To the Community Development Board and City Commission, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the
proposed R-B rezoning for the Hanson Lane (Annie Street) parcel, Application 25775. As a homeowner who has
lived on Farmall Street for nearly a decade, directly adjacent to this area, I am deeply concerned about the radical
shift this would bring. R-B zoning, allowing for 45-foot, 5-story buildings, is completely out of character with our
established single-family R-1 and R-2 neighborhood. This feels like textbook spot zoning. I walk and bike through
this exact area regularly with my children who attend Emily Dickinson Elementary, and the idea of Annie Street
becoming an unmitigated through-street, funneling high-volume traffic directly towards our school, fills me with
dread. It will create a significant safety hazard for our kids and all pedestrians. This area simply lacks the transit and
services to justify such intense density, and allowing R-B here sets a dangerous precedent for the entire Fowler
corridor, threatening the very fabric and property values of our community. Please consider the profound impact this
will have on our quality of life and the safety of our children, and instead, maintain the R-A zoning consistent with
the community plan and surrounding development.
