Dear Sirs,
RE: Proposed changes to the Suring Creek North Amended Overall Development Plan.
t#ODP110001.
1 received a letter from your department concerning changes for the above mentioned plan from its
current limitation of L-M.N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zone district being subject to Type
2 review and public hearing to allowing all L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zone uses.
You asked for input. I am sorry I missed the meeting, but I had activities with my children and was not �y
able to make the meeting. As a resident that owns a house directly west of this property, f supported the
limitations to keep the development limited to single family and duplex structures. I have four children,
our home is directly adjacent the open space, path and railroad tracks, That limitation preserves the
nature of the current neighborhood and fits with the open space. I am opposed to changing the coning to
include the multi family and business uses as that will potentially have a more negative influence on the
current neighborhood. As a structural engineer that works local in residential and small commercial .
development, I see first hand how neighborhoods can be influenced for business and apartments_ I know
there are no guarantees in how a development turns out, but I do know that maintaining single family
neighborhoods hi leu of business and multifamily will be healthier for the existing neighborhoods. I
would much rather have a neighborhood similar to the one directly south across Drake.
It is my hope that you will leave the planning designation as it is with the limitations.
Sincerely,
Geoff Robinson
