5/22/2023 <br />Lennar Zone Change <br />Please consider the following and let me know why this shouldn't be addressed before <br />approval; <br />I'm Jim Sweazey. My wife, Sharon and I own the property on the south west side of Cleveland <br />that intersects the proposed second phase of this development. <br />We feel that this preliminary plan cannot be approved without consideration of the impact of <br />the next phase. <br />These planned unit developments have a mixture of housing types but phase 1 only has the <br />larger home sites. <br />Our concern is if these smaller high density buildings are not in this phase then where will they <br />be located? It would be irresponsible to approve this application without considering the <br />development as a whole. <br />Personally our issue is locating them on all three side of our property. If this would greatly <br />impact our property values and quality of life. Zoning ordinances are meant to keep this from <br />happening. <br />This loss of value can easily be demonstrated by builders own action including this <br />development. They will not build high density housing near single family homes without a <br />separation with ponds, trees, or sometimes larger lots. I have searched the existing <br />developments in the area and only found one near the elementary school. This makes good <br />sense. It maintains the value of single family home lots that often require a premium charge. If <br />developers won't do this around their own property they should not be allowed to do it to <br />others. They would be taking my property value and profiting by it for themselves. <br />We don't fault them for proposing this, corporations are in business tb make a profit but it is <br />the duty of the city to protect citizen's rights. <br />Much of the planned multilevel townhouses would be close to and tower over my current <br />home. From my experience these often becomes rental property. <br />Page 153 of 430 <br />
