My name is Robert Duddock. I'm an attorney in town. I live at 38 50 overbrook drive with my wife Valerie James who has sent in some comments to the commission on this project, we've lived there since 1986 My wife was a school teacher in Richland district one for 41 years at Gibbs Middle School I want from the beginning maybe thinking much like a lawyer I know what's going on your your limited scope here today But I do want you to know there is substantial opposition To this project at 3800 overbrook drive to put on 31 townhouses or apartments call them What you want? We live four blocks of four houses down From this this would cause substantial traffic problems in Rosewood and Kilburn, which is half a block on Kilburn till you get to Rosewood I leave for work about seven every morning the traffic's already bad understand From Michelle that there was a bad accident again This week as I understand it a lot of traffic problems 31 new apartments would cause Substantial water problems, which also already exists with sinkholes on overbrook drive Now they're probably four or five Apartment complexes already on overbrook drive. We have done our share and more for for housing In in the area for multi family housing This literally will destroy this neighborhood and this overbrook area and cause very Dangerous traffic if you will if this is allowed to go through so from Jump Street here I just want you to understand as we get started and in any future meetings There'll be a lot of people up here to protest This project it's ill conceived as my wife put in her comments to this commission and please understand that And going forward this is a boondoggle, and I hope this commission gives it various consider Strong consideration and ultimately that you do not approve this project to go forward. Thank you. Thank you, sir Good afternoon commission. My name is Whitney Denton and I'm here to speak in regards to the development on overbrook and super Mr. Bowers and his developers Submitted wanting to annex based on chapter 4 page 32 of the Rosewood 25 year plan with walkability And improved to maintain tree canopy as well as closing donut holes What he left off in that was chapter 3 page 2 image 3.2 Which is 927 Super Street, which is a brick single family dwelling His build at Montgomery five townhomes look like Cold War condos They don't fit the character of the neighborhood. This will not either He also didn't address chapter 3 page 12 speed was an issue 11 years ago when this plan was written We had a pedestrian struck Where his Cold War condos are at Montgomery and super or excuse me Montgomery and South Kilbourne this weekend a pedestrian was struck lack of sidewalks there was a deficiency in pedestrian accessibility in the Rosewood 25 year plan 11 years ago it also lists a lack of sidewalks a Substantial tree canopy decrease when you enter South Kilbourne This is going to take out no less than a dozen Mature trees not to mention the 14 acres on South Beltline, which the plan specifically says is the bulk of our tree canopy They've already taken those out Chapter 3 page 16 talks about the number of crashes on Rosewood at South Beltline in addition to plowing at South Kilbourne I come home now on Beltline to Devereux or either South Kilbourne and I drive through Shandon and Heathwood because I won't turn left off of Rosewood onto South Kilbourne because I'm going to get hit at this point Also, I asked where he was going to put the dumpster corrals when he presented at the meeting There's no way a dumpster can be lifted in those four corners I think they want to use roll carts, which would mean that little stretch of sidewalk He's proposing we'll have 31 trash cans Every Thursday and 62 on the second and fourth This is not a welcome development. This does not fit the character Thank you. Thank you My name is Melissa crook and I live at 922 Super Street I've been an owner there since 2006 and I'm concerned about the size of this proposed Development that it doesn't fit the character of the neighborhood and that it doesn't sort of fit in with Maintaining property values for the owners of homes that are in the neighborhood as an earlier Comment that there are already a lot of multi-unit housing developments on overbrook But super begins to be more residential near the park there is a concern about parking for the ballpark Valencia Park and The children's safety around that area as well as the numerous Incidences and accidents that have been reported as well I must also sort of questioning that as I read the the plan for the mixed-use Area that moderate density development is what I understand is being said and I think 31 units Exceed sort of what is a moderate density the plan does say for residential development that allows single family To family and townhomes and medium-scale Multi-density dwellings, so I'm concerned about the size fitting into this As well as the plan goes on to say that buildings should be located close to and Oriented towards the street these all turn into the parking lot So thank you for your time. Thank you. I am Michelle Huggins and thank y'all for letting me speak As the president of the South Kilburn neighborhood association, we have been visited quite frequently It feels like with new builds such as what is being described now this particular area cannot withstand Approximately 31 roll carts being out on Super Street, and I don't believe they would be able to be on overbrook specifically one reason why is there is only a Partial area there when people put their Trash cans out it makes that two-lane road go into a one-lane road This is something we visit quite often people do park on right in front of their houses There's only approximately five to six houses from overbrook and to Montgomery on Super Street This affects quite a lot of driving through there In regards to The only the biggest lot that's across from where he is proposing is a church parking lot The last time I spoke with the preacher. He said that they would not be allowed to park in their yard I mean in their parking lot. He has he quoted during our last meeting that there were 62 parking spaces When I counted the spaces that were on his diagram there was 52 Where would all these extra people go when individuals have company come over to see them? They would have nowhere to park where are they going to typically go they'd go to the church parking lot More than likely they would probably be towed because that would not be their assigned parking spot Being as someone who has been around quite a few new builds large community developments It is horrible what parking situations happen occur when there's not enough parking spots I realize that this is about annexation But we also have to look at the overall how it will affect our community and this particular area does need to have a traffic study Because it will affect us. We have had just last week. We did have an individual hit And it's because he's wanting to put a sidewalk in that's just going to be a short-term sidewalk because there won't be a Continuation after his little sidewalk area is there. It's not going to continue down the road They're going to be walk still walking out into the street. I Appreciate your time. I hope y'all have a good day. Thank you. Thank you Is there anyone else who'd like to speak? Do we have any other public comments from staff? I did I do want to acknowledge for the record That we did receive a couple of letters in advance Just so exhibit a was forwarded to you all yesterday You got an email from Lou Ann Cook and also an email from Valerie James and Robert Dudek and then since the Digital emails went to you. We had two other emails, which you all have hard copies of up there We had an email from Dan Prince from today So just that's exhibit B if we could just acknowledge that for the record Are there any Additional questions from the Commission's I guess we'll have to propose those sorts of staff at this time if you have any questions I do have one is there Plans to do a traffic study at this time the request before you is the Zoning for the property I Am not certain if a traffic study would be required by the city traffic engineer for the development but it is certainly something that could be at the discretion of the developer or To some extent you as a planning commission when this project would come before you for site plan review If if there's a development on the site You don't have an application at this time But if there was a development that required site plan review. Yes Additional questions Hearing none, then I would like to entertain a motion call for a motion at this time Is there a motion? zero second Is there any further discussion? And all those in favor let it be known by the sign I I any opposed Motion carried Next item the next item on the regular agenda is case number 10. This is a zoning map amendment case number ZMA Dash 2022 dash 0 0 1 7 at 6 21 Amherst Avenue This is a request for recommendation to rezone the property from residential to family district in the Shandon community character protection area Overlay district to neighborhood center quarter district NAC It's the applicant present present for this particular agenda. Would you come forward please? State your name and also provide a brief summary of your request and please limit your presentation to 10 minutes And speak it to the microphone. Please sir. Thank you Thank you chairman Davis and the members of the Commission appreciate your time today My name is mark Tim's with Garvin design group the architect hired by Jeb Zoller a client for this project He is in a due diligence phase for this project Therefore, we are studying this analysis and what came through that due diligence period thus far is the distinct nature of one of the two parcels due diligence purchase involves two parcels one on facing Divine Street just north of this and The parcel in question the Amherst Street property If you'll notice on this particular map that parcel is in a unique position in its zoning Distance off Divine Street. It's the one Rd parcel that literally kind of jumps into that commercial zone Reaching into what is kind of a precedent that's been set for a depth off of Divine Street as such It lends itself to some rather unique complications That affect not just the property on Amherst, but also the adjacent parcel which again is a package purchase for our client Starting with the Amherst property. There's a currently a residential structure on the site. It is inhabitable residential section of the house the bathroom and kitchen Sunk down through into the crawl space and it is not a livable structure on that side The wall on the south side is actually And falling away from the main structure with both myself a structural engineer and a contractor with the property and Do not feel in terms of the value of replacement or renovation It is Something we would recommend to our client that they undertake it the value of that structure It is less than the value of what it would take to bring it up There is a small piece of the structure a porch that's been enclosed on the north side where a commercial An engineer themselves is using it as a as an office space again not compliant with its current zoning The to understand this property also have to look at the Divine Street property because they've been utilized together Over the last 30 years. I actually worked across the street from this for a number of years and Saw this activity then it still maintains today The rear yard of that house is basically the parking lot to the Divine Street property and To understand that is to know that the Divine Street property is really over Built for its land if it were not using the backyard of the Amherst site It would not be able to park cars off-street It's not a requirement on this zoning, but certainly the neighbors and Divine Street benefits when that can happen It's not feasible for that lot. So There in lives are the basic tenure of our request combining or to Shifting the residential lot to NAC, which again consistent with The kind of datum line that exists off of Divine Street would allow for a Combining the two lots to one NAC zoning and would allow us to make a Design that can be beneficial not only to Amherst, but also to Divine Street We could then integrate those two properties together and really be a good fit for both streets We've been working with the neighborhood And their stakeholder ship. We continue to we will continue to do so plan on presenting to them in front of On Monday, I know they've sent you a letter as well Our intent is to pursue that as far as it can go To be friendly neighbors to them Jeb our client would intends to be a tenant in the building on Divine Street So it's his best interest to work through that he currently is in a small space across Divine Street now And work down the street from it. He lives in the area. So he's a very invested stakeholder in this as well Bottom line was we see the best benefit for everyone is to build consistency with the Divine Street Quarter with the NAC zoning all the parcels in that area are that except for that one North of that kind of datum line and we know From our initial studies that we can really improve not just the Amherst site, but the Divine Street site to through that Certainly available for any questions Thank you. Are there any questions from the commissioners that we have for the applicant or staff before we go to public comment Thank you. Thank you Now we'll first hear from the audience and anyone who'd like to speak Please state your name clearly into the microphone for the record and limit your comments to two minutes if you come forward, please Madam chair while we're waiting for people to come up I did want to acknowledge that there was a letter received today that you have on the desk From the Shannon neighborhood council.
