In consideration of the upcoming zoning meeting, please consider the zoning of R2 or R3
housing. R4 and R5 zoning is absolutely not compatible with the surrounding areas of single
family homes and green space. R2 or R3 is much more conducive to adapting to the existing
homes on New Holland and is also more conducive to retaining a good balance with the
existing green space surrounding the project.
Having lived in projects of R4 and R5 zoning, I can say it was a miserable experience. There
was no privacy, no private space where your neighbors could not see, no quiet or peace since
you could hear EVERYTHING going on around you. Is this the kind of housing you actually want
people to live in??? Would you want to live in an 11' wide space and hear your neighbor every
time they use the toilet?? No amount of insulation can adequately block all sound and if you
have multiple units in the close proximity proposed, it will make for very uncomfortable living.
So...please use common sense and consider the living conditions of R4 or R5. Please consider
the more community friendly zoning of R2 or R3.
Thank you,
Susan Francis
