Mabel Bridge Rezoning Hearing John Wotton Thornhill Resident
Three Communities • Lake Mabel Drive • Mabel Bridge • Thornhill
Lake Mabel Drive Community • Long time residents with beautiful lakefront homes. • Former KB management and home owners have history of mistrust in regards to green space on property line. • Two confirmed items that are true: • One of their own is selling the property to KB. • No line of sight to the construction site.
Beautiful trees/shrubs planted between Lake Mabel Drive and KB
Opposite street view at construction site looking towards Lake Mabel Drive
Mabel Bridge Community • Pond residents paid premium for lots that included a pond and green space. • No change to the pond! • Compromise on green space by not building on first three original proposed lots • 36% of new construction is adjacent to Mabel Bridge residents! • Four homes adjacent construction- one home owner not moved in.
Thornhill Community • 64% of proposed construction is adjacent to Thornhill residents. • Community concerns: • Increased traffic through Thornhill. • Safety of children using playground. • Resale value? • Lot premiums paid for green space. • Construction equipment, thefts and damages.
What keeps me up at night! • Three concerns: • -Owner of property has the right to take down every tree in the green space. • -Current zoning allows for larger/mansion type homes that could be back to back with Thornhill with no buffer. • -Not knowing the future with this property!
KB Commitments • Written Agreement with Thornhill HOA • 40 ft. buffer of current green space. Buffer area to be turned over to Thornhill HOA. • Three designated traffic devices for the safety of our children. • Construction plan to minimize traffic, increase safety and assist Thornhill owners with after construction improvements.
