Hello, my name is Dean Kidd. I am a resident of the Vantage Pointe Subdivision
and the HOA President. We are a small subdivision with 16 estate style homes
on 1-acre lots. Our subdivision is located south from the crossroads of Eagle
Road and Lake Hazel Road with the planned Skybreak Subdivision utilizing our
northern border. There are proposed portions of the Skybreak Subdivision
directly adjacent to 5 of our residences within Vantage Pointe Sub. These
residences have their own concerns and are being addressed individually.
The first item I wish to emphasize is we do not oppose community growth. We
understand the valley is growing and we are accepting the idea of new neighbors
provided there is thought put into how new subdivisions are approved regarding
transitions.
It is my understanding the Skybreak Subdivision is comprised of over 350+
dwellings with many lots approved for R-8 density and greater. The transition
from 1-acre estate lots to higher density subdivisions is where I believe more
thought needs to be considered. We need to use more consideration with better
transition zones between subdivisions like Vantage Pointe and proposals like
Skybreak. This is not taking in consideration for the added dust, and lifestyle
interruption that will be encountered.
I have attended informational meetings with the representative for this developer
and I feel we are not being told the whole truth. I also feel the developer will do
what meets his needs not considering the optimum for our subdivision. I ask that
you do not approve this proposal without consideration for better design
amendments to a less aggressive transition.
