Hello,We urge you to reject the proposed project #25238 at the intersection of South Third and
Little Horse Drive in the Sundance Springs Subdivision.
The proposal still does not comply with the PUD, master plan, covenants or developmentguidelines of the subdivision. Most notably, in our view, the developers propose two, two-story
buildings totaling 10,000 square feet, while the legally binding documents permit no more thanone, single-story building of 5,000 square feet. The subdivision also prohibits a patio with
extensive outdoor seating and a project designed as a citywide destination.
With proposed parking for only 51 cars, we are also concerned that overflow parking in ourneighborhood is inevitable. The subdivision, after all, prohibits on-street parking.
The developers continue to ignore the requirements set out by the Sundance Springs
Subdivision. In doing so, they put the character of our neighborhood at risk. We recognize thatthis lot was set aside for neighborhood commercial space. It was not, however, set aside for a
project of the scope and size that the developers have proposed.
The developers have given no legitimate reason why the requirements of these bindingdocuments should be ignored. The financial viability of the project is certainly a concern for the
developers, but ensuring that the project yields a healthier return on their investment shouldnot come at the expense of the greater community. Again, we urge you to reject this proposal.
Sincerely,
Crystal and Nick Ehli
