Were you initially supportive, in opposition to, or indifferent to the subdivision of this lot? <br />43% Supportive 14% Opposed 21% Indifferent <br />Whv? <br />Aesthetics <br />■ Improvement to neighborhood. <br />Families/Schools <br />■ Want to support families with children. Single-family homes most likely to bring in families with children. Supportive <br />for single-family homes. Opposed to apts, condos, townhomes - do not fit into environment - look of the street. <br />Fit/Context of Neighborhood <br />■ Originally 16 townhomes were planned for this site, when neighbors banded together to oppose rezoning, approval <br />by the City Council was denied. (City staff supported the rezoning and PUD plan, initially). That developer sold the <br />property and another developer was able to meet setback requirements and subdivide the lot to 4 single-family lots. <br />■ Because the City Council voted to keep the area zoned "single-family" instead of "medium density" (townhouses) to <br />override the Planning Commission action. <br />■ I was supportive of the original plan to build four twin homes on the property, but not of the final decision to build <br />four large homes. They do not fit with the other homes in the neighborhood. <br />■ Originally they wanted to put town houses on the property. I was opposed! I am glad they put single-family homes <br />on the property. They turned out very nice. <br />■ We were extremely happy when single-family homes were built. We were not in favor of multiple housing. <br />■ First they were going to build townhouses then they divided them into four single-family lots. I think four lots were <br />too many. <br />■ Because it was a big lot and can easily [be] subdivided to a single family home. <br />Property Values <br />■ Increase surrounding property values. <br />■ Lovely homes came into the area and helped our values. <br />Other <br />■ Why not? <br />3.
