To: Hastings Planning Commission From: Jan Hanson Date: 6/4/04 Re: Proposed Development Whispering Lane & Crestview I am writing with concern about the proposed development of condominiums at Whispering Lane and Crestview Drive. I was infonned about a meeting of the Planning Commission for 5/24/04 and this would be a time to voice concerns. Upon arrival I was told this project was not going to be discussed. I have received infonnationfrom other concerned neighbors and I would like to share my opinion. Since our property value will be directly impacted by this development, I would like to request the planning commission seriously consider changing the zoning to only allow single family homes on the remaining property at this site. There is enough high density housing in this area along with the school and business developments. It would be appropriate for the planning commission to take a serious look at how the high density zoning and development is no longer appropriate for this area. Yes, I knew of this zoning when we chose to live here. I do believe, however, there are situations that require considering the impact of this type of development no longer being appropriate. I am aware of proposed development along Pleasant Drive near the hospital area which will also increase traffic and density to this area. That also should be taken into consideration and also support the fact that on our street, single family homes would most appropriate. I appreciate the city council following the process of infonning residents and allowing residents to share concerns. However, I don't think the opinions of the residents are always taken seriously. I have recently been infonned that there is a possibility this project will be on the June 14th agenda. It would be important to know prior to arrival as to whether this will be discussed. Thank you for your consideration to this neighborhood. Sincerely, CfuV M Jan Hanson fiuJ- b(~ IJj
