HomeMy WebLinkAbout403 Holman Road Bill and Sandy YoungMr. Brown, Per our conversation of today, I am aware of certain activities that are taking place regarding the removal of underbrush, foliage and removal of palm tree trunks, etc. on the Young property. I presented pictures of that activity observed today. Per Mr. McMillan's recent letter to you, we are aware of the Young's interest and desire to split their lot into a subdivision. It is my understanding that the City has already taken action to have the area inspected by the Fire Marshall and there is an Ordinance to be voted upon in December to change the review process to a single review by your department. It is apparently a foregone conclusion that Ordinance will be approved. We are concerned that the Young's have the idea that the approval of the subdivision is imminent and apparent. They are taking private actions that appear suspicious to develop the parcel without approval and undergoing the usual permit process. We request that this not be allowed by the City. We also respectfully desire that the City consider our rights as residents and adjacent homeowners who are likely to be greatly impacted if the City grants approval for a subdivision for the Young's parcel. The alleyway known as Holman Road dead ends in front of our house at the beginning of the easement leading to the Young's and Vincent & Tammy Marino's properties behind us. All traffic flows through that avenue. The community garage and refuse pickup is in front of our house. The manhole is at the same location. The fire hydrant is in front of our house. Our sewage lateral line is at the lowest point in that manhole. The houses behind us use waste sump pumps to discharge to that manhole. We experienced one major sewage backup in our house years ago. To this day, we leave the cap off the lateral clean out which has occasionally discharged into our yard. The water supply and reuse water service connections are not on Holman Road but are in the easement to the Young and Marino's properties. The water main cover is presently broken as it has been broken by truck traffic. It has ugly posts in front of it now. The waste trucks have to back down Holman Road to pick up garbage. We see everybody's garbage cans and all the refuse from the homes behind us until it is picked up on Holman Road. We have to rake and clean it up occasionally as it gets disgusting. Point is, everything evolves and occurs around and through our property. Access vehicles have destroyed our corner post due to the narrow turn at the alleyway and the easement. We've had accidents at the dead-end of Holman Road. Service and other access vehicles use our drive during road blockages. There's no turnaround facilities at the dead-end. Turnaround is usually in our driveway. All the utility service work, i.e., phones, cable, transformer, etc., occurs in front of our house on Holman. Here's the main thing for new construction, all construction ingress and egress is on a 20 foot wide alleyway by super large flat bed trucks, concrete trucks and other supply vehicles. It creates an enormous amount of traffic and dust. The quality and condition of the road deteriorates. Once the subdivision is complete, the road activity does not cease. It reaches a lower but constant level as most homes have 2 to 4 cars, depending on the number of children. To subdivide under these circumstances is an inane notion. This is a low-density residential area at the end of an dead-end alleyway that intersects into a 20 foot wide ingress/egress easement that runs along the south boundary of our property. To subdivide under these conditions is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and violates all manner of City Ordinances pertaining to subdivisions. They are too numerous to comment on in this email. I only respectfully submit that to grant a right to subdivide in this instance would demonstrate a means of granting broad special exceptions. This proposed change, not yet adopted, has already created activities and implied approval to the Young's. Thank you greatly for the courtesy of allowing me to speak with you and for your interest and consideration. It is greatly appreciated and welcomed.
