subdivision

Appealed the Planning Commission's PUD approval, arguing that errors regarding tree surveys and secondary structure setbacks resulted in unfair impacts to adjacent property.

Represented the property owners and asked the council to uphold the Planning Commission's professional review and approval of the Hinckley Estates PUD.

Expressed concern that foundation excavation and 8-foot setbacks would destroy the green wall of trees along the property line.

Shared historical context about neighborhood covenants and expressed distress that the proposed PUD setbacks do not align with the spirit of the original neighborhood agreements.

Suggested that a simpler 80-foot lot subdivision under standard zoning would avoid PUD complications and better match the lot widths on Floribunda Drive.

Spoke in support of the PUD, thanking the city and commission while noting the family's long stewardship of the land and the desire to pass it to grandchildren.

Thanked Gene Hinkley for preserving the land for 20 years and expressed happiness to see it pass to her grandchildren.

Asked whether the new homes would fit neighborhood height and setback rules and expressed concern about short-term rentals (Airbnbs) popping up in the area.

Expressed concern that a 6-lot scenario would extinguish existing right-of-way access easements and questioned the tight 4-foot setbacks and driveway placement relative to property corners.

Objected to the 6-lot concept study, noting no one in the neighborhood wants six lots, and asked for clarification on civil engineering drawings.

Expressed deep affection for the Hinkley family and their land but questioned whether a PUD creating a pocket park with 4-foot setbacks was appropriate, warning it would destroy the mature forest canopy and privacy.

The neighbor clarified the location of trees and the intent to install a city-required asphalt road.

The neighbor expressed concern about the short notice for the hearing and the lack of a recorded easement for the proposed driveway.

A neighbor across the street expressed confusion about the process, noting that the developer had already begun construction before the public hearing took place.

A neighbor expressed support for the project but noted that the HOA is requesting a waiver for sidewalk requirements on the south side of the street to maintain the neighborhood's character.
