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. Ustick Road, in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 5,
Township 3N, Range 1E.
The Jackson Square Home Owners Association is opposed to this development for the
following reasons:
1. Traffic Flow – The addition 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 addition, 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 additional
traffic the proposed development will bring will cause the potential for accidents and
traffic congestion to an already extremely congested street and intersection. Cajun
Lane already acts as the closest exit for existing commercial buildings at the corner of
Ustick and Eagle Road with no traffic signal causing significant backups on Cajun Lane
and again for people attempting to turn onto Eagle Road from Ustick.
The City wisely rejected a proposed commercial entity in the neighboring commercial
development based on these traffic and parking concerns. It seems to us that the same
logic applies to this situation.
2. Negative impact on existing adjacent neighborhood – The existing residential
neighborhood will be negatively impacted by this much higher density development.
Additional traffic, noise and building height will all have negative 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 negative impact on the neighborhoods adjacent to it in a way that a well-planned
commercial development would not. We respectfully request that this request for
changes to the development be denied and that the property involved not be approved
for high density residential use.
3. Additional traffic on the narrow streets within our development are both a traffic hazard
for the current residents and a potential additional expense for repairs and maintenance
that would result in higher HOA fees for residents.

At the very least, accommodation 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 construction 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 constructing 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
accommodation.
It would also be appropriate for the developer to pay for any additional road maintenance on
streets within the Jackson Square development that are not maintained by the city.
Sincerely,
Jackson Square Home Owners Association
