Re: Appeal #25769 of Application #25238
SUBJECT: The Second Application (25238) for Lot 2 Sundance Neighborhood Services
My husband and I are near-neighbors of the Sundance Springs neighborhood. We have walked
the trails and sidewalks in that area for over 20 years and have valued the open areas, the
quiet streets and friendly neighbors as the neighborhood developed.
We were aware of the first application to develop the neighborhood commercial property
some time ago—a plan that grossly misinterpreted the aim of the use of the land for this
neighborhood.
The second application continues to violate the Sundance Springs PUD, its Master Plan, and
City development codes and regulations.
We don’t understand why, if the property must be developed, it cannot be required to meet
the needs that were outlined in original documents: some small, quiet service(s) that would be
available to people in the surrounding neighborhood—while preserving the basically rural feel
of the area.
We know that neighbors are concerned, not only that the plans do not meet requirements,
but that it is designed to be commercial property that has a citywide activities.
Please be fair to the owners of homes in Sundance Springs and reject this new proposal!
Thank you for your consideration,
Peg and Brad Dirckx
