Importance:High Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged January 21, 2025 Hi Bric, Can you please forward my email to Plan Commissioners before tonight’s Public Hearing on Jackson’s Grant Village-Phase II? Thank you. Jill H. Meisenheimer To: Plan Commission RE: Public Hearing Docket No. PZ-2024-00221 PUD: Jackson's Grant Village (JGV)- Phase II. In 2019, when the Jackson Grant Village PUD was proposed, Republic Development sought to purchase the 1.67-acre Cunningham home site to include in their PUD, but the homeowner would not sell. In 2023, after the owner died, a controversial daycare project was proposed on that property, but was not approved. Now, in 2025, the Cunningham site is proposing additional townhomes, like those already planned in the JGV PUD that surrounds it to the west, north, and east. Initially JGV was supposed to be an extension of Jackson's Grant. Jackson Grant and Jackson’s Grant Village were going to be one neighborhood. Republic, the developer, said that residents in Jackson's Grant could vote if they wished to share amenities with the residents of the proposed Jackson’s Grant Village. The Jackson’s Grant current residents voted not to share their amenities with the next to them to-be built JGV, because they felt that already their amenities were too crowded. And although adjacent, Jackson’s Grant and JGV became two separate neighborhoods. Sadly, JGV has only one amenity, a one-story clubhouse, for the currently approved 19 single-family homes and 52 Townhomes. With the net gain of 12 Townhomes in the Cunningham property Jackson Grant Village will still have only one amenity, the club house. 1 The Cunningham property proposal should be an opportunity to include some needed reasonable amenities for JGV residents. I request that you discuss possibilities for additional reasonable amenities before voting on this proposal. Jill H. Meisenheimer Jill.meisenheimer@outlook.com 2
