I am writing to the Community Development Board and City Commission to formally oppose the R-B rezoning of
the Hanson Lane parcel under Application 25775.Having lived in this neighborhood for over twenty years and
served as the former President of the Harvest Creek Homeowners Association,I have seen first-hand how our local
infrastructure is already strained.This proposal represents textbook spot zoning by introducing five-story,forty-five-
foot tall mixed-use buildings directly adjacent to established single-family R-1 and R-2 homes. Such an extreme
jump in density is entirely inappropriate for this location,which lacks the transit and services necessary to support
high-intensity development.
The transition of Hanson Lane into a through street toward Emily Dickinson Elementary is a significant safety
concern.Without concrete traffic calming measures,this will create a dangerous speed corridor for our children and
pedestrians.I am also deeply concerned about the lack of meaningful transparency regarding this annexation.The
timeline feels rushed,and the public notice has been insufficient.I formally request that the city extend the public
comment period and commission a comprehensive traffic and environmental impact study before any vote occurs.
Approving R-B zoning here would set a damaging precedent for the entire Fowler corridor and negatively impact
our surrounding property values.R-A zoning is much more appropriate,as it satisfies the Community Plan while
respecting the existing character of our neighborhood.
