Subject: Water's Edge Development
I have received information that the acreage directly south of my property
is to be a developed to include as many as 5 patio homes per acre. This
development is adjacent to other properties where there is an average of
one home per two acres. This has been a rural area forever.
I further understand that the larger estate homes will be adjacent to
Hearthfire and will include open space. Why is that?
When we all bought our homes in Serramonte, we were told that the
property to the south would not be developed into high density housing,
but apparently that is no longer the case with the city planning
department. All our property values will go down, but our taxes will stay
high.
Why can't the high density housing go to the center of the new
development and leave the outside for trails and open space. We already
have a road there and it is used heavily by walkers, joggers and people
simply walking their dogs. It's a wonderful place for both Hearthfire and
Serramonte.
I am resigned to the fact that the land will be developed, but please
reconsider how you are going to do it.
