HomeMy WebLinkAboutWRITTEN RESPONSE - Taylor, Tim - 333 Bare - Site PlanResponse to public hearing
To whom it may concern:
I Vicki Wickham, who lives at 355 Bare Street, would like to state my opinion
about the construction in my neighborhood. The said property is located at 347 so. 4th
West, in Rexburg, Madison County, Idaho, and more particularly described as follows:
Commencing at the Northwest corner of Lot 3, Block 1, Klingler Addition
to the City of Rexburg and running thence South 100 feet; thence East 330
feet; thence North 100 feet; thence West 330 to the point of the beginning.
I feel that the apartment complex being proposed will interfere with the privacy
of not only my family but the surrounding families of our neighborhood. I do understand
what it will do for the value of my home and others but this only affects the fature. Let's
talk about the present. I am a single parent with not only financial concerns but concerns
for the safety of my family. I realize that this is going to be married college housing, but
this does not prevent the opportunities for burglary or other unforeseen problems. Is there
any security in the works? What is the building structure like? How high will this
structure be? What will the expected occupancy be? What about landscaping? Will there
be a privacy fence? (10' cinderblock) Will there be an increase in my property taxes if so
how much?
I am not opposed to progress and I realize we need the housing for the college,
but in the same sense we need to take into consideration the effects this is having on our
own local people. Are these changes going to make it financially impossible for families
of low income to maintain or even purchase homes of good location to provide for our
families? I personally chose the location of my home for convenience and in case of
emergencies I am still able to help my children even if my transportation is unavailable
do to unforeseen circumstances beyond my control. Would it be possible to receive a
proposed drawing of said structure in language that I can understand? This would be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Vicki Wickham
