Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
Subject: Clarification to the Record – Cherry Blossom East (H-2025-0030)
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
I would like to clarify two points in the objection letter submitted on my behalf for the August 21, 2025
hearing.
First, the developer does hold a valid, recorded 20-foot easement across the Fusselman property to NW
4th Street. My objection is not about whether access exists, but whether the proposed use/design of that
access is safe or code-compliant.
Second, the developer at one point verbally suggested we grant rights over our driveway in exchange for a
combined access. No written offer was ever presented, and we declined. We have never been unwilling
to work with the developer—we simply have not received any clear, fair, written proposal to consider.
For over 25 years, both our home and our south neighbors have relied on this access for municipal and
utility necessity. Fire, EMS, sanitation, delivery, and utility service vehicles have consistently used it
without issue. Even with staff recommending removal of the proposed fence, the current plat still leaves
no safe separation of the two driveways, narrows usable width to about 11 feet, and provides no
compliant turnaround along a dead-end exceeding 300 feet. These conditions compromise emergency
response and essential services.
My objection is therefore based on safety and City Code compliance, not on whether an easement
exists.

Thank you for including this clarification in the record.
Sincerely,
Margie Williams
