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.
As homeowners in the Jackson Square development my wife and I are opposed to this development for the following
reasons:
1. Traffic Flow – The addi?on of 279 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 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.
Sincerely,
Bruce and Kathy Dickinson
