Comments:
You chose where to locate your roads. You sealed your own fate
when you chose to put that road there when you can’t put a house
on that side of the road.
I can only imagine what that’s going to look like with those homes
super high.
If you had rock problems in the road, what makes you think that you
won’t have rock problems on the lot?
My concern—what is that going to look like from the backside? If you
cut a big house… everybody who drives by Summithill will be looking
at a very tall house, and there’s no way that will go over well with the
citizens.
Playing devil’s advocate--they could put a lot smaller homes that
don’t conform to the rest of the neighborhood.
What is the plan b if the variances are not approved? It seems to me
that you’d just put it where it doesn’t look as good.
The big question is going to be how it’s going to look like from the
rural viewshed. If you move these house forward you’ll need to have
a buy in from the existing homeowners.
In this situation, I think you have to get complete buy in and
agreement.
Select the house based on the topography. Fit the houses to the lots,
not the other way around.
These kind of lots are going to be very difficult resale lots; they are
going to lower everybody’s property values. I’m glad you’re trying to
work through this. Any home built on a road like that is going to end
up decreasing in value. I’d rather have houses closer to the street in
the neighborhood than Providence Road.
Is it possible to bring in more fill and make the 60 foot setback work?
I know walls are super expensive to build, but they would make the
houses fit in better with the community
A 30 foot wall along Providence would look horrible.
If I was the homeowner, I would want to see what house they are
putting there. I’d have to see specifically on each lot what’s going
to go there.
b) RZ16-002, Hopewell Road/Vickery Crest Tract, Donegal Lane
To rezone from AG-1 (Agricultural) to CUP (Community Unit Plan) to
develop 50 single family homes on 63.57 acres at an overall density of 0.79
units per acre and a concurrent variance to increase the maximum lot
coverage from 20 percent to 50 percent for each individual lot
Comments:
Small lots next to big lots is never a good idea.
When you have a new subdivision going through an existing
subdivision, the new subdivision shouldn’t be anything less than what
the existing subdivision is. The new subdivision should be equivalent
to Vickery Crest.
I don’t think this plan will go very far. There are a lot of questions to
be answered. This is a shot across the bow. They want to see what
they can get approved.
If you put similar sized house on smaller lots, that’s going to be a
concern.
Why can’t they shift it right 150 feet, and give them the same buffer
that you guys have.
I would do the whole thing AG-1 and put the houses in the middle.
(Board member) does not support R-3.
The end produce should be in character with existing homes.
