Single-Family Residential Lot Split Study Built four nice houses sold for 500,000 or more. More Moms/Dads/children. Young families ha�e moved into the neighborhood. ■ My new neighbors are in rny backyard and they always interact with us. 4. Have you noticed any �e�ative neighborhood impacts since the subdivision of this lot? ��}•:, �'rx 53? �� T4r� If ves. what? ■ As mentioned above in #2. To add - the developers should be required to replace even a portion of the trees removed for buildin�. Noise, dust, dirt, etc. in construction. Yes, I know we ha�e to put u� w/ home improvements w but a demolition, tree-razing, and two new houses is a lot. ■ We ha�e lost a wooded area. The house next door to the new lot is overwhelmed by one new house going up there. � The area now looks crowded. � Second home is sitting no[t] fmished and no sign of work being done. 'They are allowing oversize homes to be built for area. Acorn Road has terrible large home built on sma111ot? � Continuing construction in once-sleepy neighborhood. More housing changes traffic, etc. - however, more negative was traffic from group home in neighborhood. � Loss of privacy - trees taken down - I guess that's called progress? � My view in back isn't as nice. � :�3 the ducks and wild life no longer hang out; rny once private backyard now vistas a humongous house and barking dogs. The house builtwas not the one proposed. Neighbors believe it is an eye-sore. + It ruined our view, less privacy, wetland was �'�Iled in and habitat for animals damaged. I think it is a£z�e risk I think approving this kind of building is irresponsible! 'There were a lot of trees destroyed. � As much as I think it was okay for them to do it, the house is kind of a monstrosity and wrecked our view. + More traffic. * Noise, trees being cut down, less deer. � Even scrubby understory has value in terms of birds, bugs, critters, etc. Too bad one lot could not ha�e been maintained as "wild". I also expect run-off issues with �a.in snow to worsen with more homes...more s�rz�e�ious surfaces are BAD. Also, I feel bad {�r the people right next door. Pd feel screwed if I were them. More speeders too! ■ Didn't realize new homes would be so tall. Lot of dust and dirt, but I realize this is part of construction. (Tk�ey did rry� to water and clean up Parkerwhenever they could.) ■ Again, really too soon for fi:]I evaluation. Impacts on �unoff/floading to neighboring properties wi I I not be known ta�J. cor�struc�ion/landscaping is complete and spring �unoff /summer rains occur. Impacts to wildlife, however, were evident as soon as land clearing began. Wildlife (deer, etc.) are now barred £ro� accessing wetlands /oper� spaces from the west. �id�17 passages/cor�ido�s blocked, deer are now being seen on streets and in yards more. �osev�e should explore wildlife corridors and corridor set-aside width splits to insure a 1S to 20' corridor along the south edge of the split would ha�e helped. ■ Short-�e�-� ozsy. Lon�-�erm=Lass of natural habitat to wildlife; quality of extended neighborhood suffered with loss of mature trees & buffer zone; low home-per-acre density. ■ All the trees, bushes were pulled out, grass plowed under on the 3 3/4 acres of land. Not environmentally good - animals, birds were displaced. Shame on Mayor Clausi��g and all the council members who voted for this development. � Reduction of trees, bird life, some drainage issues are apparent - but too early to tell. � Loss of privacy. Increased noise (t�aff�c & construction). ' U�Y! ■ The scale of the houses is too large. They don't fit the neighborhood. And we ha�e another driveway directly onto I-Iamline. ■ People on Haz�k�e ha�e already had two h•,� parties with � 00+ people, loud music, alcohol, etc. Also they all built fences and that �z�l.s flow of backyards. ■ Lights from the house facing �amlxr�e shine into my bedroom, as do headlights from cars e�ting the driveway. Almost constantly, 3 cars are parked outside and a garbage container sits outside 24/7. This is the view from my February 24,2007 Draft 3 ai5
