Nearly all residents in the Tallyn’s Ridge Community are completely opposed to the addition of multi-family housing that will cause traffic and safety problems, create even more problems with school capacity issues, destroy local wildlife habitat, and potentially lower the property values of the existing community. Our board has previously met with the developer to discuss multiple / possible modifications to the proposed PUD and in all instances our modification requests were not accepted or an alternative middle group offered by the developer. At this time it is our desire to reach out to you and the commission with the following modification requests:  Request an additional street connection to Old 146th Street in order to allow better access and connectivity and more options for residents and emergency vehicles and school busses. Also this would reduce the risk factor of traffic surge during morning and afternoon rush hours that will negatively impact safety for children since students walk to and from the school buses in the mornings and after school.  Increase in the proposed lot sizes that immediately backup to the existing Tallyn’s Ridge Development. As currently proposed the width of the proposed lots would create a minimum distance of 10ft between the new homes which would directly back up to homes on the perimeter of the Tallyn’s Ridge Development. This is dramatically inconsistent with the current architectural design and layout of the Tallyn’s Ridge Development  Lastly elimination of the multifamily / dual family homes as this type of housing is inconsistent with current zoning of all surrounding developments and certainly not what our homeowners believed would be built on this property based on the current zoning when we all purchased our homes in the past two years. As a homeowners group we urge you to disapprove the proposed rezoning without modification. We are not opposed to compromise, yet we don’t feel as if the development group is making any compromise that would allow this community to blend well with its neighbors. Thank you for your continued service and support of our communities. Best regards, Robert J. Auster President Tallyn’s Ridge HOA
