Re: Request for Reconsideration on the Wells Street Project
5-[)F}t;
Dear Mayor and Council,
Please consider this letter a request for reconsideration of the Wells Street
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Annexation, Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use
Permit. We have spent a considerable amount of time reflecting on the hearing and the
presentation that we made to you, and have realized that we failed to present a
compelling argument to you to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan. We have
completed additional research and would like the opportunity present what we believe is
strong argument ~o amend the Comprehensive Plan.
We would ask that you provide us with the opportunity to explain how the proposed
project will fit in with the existing and proposed development pattern (Medical District)
in the Eagle and 1-84 area. We are now better equipped to discuss the need for housing
within the proposed Medical District and questions concerning vacancy rates in the area.
We also feel a need to re-address the traffic issues, and wish to provide you with
additional data concerning the amount of traffic that will be brought into the area if it
develops per the proposed amendment vs. the existing Comprehensive Plan and the
proposed medical district.
A great deal of time and effort has been invested in a good faith eftcni to this project and
we cannot let this project drop without asking for reconsideration or further direction
from the Council. We continue to believe that this is the right location to build higher
density housing as it is near existing jobs and transportation corridors just as is suggested
in the written text of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Please allow us the oppOliunity to
explain why this property will be beneficial to a medical district (if adopted) and the
entire Magic View area.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any questions
please contact me anytime at 353-2515.
Sincerely,
Dave McKinnon
CMG
