As you are our organization that approves or denies housing development in The City of
Grapevine, I join with my neighbors to ask you to deny the splitting of the lot on the west
corner of Mercury and Peninsula.
I a I Irt, I I I 1"V W, WIR 191"IM"M I
Additionally, over the last 10 years we have had more than 15 new houses, which has
added to congestion on this corner as it is one of the major exits. More houses have
meant more demand for our twenty -five -year -old infrastructure (i.e., utilities) that an
additional house on this lot will adversely impact. We have very narrow roads at this
specific intersection and extremely deep ditches impact our public road safety and taxes
our physical environment (i.e., utilities) that there is no way to mitigate, unless you are
willing to invest to update our utilities. Each household added has increased the amount
of water runoff to houses below.
Ultimately, it is up to you to approve or deny this request. In general, the concerns
involve the sizes of each parcel, access to public right-of-way and are there any zoninog
troblems.
It is the opinion of several of my neighbors that this should have already been
addressed.

Please accept this letter as a formal complaint to replatting tne parcel on Me 7wrier of W�,1!7iTl
Dr. and Placid Cir. from an established one home lot to a two home lot.
I can't imagine how this can be accomplished without taking down a large number of trees.
The very reason I purchased on Peninsula is the amount of trees, along with spacious back
yards each property offered.
My main concern is keeping up with the beauty and aesthetics of this neighborhood and not to
set a precedence for this type of building in the future.
Thank you,
