<br />Please Share Your Comment., Question or Concern: I would first wish to thank all of you for
<br />your service to our city. Working for us,., at the expense of time spent with family and
<br />friends,, is never easy and sometimes, quite a thank les,s, job.
<br />I am writing you all with a concern that has been brought to my attention by a neighbor.
<br />As you all are aware, Pulte Homes, is proposing, a 28 unit housing development on the George
<br />Reeling property at the NW corner of Lexington and C2. My initial reaction was, one of
<br />disappointment and s,adnes,s, at the thought of losing "our woods," to development. We knew it
<br />would someday happen, we have lived here for 21, years,, but still, given the housing markets,
<br />and all, were a bit s,hocked. I was, even more dismayed upon viewing the original plot proposal
<br />showing C2 connected to Lexington., creating, a small highway thru a somewhat quiet
<br />neighborhood. My greatest concern was, to the residents, on the C2 cul-di-sac and the danger
<br />they and their families, would face with no chance of seeing a speeding car coming. This was,
<br />the same concern I had when talk of connecting, C2 surfaced a few years, back. Also severely
<br />impacted would be the property at 2874 N Grig,g,s, which would have the road right in the front
<br />yard.
<br />Shortly after receiving the original plot, a very well thought out revis,ed plot plan was,
<br />dropped off at our home and that a difference. A neighborhood friendly walking path along the
<br />existing C2, connecting to Lexington. Garages, facing away from the streets, where pos,s,ible. A
<br />workable egres,s, and entrance system balancing the new neighborhood traffic flow. And most
<br />impressively, the preservation of so many significant and heritage trees,. And while I truly
<br />wish this was, not hap pinging, Pulte has done a stellar job in this proposed development. 5
<br />new homes, will now take the place of our beautiful wooded view, but I do not know how much
<br />better a job, minimizing the impact of 28 new homes, they could have done. They have managed
<br />to blend a new project into a old, established neighborhood, with minimal negative impact.
<br />In support project, and because it is right next door to me., I attended the March 2, 201,1,
<br />Planning Commission meeting and was, extremely disappointed to hear residents, of Josephine
<br />Road ignore the development, and instead turn the meeting into another attempt to push C2
