Mr. Siddoway:
Please forward this e-mail to the Mayor and City Council Members so they can
review for tonight's meeting. Thank you.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
On behalf of the Vienna Woods Homeowners Association, Inc. Mr. Lynn Cundick
and I met with the Leeshire Developer Barry Tepola. Vienna Woods has
approximately 226 homes and is located accross Locust Grove street to the
south east of the proposed development. We presented a list of concerns to
Mr. Tepola. First and foremost on our list was a request that the 6000 sf
lots be increased to 8000 sf. Mr. Tepola has refused to meet this request.
Accordingly, the Board of Vienna Woods cannot give our endorsement to this
subdivision.
Mr. Tepola did comply with the majority of the other requests we had upon
our list and has represented that he will include the attached in the
conditions of approval for the subdivision. We represented in our
negotiations with Mr. Tepola that if he substantially satified our concerns
we would consider not affirmatively opposing the Leeshire Application.
Because he did in fact substantially comply with these other requests, the
VW homeowners association will not activiely oppose the pending application,
but will take a neutral position, i.e., neither endorse nor actively oppose
the pending application..
However, the individual members of VW Woods, especiailly those who live near
the proposed development have serious concerns, about the proposed
development. One primary concern is the addition of office space along
Locust Grove. During the neighborhood meeting the persons attending
discussed some limitations on the type of uses and limiting the buildings
that were to go in this area to under one story. The additional conditions
proposed by the developer do not address these concerns.
Nothing contained in this letter should be (1) taken as discouragement to
the individual members of Vienna Woods Homeowners Association from attending
the meeting before city councilor sending in their comments; or (2) taken
as a postive endorsement of this development.
sincerely,
Tom Dvorak
Vice President/Treasurer
Vienna Woods Homeowners Association, Inc.
