planning Commissio: 4/24/85 Allen Eddy, 7612 Glenbrook Ct, was against the project. He felt that tYie neighborhood keeps their yards up very well and that a homeowners' association was not necessary. Paul Schroeder, 7806 Meadowbrook Ct. spoke to compromises. He said the first meeting they had with Mike Harris was in February at which meeting Mr. Harris indicated they would be willing to make changes and address concerns of the existing neighborhood. The outcome of all meetings is just that the floor plan size has been increased and the number of units educed from 86 to 79. He stated that a fact sheet was sent out to the homeowners from Mr. Harris and it was not exactly accurate. It addressed the sale price of the existing single-family homes as being one price while in fact they are another. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Schroeder if his main concern related to the density proposed vs that of the existing homes. Mr. Schroeder indicated density is a big concern. He asked for a show of hands from the audience in suppor_~t of this comment. At least 90% of the audience responded in support of Mr. Schroeder's comment. Diane McCrary, 7494 Hillsdale Drive, stated that five different famili.~as have moved up and down the street to accommodate new family needs. This shows the neighborhood community feeling. She urged denial of the application. Walter Bolling, 4771 Hillcrest, was opposed to the project because of the High Density Residential. He stated that his CC&Rs require that any dwelling unit be the same or substantially better than the ones in existence and didn't see how the City could allow the proposed project. Ed Kinney, 5493 Greenfield Way, spoke in favor of the project. He indicated that his neighborhood expressed concern with the condominiums proposed at Black and Hopyard and they have proven to be a positive development in the neighborhood. He would not like to see someone deprived of owning a home because of their lower income. A. E. Lafayette, 5137 Foothill Road, indicated that his property is not. in the City limits but does border it. He has allowed people to go through his property to construct swimming pools and other things. He lived in the area before the exiting homes were developed, had no problems with R-1-6500 but didn't believe anything any higher would be appropriate. Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, spoke in favor of the development, stating that the City needs housing which is affordable. He didn't believe that approval would set a precedent as high density has gone next to medium density in other parts of town. Katie: Kearney, 7675 Hillsdale Ct., stated she asked Mike Harris to grade the area flat and he stated he couldn't do that. She was opposed to the Harris' development. - 5 -
