Subject: Bountiful petition
Sonya,
Sorry this is so late in the game… but I am attaching a petition asking to include a CMU fence with the 25 foot set back to
the CC property in the bountiful request. A 25 foot set back is NOT enough to buffer R-8 (about a 4.15 units per acre) to
a CC property. If this recommendation can be made we support the proposal.

,me most of us are trying to enjoy our back yards. We are also not guaranteed that it will even develop into a dance
studio or guaranteed that the studio will remain in business or outgrow the facility. Anything permitted within "CC"
could end up there. An appropriate sound and light buffer between the properties will minimize any potential issues
between such significantly different land uses.
We the undersigned ask that you recommend to city council approval of the plat with the stipulation that the fence as
shown above be built at the beginning of development of the lot abutting the existing residential.

Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners,
Those of us that are contiguous to the property being platted as the Bountiful Commons Subdivision by TMEG
Properties, do wholly support the plat as proposed. We commend TMEG for working with us to make this development
a welcomed, integrated part of our community.
That being said, we are making one request. We would appreciate a fence between our properties and the "CC" area
being platted. The existing wood fence is located approximately 40 inches inside our property line. Multiple studies
show wood fences do not block sound. A concrete or CMU fence reflects sound. Since this property is to be "CC" that
abuts residential, we feel that it would be appropriate to request a concrete or CMU fence with a mix of evergreen
(conifers) and deciduous trees planted on the "CC" side of the property. We are also asking that the fence be built on a
three foot tall berm as measured by the existing ground at the property line. The reason is that the existing ground
drops dramatically from the back of the existing fence to the property line (variably from 2 to 3 feet). We feel the fence
height should be the same height or slightly higher than the existing fence. Each property owner would be responsible
for removing their existing fence and extending their side fences to the new concrete fence should they choose to do so.
P&Z as well as City Counsel have often required a similar buffer for sound and light between commercial and residential
properties.
Construction of this type of buffer is often required at the beginning of the development of the property, we would
appreciate that it be built at the beginning of construction on the property to block at least some of the
construction sounds and then continue to do so once businesses move in. While we understand that currently we are
only platting the property tonight, we feel that it would be appropriate to somehow attach this requirement to the plat
so that there is no questions about what would be required of anyone choosing to purchase and build on the property.
We would not want anyone purchasing the property to be surprised by this request. This is not an inexpensive request
and anyone looking at the property would need to factor it into their budget.
