Hi Tim, January 7, 2019 <br />We initially e-mailed you regarding the letter (dated December 3, 2018) that residents received <br />concerning the Harvest Estates 2nd Addition (Meadowbrook) development. Now that some time has <br />passed and the developer has brought in fill as outlined in the letter, we'd like to go on record with you <br />and the city council with a few comments. <br />1. While the council might like to see smaller lots as proposed by the new developer on 152nd Lane <br />NW, most residents currently living in the Phase 1 portion of Harvest Estates would like to see <br />the original proposed lot sizes adhered to. The existing houses currently on 152nd Lane NW are <br />on larger lots. See Figure 1 below. Keeping the original lot sizes that were proposed for Phase 2 <br />on 152nd Lane NW would keep the spacing between houses similar to the existing houses in <br />Phase 1 on 152nd Lane NW. <br />2. Area "A" as shown below in Figure 1, roughly outlines an area where there are existing 40 foot <br />tall mature trees. If the proposed lot sizes are approved, many of those trees would need to be <br />removed for the construction of the new house on Lot 5. While we understand some trees will <br />need to be removed, we would like the developer to keep as many of those trees in Area "A' as <br />possible. The trees provide a nice wind break from the northwest. Also, there are mature trees <br />scattered elsewhere in Phase 2 and we would like the developer to keep as many of those trees <br />as possible. <br />3. We would like the developer to provide a landscaping plan and plant coniferous trees in Area <br />"B" as shown below in Figure 1. We feel the developer will more than likely remove the <br />majority of mature trees that are currently located in this area. <br />
