Meeting Held with Developer

Today at 3:15 there was a meeting with Tim Marroquin in the City Planner's Office regarding the proposed Stone Creek Development.

Marroquin advised us that the plans call for 192 apartment units, one, two, and three stories in height situated on 10 acres of the 18.8 acre parcel. The remaining 8.8 acres would be developed into the commercial strip with loft apartments on the northern end of the property and townhomes located on the southern edge of the property, south of the Loma Verde Drive intersection. He advised that there would be ample walks and greenbelts throughout the property.

We brought up several issues that such a development would have on us. Discussed were the impact on property values; increased traffic concerns; potential increase in crime; as well as drainage concerns. The high-density of the proposed total number of units was also discussed.

We advised him that we do not want apartments or apartment homes as a part of the development and that we would continue to oppose and challenge any change in the zoning if that were the case.
