Dear Mayor Wolfe,
The following homeowners and taxpayers object to the proposed zoning and
drainage plat of the land east of Southern Belle Drive and north of
Plantation Drive for the following reasons:
1) Any use of the land beyond its natural state will impose seve~
~ on the property and safety of the homeowners along Stresm G2 in
Shadow Ridge ~nd along Grapovine Creek in Northlake Woodlsnds and
Creekview. Homeowners have already experienced riding water up .to the
easement llne. If construction is to proceed, proper drainage must be
addressed to prevent flooding and l~nd erosion.
2) For over two years the city h_~s ~ existing drainage erosion
problem~ along Stream G2 by lot A20 as well as between lots A26 _~nd A27.
Some work was done at both sites, but the problem of repeated cave-ins
between A26 and A27 was just patched because the cost of repair was too
expensive. The concern is that the city will also have this attitude towards
any new problem~ caused by the increased water drainage.
3) ~nsi~- If structures are to be built on this plat, we would support
zoning of at least SF9 with the following considerations: lots should have
rnlnlm,~m, Of 8 ~ side yards, 25 ft. front yards, 20 ft~ back yards and only
35% lot coverage on 9000 sq. ft. lots with mlnlm~m~ of 1850 sq. ft. living area
homes.
4) Aesthetic problems between perimeter two-story houses along
Southern Belle D~ve and lot A20 with unlandscaped wooden fences along
the southern property border, any view of alleys or trash c~sns by existing
homeowners, and any cement ret_~inln~ walls or views of drainage pipes or
culverts is unacceptable. The alternative to retainin~ exis//n~ property
value is one story houses with a 6 f~ landscaped brick wall along berderin~
lots between the two subdivisions. After all, Plantation Drive is the
subdivision entronce.for Shadow Ridge Estates and any views of the
aforementioned items would be an eyesore.
5) ~r4me oroblems are associated with alleys. Bordering existing
homeowners chose front entry versus alley access due to this concern.
Homes along the west and south exposure should not have s!!eys.
6) Prevent possible costly downstream erosion dsmage from proposed
drainage and fence pests on a southern retaining wall of Stresm G2.
