SHE LIVES AT 35 36 40TH STREET.
SUBJECT OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED REZONING FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
DEAR MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, MY NAME IS MARIA EL MENDOZA AND I AM A HOMEOWNER AT 35 36 40TH STREET IN ROSEMONT PARK EDITION.
I'M READY TO STRONGLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE OF THE PROPERTY.
LOCATED AT 35 37 30 NINTH STREET J PARCELS NUMBER 9 8 2 1 0 9 8 2 1 1 AND 9 8 2 1 2.
FROM A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO A HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DI DEN HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS MY FAMILY AND I CHOSE TO PURCHASE A HOME IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WAS THE THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND BALANCE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PD ZONING REPRESENTS, IT OFFERS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE, PROTECTS PROPERTY VALUES, AND PRESERVES THE CHARACTER AND LIVABILITY OF OUR AREA.
A CHANGE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING WOULD FUNDAMENTALLY ALTER THE LOOK, FEEL, AND FUNCTION OF OUR COMMUNITY.
AS A HOMEOWNER, I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS.
OUR LOCAL ROADS ARE ALREADY BUSY DURING PEAK HOURS.
INTRODUCING A LARGE MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEX WILL INCREASE CONGESTION AND WITH MORE CALLS, WITH MORE CARS COMES INCREASED SAFETY RISKS FOR PEDESTRIAN CYCLISTS AND CHILDREN.
TWO, NOTICE IN PRIVACY, A HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WOULD LIKELY INTRODUCE MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS OR APARTMENT COMPLEXES THAT OVERLOOK PRIVATE HOMES, YARDS AND OUTDOOR SPACES.
THIS WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR SENSE OF PRIVACY AND PERSONAL SECURITY, PARTICULARLY FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN OR ELDERLY RESIDENTS.
PRIVACY IS NOT JUST A PREFERENCE, IT'S PART OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT MANY OF US CHOSE WHEN WE INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY.
UNDER THE EXPECTATIONS PROVIDED BY THE EXISTING ZONING DESIGNATION, A HIGH DENSITY PROJECT DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WILL BRING NOISE AND ACTIVITY ERODING THE PEACEFUL PRIVACY AND QUIET ENVIRONMENT.
WE VALUE THREE STORM WATER AND DRAINAGE ISSUES.
OUR AREA ALREADY EXPERIENCES OCCASIONAL DRAINAGE PROBLEMS DURING HEAVY RAINS.
ADDING MORE SURFACES LIKE LARGE BUILDINGS AND PARKING LOTS WILL WORSEN STORMWATER RUNOFF INCREASING THE RISK OF LOCALIZED FLOODING AND EROSION.
[00:10:01]
THE CURRENT DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS NOT DESIGNATED TO COM, UH, TO ACCOMMODATE THE VOLUME OF RUNOFF THAT A HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT WOULD GENERATE.NUMBER FOUR, IMPACT ON PROPERTY VALUES.
REZONING AND INTRODUCING DENSE HOUSING SO CLOSE TO ESTABLISHED HOMES COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON PROPERTY VALUES AND MAKE THE AREA LESS DESIRABLE FOR FUTURE BUYERS.
NUMBER FIVE, STRAIN ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
OUR SCHOOL'S EMERGENCY SERVICES AND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE WERE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE LEVEL OF DENSITY.
ADDING MORE RESIDENTS WITHOUT ADEQUATE UPGRADES WILL PUT ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THESE ESSENTIAL SERVICES.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU DENY THE ZONING CHANGE AND PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DESIGNATION.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORTS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S DONE RESPONSIBLY AND WITH FULL CONSIDERATION OF THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVE IT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
UM, DR. HANEY, UM, HE'S AWARE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING IN THE AREA.
HE, UM, HAS ALSO, HE WAS JUST APPROVED.
AGAIN, I WAS TELLING MR. SIMON HIS SUP WAS JUST APPROVED, UM, ON THAT SAME ROAD, THE ONE THAT WE APPROVED LAST WEEK OR WEEK BEFORE LAST MM-HMM
SO, UM, HE'S AWARE OF ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS AVAILABLE AND THE CAPACITY THAT IT CAN HOLD IN THAT AREA.
I CAN, I FEEL, I MEAN I CAN UNDERSTAND THE WAY WE, BUT IF THEY WAS TO BE ZONE OFFICE, IT WAS BUILD A BIG OFFICE COMPLEX TO BE THE SAME THING THING.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU BUILD AN OFFICE, WHO'S TO SAY THAT SOMEBODY AIN'T GO BUILD A FOUR FIVE STORY OFFICE BUILDING.
RIGHT? AND UM, AND YOU'D HAVE HAVE MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES IN THERE THAT WOULD BE MORE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAN, THAN RIGHT.
I I MEAN THAT'S YEAH, SOME RIGHT NOW FOR OFFICES ONLY, RIGHT.
SO IF THEY GO IN THERE AND BUILD A BIG OFFICE COMP, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY WILL, BUT, AND ALSO KEEP IT IN MIND THAT WE WILL MEET IN PRE-DEVELOPMENT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN START CONSTRUCTION.
SO ALL EXPERTS WILL LET HIM KNOW WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO AND WHAT HE CAN'T DO BEFORE HE BREAKS GROUND IF IT IS APPROVED.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK AGAINST? ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK AGAINST? OKAY, MOVE ON TO CASE NUMBER R 25 DASH OH SEVEN.

REPORT.WE WILL HAVE A P AND Z, UM, MEETING JUNE 2ND LED BY MR. BATON.
AND HE ALSO HAS TO UPDATE WITH YOU ALL ABOUT A ZONE CHANGE.
WELL, I'M GONNA BE, UH, I WON'T BE HERE FOR THAT ONE.
UH, WE ARE, UH, EXPERIENCING ANOTHER, UH, PROBLEM WITH OUR ZONING MAP.
WHEN WE ADOPTED IT, WE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE CHANGES, UH, BECAUSE AS WE WORKED THROUGH IT, WE FOUND OUT SOME, SOME OF THE ZONING WASN'T WORKING THAT LIKE WE DID FOR PLEASURE ISLAND.
THIS TIME IT'S IN, UH, WHAT'S THE, UM, UM, RIGHT OFF SAVANNAH IN FIFTH STREET.
SAVANNAH IS FIFTH STREET RIGHT NOW.
IT IS NOW COMMERCIAL, BUT THERE'S NOTHING BUT HOMES WITH A FEW BUSINESSES, BUT THERE'S NOTHING BUT HOMES.
SO ARIES AND I WENT AND WE, UH, DID A WINDSHIELD SURVEY OF IT AND, AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
AND IT JUST, WHAT BROUGHT THIS ABOUT A LADY WAS TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE THAT WAS FOR SALE, BUT THE BANK WOULDN'T, OR THE LOANER, UH, WOULDN'T LOAN HER THE MONEY BECAUSE IT WAS IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND WE DON'T ALLOW HOMES IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ANYMORE.
SO THEY WORKED THAT OUT AND, BUT WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THESE CHANGES, UM, TO, TO ACCOMMODATE THE, THE, THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE SITTING THERE RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'RE GONNA OUTLINE IT AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK, COMING BACK TO YOU REAL SOON WITH THE MAP AND TELLING YOU EXACTLY ALL OF THE, THE, THE, THE THINGS AND THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO, UH, MAKE THESE CHANGES AND THE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING.
[00:20:01]
PART OF IT OUT OF COMMERCIAL ZONING AND PUT IT BACK TO RESIDENTIAL.IT WAS ALWAYS, THE OLD ORDINANCE ALLOWED RESIDENCES TO BE BUILT IN A COMMERCIAL AREA.
SO WE STOPPED THAT NOW AND THEN WE KNEW, WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE JUST LIKE FOR PLEASURE ISLAND.
SO WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES ON THAT AND WE'LL GET BACK WITH YOU REAL SOON BECAUSE, UH, WE JUST HATE FOR THAT LADY NOT TO AB BUY.
AND IT WAS, IT IS A NICE HOUSE WE MADE FOR HER NOT TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A HOUSE AND, AND BECAUSE OF, OF MISTAKE, WELL, WITHOUT A MISTAKE, BUT SOME CLEARING UP THAT WE NEEDED TO DO.
WELL YOU, THAT'S, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THAT, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON HERE, WE'VE FOUGHT THAT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
THE, UH, PEOPLE WOULD COME AND WANT TO BUILD A HOME IN A, IN A, IN A HEAVY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM
WE, WE'D TELL 'EM, LOOK, YOU KNOW, YOU BUILD THIS HOME HERE AND SOMEBODY COMES AND BUILD A PIPE YARD NEXT DOOR TO YOU.
AND THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT IF THERE WAS A DAMAGE OVER 50%, THE LAW, THE AUDIENCE SAYS OVER 50%, IF IT'S DAMAGED, YOU CANNOT REBUILD THAT HOUSE.
SO THE LOANERS DIDN'T WANT TO LOAN HER THE MONEY BECAUSE OKAY, IF YOUR HOUSE IS BUILT, I MEAN THE FIRE DESTROY, GOD FORBID, BUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY, SO YOU CAN'T, YOU BOUGHT THE HOUSE NOW YOU CAN'T REBUILD IT.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO, UH, RECTIFY THAT.
SO WE'LL BEGIN BACK WITH YOU REAL SOON.
MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT? SO MOVED.
