Peckham  MF-18 – could be rental units. Area homeowners are okay with owner-occupied  64% of residents live on quiet cul-de-sacs in a quiet neighborhood  Security issues  Noise pollution  Light pollution  Non-residential traffic  Loss of property value. When we purchased our homes we were told it was all single-family  Ritchie is in direct conflict because they control the HOA  100% protest from County Hollow property owners  Miller responded they have 14 days after MAPC hearing to file official protests  Ken Curry, 727 S. Peckham Ct.  Put wall on north end and leave it all SF-5  Jeff Schrier, 13235 E. Gilbert Ct  First page of HOA covenants reads “to protect property values  Dave Edwards, 13223 E. Gilbert Ct  Problem with the time the MAPC hearing is held. Most property owners can’t leave their jobs to attend  Lisa Koch 12618 E. Lincoln Ct.  Increase of light pollution and traffic along 127th  Increase of traffic in Woodland Lakes  Houses are not selling now because of the construction  Max Weddle, 862 S. Zelta Ct.  Where is the wall for Woodland Lakes? We need something between SF-5 and highway. We’ve been beat up on the north of of our development and this will harm it more  Eric Schmidt, 816 S. Glenwood Ct.  The pool was supposed to be at the center of the neighborhood, with houses all around. It won’t be safe being next to GC  Dave Edwards, 13223 E. Gilbert Ct.  We don’t want to lose our lake. It will be behind the wall and on the commercial side. It is enjoyed every day by property owners  Chris Thompson, 767 S. Peckham Ct  Doesn’t want to lose the park and pond to the commercial side of the wall  More traffic along Gilbert  Entering the neighborhood and having to drive by an ugly wall everyday  Colleen Harms, 13007 E. Laguna  Just because it isn’t going as planned for the developer, he shouldn’t be allowed to change it in the middle of development and negatively impact the current property owners  DAB Member questions to Lindebak  Pond was originally part of SF-5?  Yes. The proposed wall along Gilbert provides more security. We thought it would be more cohesive to leave the pond on the commercial side  Can pool and playground be moved?  No. Wall would go to the north of pool and playground. Pool is already built and can’t be moved  Would you consider leaving the MF-18 parcel at SF-5 zoning  No. It wouldn’t be marketable  Page |4  What is your vision for MF-18 parcel?  Assisted living or duplexes. Maximum of 20 units  Are there currently any business interests for either parcels  We don’t have anyone on the hook. Nothing will be done until after Kellogg is complete in 2021  Kevin Mullen, Applicant and developer  Understands about the pond. It belongs to the residents and will remain on the residential side  Ritchie takes great pride in our developments  We have always been very responsive  The HOA is being turned over to the residents Jan. 1, 2018  City, KTA and Westar have all taken land for highway improvements  We want to continue to have a nice, quality neighborhood after Kellogg is complete  We change it now to allow future property owners that purchase adjacent lots to the parcels to know the zoning  Dale Carter – Can you delay the MAPC hearing to allow the developer time to meet with property owners to work out a compromise?  Mullen – Yes. I am willing to delay the MAPC and have an evening meeting with 3-4 representatives from the neighborhood Action Taken: Tuttle motioned to defer decision to October 9 DAB meeting. Seconded by Jesri.
