Dear Mr Fuchs:
This afternoon we were informed of a meeting to be held at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday August 29, 2000 in the
offices of the City Planning Department regarding the location of an access road between Cinquefoil
Lane and Cambridge Avenue in the Harmony Technology Park development.
This road would be located to the south of our property line which would most likely necessitate the
removal of the Kendall house and a number of mature evergreen and hardwood trees. It is unconscionable
that a transaction such as this could happen. For the record, we are totally against the access road south
of our property line!
We are extremely upset since there was no written or verbal notification of this decision or even a meeting
regarding this matter. Only today were we informed of the city's plan, by telephone, from the, owner of
the Kendall house.
Originally the developer purchased the Kendall property with the intent of locating an access road on the
separately deeded 2 acres south of the Kendall house. This was acceptable to us since it would not require
the removal of the Kendall house and the trees adjacent to our driveway.
Since the planning of this area is mainly on paper, we see no reason why the road could not be located
on the separately deeded vacant property south of the Kendall house, thus allowing the house to remain
standing and the property untouched.
So that you fully understand our position, WE DO NOT want a road next to our property!
We would appreciate being kept aware of any development in this area. According to your neighborhood
meeting policy, "Only those projects that are judged to have a significant neighborhood impact, or otherwise
would benefit from the input of surrounding property owners, will be required to hold this meeting."
Removal of 1 of the 5 houses on Cambridge Avenue constitutes a significant change to the current existence
of the neighborhood.
To this date we have never received a letter regarding any plans for an access road to the south of our
property line or notification of a meeting to discuss the plans. We are totally appalled at your attempt to
ram projects through without neighborhood involvement, especially when it involves potential removal
of an existing house.
Sincerely,
Richard and Anne Keller
