Hello, my name is Dean Kidd. I am a resident of the Vantage Pointe Subdivision and the HOA
President. We are a small subdivision with 16 estate style homes on 1-acre lots. Our subdivision
is located south from the crossroads of Eagle Road and Lake Hazel Road with the planned
Skybreak Subdivision utilizing our northern border. There are proposed portions of the
Skybreak Subdivision directly adjacent to 5 of our residences within Vantage Pointe Sub. These
residences have their own concerns and are being addressed individually.

The first item I wish to emphasize is we do not oppose community growth. We understand the
valley is growing and we are accepting the idea of new neighbors provided there is thought put
into how new subdivisions are approved regarding transitions.
It is my understanding the Skybreak Subdivision is comprised of over 350+ dwellings with many
lots approved for R-8 density and greater. The transition from 1-acre estate lots to higher density
subdivisions is where I believe more thought needs to be considered. We need to use more
consideration with better transition zones between subdivisions like Vantage Pointe and
proposals like Skybreak. This is not taking in consideration for the added dust, and lifestyle
interruption that will be encountered.
I have attended informational meetings with the representative for this developer and I feel we
are not being told the whole truth. I also feel the developer will do what meets his needs not
considering the optimum for our subdivision. I ask that you do not approve this proposal without
consideration for better design amendments to a less aggressive transition.
