Subject:{External} 25SANZON-0030/ Willowstone Variance
Dear Rammie Hammonds,
As a person who lives really close to the affected area, I am deeply opposed to this request. I see
no justified reason for a variance from current Planning and Zoning requirements.
I believe the decrease in minimum setbacks will negatively impact the whole community. Loss of
open space will impact the visual appeal and overall character of our neighborhood.
It will also limit the potential for green spaces, which will affect environmental sustainability.
Adequate setbacks are also important for fire safety, which is a crucial aspect considering that this is
Texas and we often have really strong winds and hot summers.
I believe the proposed changes haven’t been thoroughly considered in terms of their impact on the
community, including potential consequences like increased traffic, parking issues and effects on
existing infrastructure and value of existing properties.
Best regards,
--

Mr Hammonds,
I'm reaching out to you in regards to the notice of hearing to consider request for a variance you recently
sent in the mail to those of us it affects in Sanger Circle. I live and own one of the properties on
Montecristo. Not only do I wholeheartedly oppose houses being stacked even further on top of one
another, but our subdivision has almost none of the amenities that were promised whenever we bought
our home. How about yall focus on taking care of the residents you already have instead of the
thousands that are going to come in and overburden our already extremely stressed roads and utilities
i.e. sewage, garbage, water etc. Marion Rd is in desperate need of a full workover and this would set that
back even further. I love this town but it seems like all the city politicians want to do is bring in more
money at the expense of what little morale we still have.
