High Density: EAH Investments proposal of 72 houses is a high density plan, one that is incompatible with the

15

Our position has always been 60 homes with 3 or

more acres of green space.

16

The community would welcome and embrace an R-20 subdivision on this

property. 58-to-60 homes would have far less impact on the quality

of life for an already congested area and infrastructure.

17

Ultimately, the decision on the Rezoning of Z-43 must be based on what serves and

benefits the greater good of the existing residents of the surrounding community and

what will have the least negative and irreversible

impact; and that is to maintain the R-20 zoning of this

property, keeping the number of homes at 58-to-60.

18

Please vote to DENY this Re-Zoning. Please keep this property R-20 so it is

compatible with the surrounding subdivisions and allow the community to welcome an R-20 development that will have far less negative impact on

their quality of life.

Thank you!
