Re: SUBJECT: H-2024-0019 Centrepoint Apartments - ALT, CUP, MDA
LOCATION: Project is located at 3030 N. Cajun Lane and 3100 N. Centrepoint Way, near the southwest corner of N. Eagle
Road and E. Us?ck Road, in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Sec?on 5, Township 3N, Range 1E.
The Jackson Square Home Owners Associa?on is opposed to this development for the following reasons:
1. Traffic Flow – The addi?on of 295 dwelling units with access down two narrow entry streets, Centrepoint Way &
Cajun Lane will impact the ability of both emergency vehicles and normal traffic to access this neighborhood.
In addi?on, the proposal to use parking spaces along Cajun Lane requiring vehicles to back out into traffic lanes
on what will be a very busy street based on the addi?onal traffic the proposed development will bring will cause
the poten?al for accidents and traffic conges?on to an already extremely congested street and
intersec?on. Cajun Lane already acts as the closest exit for exis?ng commercial buildings at the corner of Us?ck
and Eagle Road with no traffic signal causing significant backups on Cajun Lane and again for people a?emp?ng
to turn onto Eagle Road from Us?ck.
The City wisely rejected a proposed commercial en?ty in the neighboring commercial development based on
these traffic and parking concerns. It seems to us that the same logic applies to this situa?on.
2. Nega?ve impact on exis?ng adjacent neighborhood – The exis?ng residen?al neighborhood will be nega?vely
impacted by this much higher density development. Addi?onal traffic, noise and building height will all have
nega?ve effects for neighbors. The original zoning for this property was for commercial development, as owners
we realized that when we purchased our property. A development with this density would have a nega?ve
impact on the neighborhoods adjacent to it in a way that a well-planned commercial development would not.
We respec?ully request that this request for changes to the development be denied and that the property
involved not be approved for high density residen?al use.
3. Addi?onal traffic on the narrow streets within our development are both a traffic hazard for the current
residents and a poten?al addi?onal expense for repairs and maintenance that would result in higher HOA fees
for residents.
At the very least, accommoda?on for these expenses need to be addressed by the developer. If approved in any
aspect we would request an 8-foot privacy wall of similar construc?on to the one on the west side of the
proposed development would be erected and maintained by the developer. This developer, according to the
plans provided will be construc?ng an eight-foot privacy wall between this development and the single-family
dwellings to the west. Since Jackson Square is a low-density single-family development, it should be afforded
the same accommoda?on.
It would also be appropriate for the developer to pay for any addi?onal road maintenance on streets within the
Jackson Square development that are not maintained by the city.
