As a final demonstration of how seriously the locality will be changed, two photographs <br />from the backyards close to the east end of the building show how the area looks today. In <br />Figures 3 and 4, if the building was built as planned, there would be no sky visible in these <br />photographs. <br />Figure 3. Imagine this photo with a building blocking Figure 4. If built, the building will come about to the <br />the entire sky. The essential character of the area is pine tree in the center of the photo, and will be <br />altered but definitely not improved. almost twice as tall as that tree. <br />Our location is clearly different from other PHS locations <br />Why would anyone think such a massive building could be built in the middle of a <br />residential area? To get answers to questions like this, we undertook an analysis of the 36 <br />facilities that PHS has listed on their website (www.preshomes.com). The details of how the <br />analysis was conducted and the results are presented in Appendix A, Tables 1 and 2 with <br />supporting documentation. Briefly we examined Google Earth, Bing, and county GIS aerial <br />photographs to assess the proximity of these 3- and 4 -story buildings to single family homes <br />(SFH). We measured from the closest wall of the PHS buildings to the wall of the closest SFH. <br />First we looked at which facilities had SFHs with abutting property lines and measured <br />the distance to them. We found: <br />1. For all the PHS facilities, the average (mean) distance to the nearest SFH was 644 feet. <br />2. For PHS facilities with at least one SFH abutting the 3- or 4 -story properties, the average <br />(mean) distance to the nearest SFH was 164 feet. <br />3. For our neighborhood and the proposed building, the 70 -foot set back from the property <br />line yields a 110 foot distance to the nearest SFH (i.e, building to building). <br />Shorewood Drive.
