Subject: Public Hearing for Planning and Zoning
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing in regards to the proposal to rezone the 9 rural residential lots in Pine Brook subdivision into low density or
medium density lots. Our neighborhood has established a petition that has been signed by many Pine Brook Residents.
However, we were told that a petition was not accepted during the last rezoning public hearing. Is this the case?
We are strongly against this spot rezoning for our subdivision. First and foremost, to our knowledge spot rezoning is
illegal. Secondly, as someone who’s home is personally very close to these lots, I strongly question the ability for our
current neighborhood entrances, roadways, and street parking to be sufficient for the proposed development changes.
With four young children who love to play outside, I am concerned about the increase of traffic. When 9 lots suddenly
house multiple homes/families, I worry for the safety in our neighborhood, especially when both roads leading out from
those homes end in stop signs. When one of the homes near those 9 lots was a parade of homes house, the traffic was
constant and dangerous. I am also concerned because our lift station has already had issues and the demand from
multiple homes on these lots will surely put stress on a system that is already needing work done. I am also curious how
rezoning these lots benefits anyone but the developer, especially in a market where many long‐term residents are
looking for a permanent home.
I know many residents in our neighborhood have the same concerns, as well as the legality of the rezoning. For these
purposes, we have established a petition.
Please clarify if our petition will be plausibly accepted, or if we need to show up in full force.
We look forward to the needs of our community outweighing the wants of developers.
Thank you,
Alexandra Holt
