Hi Karen,
Thank you for your comments. The City Clerk will include your email in the public record as testimony for this
project. Written testimony is not read out loud at the public hearing but is shared with the City Council for their
review and is available for the public to review in the project file online on the City’s website. You’re also welcome
to testify in-person at the hearing if you’re available and would like to. I will verbally state in my presentation that
we’ve received a letter from you in opposition to the proposed zoning change.
Thanks,

Re: Pollard North H-2024-0037
Good evening. My name is Karen Ernest. My husband Gary Panter and I own the property at 5456 Old
School Lane. Directly to the west of us are Kyle and Jade Enzler and to the east are Bob and Bonnie
Schwenkfelder. Directly to the south is the Brighton development under consideration.
We oppose a zoning change to TNR and the plan that was submitted. In 2019, we received assurances
from the City and Brighton that the area between Waverton and our property would remain R8 zoning,
which is congruent with the zoning to the east. The proposed plan is not an appropriate transition from
mixed use to our large approximately 5 Acre parcel or to low density in the future. The proposed zoning
change is not in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of us or the community.
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM R-8 TO TN-R.
