From: Rich Deanan To: Emily Weber Subject: Drengson Development/ Richard Degnan Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2020 4:31:40 PM Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Emily, I have been informed the city has in their possession preliminary plans for the development adjacent to my property. This project will effect my property in many ways and I need to be informed to stay on top of this. This morning I received information and a plot/ plan view of the project. I want to get my concerns out in the open about this proposed layout in it's infancy. I am not apposed to this development but will bring to your attention my concerns as follows. #1 Land requirements per unit. Currently 1 acre required. I am apposed to the reduction unless surrounding properties can benefit from installation of needed infrastructure. #2 I am definitely apposed to the location of the retention pond on south, southeast corner of project abutting my property. The existing property already has a drainage problem on the west boarder, effecting neighbors on that end. I do not want those problems shifted to my back yard raising the water table any where near my property causing basement flooding, stench, mosquitoes, private well or septic issues. This issue should be maintained where it currently exist on the property. #3 Updated topographical of the abutting properties as a whole is needed to address the drainage. Not just the development property boundaries. Currently my property is protected by a buffer of vegetation and woodland allowing rain and snow melt to be contained to the existing property of subject. Without this buffer and the clearing of land around this buffer my concern is my property will be at lowest elevation to all surrounding properties including the road, Falcon Ave. Causing my property to flood. #4 This is the time to address the sewer systems in this area. I believe many home owners are unaware the county has made it impossible for them to sell their properties without updating their septic systems. This area would most likely require unsightly mound systems diminishing the value of their properties and limiting land usages within their property. A comprehensive plan of the entire area should be considered before any development is approved. Including drainage and future utility needs. My interest is to protect our private wells in the area from aging septic systems and replacing them with the same. These systems are not life time systems. I would like to see consideration given to the area as a whole. Please forward this message to the city's planning commission and city council for consideration.
