Dear City of Sanger, TX Zoning Board,
My husband and I live at 105 West Holt Street, Sanger, Texas. Our
home and property are right next to the field/lot requesting a zoning
variance. We have lived here for 20+ years and kids grew up here. It
is a somewhat quiet street and the home lots are about 1.5-2 acre
lots and beyond. A few of the families on our street have lived here
for years/decades beyond our 20.
I am aware that we cannot oppose any and all houses to be built on
this site, that decision has already been made. We figured one or two
nice houses…maybe. Five houses is ridiculous. Six to seven is
OBSURD!!!
They might be new but the house on the tiny lots (compared to the
existing, established homes already on the street) will only create
more traffic, LOWER OUR HOUSE VALUES and create noise. Simply
put, the city is squeezing in houses to pad their pocketbooks! There
are too many other lot choices that are much more appropriate for a
row of such houses.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this variance to make smaller lots so that
more houses can be built!!
Please seriously consider this and do not ruin our street neighborhood
out of pure convenience for yourselves.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Dale Roberts
105 West Holt Street
Sanger, TX 76266
