HomeMy WebLinkAboutStatus of Ordinance 693 STATUS OF ORDINANCE 693: Summary of 202 email opinions re Granada
Proposed 89 'Poll Brother Homes on 84 acres.
1. Developer bought this property with this commercial zoning, ---
residential r z i n leave commercial i of no more
than five story Office, Hotel& Conferencing, Retail, Health& Fitness Club, Educational,
Government Uses that is 500' from any residential (with parking lot 100' —and
prohibiting retail 600' from the corner of Dove and FM1938 (Davis). Your reasons
included:
• That Fidelity has been a good neighbor -
® they go home at night,
their children don't crowd Westlake Academy,
we don't have to have further burden the fire and police, etc. etc.
• Tax Revenues for Town better for a campus type commercial development than
more homes
• Impractical that anything other than some type of campus facility such
as Fidelity would be interested in this particular tract.
• Fears adverse impact on Westlake Academy
• Strong belief that smaller Toll Brothers' homes would depreciate the value
of the other"custom"homes in Westlake
• Green Space Concerns The most common concern was 89 new homes on a very
small number of acres ---- increasing the number of Westlake residences by almost
one-third.

2. Alternatively, if Property Rezoned to Residential, Ordinance should be:
✓ Maintain Property Values residences should be limited to 75
residences on the 84 acre tract, arguing this would keep the value of the
homes greater than $1,000,000—or at least kept them at $1,000,000
Developer should still be held to the same landscape and design
standards as originally proposed—including the stone wall, fountains, home
designs, landscape outside the walls, etc.
Developer should still be required to pay $800,000 to Westlake
Academy as originally proposed.
