Please do not disenfranchise future residents of any development on the proposed 10 acres for
5532 Fowler Annex. This site requires an automobile. Because of this, a development needsto provide guaranteed spots for each unit along with guest parking. As a caring community,
we cannot ask a 1st year nurse, or a shift worker to arrive home after a night shift and have noguarantee of safe and close parking to their unit. Seniors on a limited income, need to know
there is plenty of parking for their visitors and possible home health aides.
There is only a planned grass easement between Buffalo Run and 5532 Fowler, so residentswould not be able to spill over into their parking lots (and try to cross snow banks to get to
their apartment!). There is no parking on Fowler. The field to the south is yet undeveloped, butany future developments there would be prioritizing their paying residents, not vehicles from a
neighboring property. Meadow Creek (abutting the property on the east) needs to retain itspocket neighborhood appeal. Meadow Creek's community of mostly single-family homes will
not absorb hundreds of additional vehicles from 200+ units trying to find daily parking.
My request is to fully support this "affordable" development and reduce anxiety for MeadowCreek residents as high density begins to border them on the West, by not utilizing parkingdeep incentives, but to provide more than adequate parking within the 10 acres for anappropriate number of units.
Thank you,
