Climate effects from tree removal. 3 - More high density housing that doesn't fit into the neighborhoods of this north Grapevine area.

Box 95104 Grapevine, Texas 76099 OCT 16 2023 10/1.6/2023 Z23-03/ PD23-02; Grapevine Springs We are writing to express our protest the zoning change request for the proposed Grapevine springs development at 1600 W. Northwest Highway (Z23-03/ PD23-02) When we purchased our home, we always knew that the potential for this property to be developed was there. However, we always anticipated a development within the current P.O. (professional office) zoning for the property. The P.O. zoning classification would restrict vertical construction to 20 feet (25 feet with City Council approval) and would require the developer to set back two times the vertical height of any structure from contiguous residential lots. Therefore, structures built on the property would have to be a minimum of 40 feet away from adjacent residential lots. The zoning change requested by the developer to convert this property to residential zoning would allow a vertical structure height of 35 feet and would only require a 25 foot rear setback. The privacy impact of such large structures so close to the property line cannot be understated. We specifically purchased our older home on a large lot with lots of trees in an effort to enjoy some privacy. I feel it is important to note that we are not against the property being developed, however, we are vigorously opposed to the construction of two=story houses, looking directly in our backyards destroying any shred of privacy we have.

P'02U2 - G ;.E -SP R INGS RECEIVED - 10/16/2023 0 0 October 14, 2023 Dear Grapevine Zoning Commission, My name is Kobin Caddick and my wife Margie Caddick and I own the residential property at 565 Dove Creek Cir, Grapevine, TX 76051. Our house, which is our primary residence and registered business address for Caddick Enterprises LLC, backs up to the proposed Grapevine Springs community (Z23-02 PD23-02). We are strongly opposed to rezoning these lots from commercial to residential to build high density housing. When we purchased our house in 2013, one of the main attractions was the neighborhood. It was a quiet street with no through traffic and a well manicured, wooded area with older growth trees behind our backyard. I tracked down and contacted the owners of the property at the time, Wright Construction, and spoke to Joe Wright. I asked him about the long term plans for the property and he told me about the future site plans for building single story professional offic6space. The offices -in the future phase, closest to my property, were still well set back from our property line. Even if that phase was built out they were going to leave many of the large shade producing trees, and the offices were going to be low enough so they don't have a view into our neighborhood's backyards. This conversation with Joe Wright, and the subsequent understanding that we would still have some green space behind our yard, was the deciding factor for moving to this wonderful city of Grapevine. Since we moved in, we have not been disappointed because Joe Wright's company has been an , excellent caretaker of the property. They kept the trees trimmed high off the ground. When a large branch fell into our yard from Mr. Wright's property, they sent over some professional trimmers to remove it free of charge even though it was technically my responsibility. Every year we see hawks riesting in the tall trees, and at night we can hear owls and occasionally coyotes. The squirrels and possums use the eight foot tall game fence as a superhighway. Our neighbors have seen foxes lounging on their patio furniture, and I've even seen a bobcat on the fence. When we found out that. Maykus Homes had purchased the property and was requesting a zoning change in order to build million dollar high density housing, my wife and I were devastated. Maykus homes did not take the considerations of the established existing neighborhood residents with this plan. I've seen the Tillery Commons houses, as well as the proposed designs of the new houses facing our yard, and they do not remotely look. similarto the existing suburban architecture of the Dove Creek neighborhood. The proposed change would cut down all the old growth trees behind our fence leaving our backyard to bake in the 105 degree Texas summers, and, replace the old growth with a retaining wall and a road butting directly up against our fence. Immediately behind the road would be a row of 10 zero lot -line, two story houses with windows peering directly into our backyard. Currently the houses in our neighborhood have backyards that face each other. However the front of all the new houses with their 2nd story windows would face our yard. Because of this minimal barrier between our backyard and the new development, there is not enough 'of a buffer to grow a privacy fence of vegetation. it would take decades for new trees to grow in because the proposed houses are so tall. This development of two story zero lot line houses would negatively affect the back yard privacy of several neighborhoods. Who wants to have a wall ,of row houses with front windows staring into the yard? The existing PO zoning'had single story office buildings that are set back further from the fence line. These single story office buildings do not create any visual privacy concerns because they are much lower than the fence line. The one to two year construction process would also significantly disrupt our lives. Currently the quiet nature of our neighborhood is a major benefit to living here. I work from home and would not be able to conduct zoom meetings with the noise. Margie is a registered nurse who works night shifts at Baylor Grapevine, and she would not be able to sleep during the day due to the construction noise, Because of the close proximity of the proposed road and houses to our yard, the resulting dust would bar us from leaving the windows open during the spring and fall when the weather is nice. I've also invested much time and effort to rid my property of areas of standing water and install traps to get rid of the mosquito population. With the bare ungraded earth and large earth moving equipment, I have yet to see a construction site without standing water after a rainstorm. I do not want mosquitoes breeding behind my fence while the houses are being built. Additionally, there may be endangered species In the Z23-03 / PD23-02 lot. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, it is the responsibility ofthe project proponent to determine whether the project would adversely affect a state -listed species. Source: httr s:: /ti,wd.texas.!,ov.- huntwild/wild/wildlife diversit; ! iabitat assessment/laws.phtml In summary, the new construction proposal for Grapevine Springs does not take into account how it would negatively affect the existing residents in the Dove Creek neighborhoods. We are fiercely opposed to a zoning change for Grapevine Springs Z23-02 and PD23-02 at 1600 W. Northwest Highway from PO (Professional Office) and CC (Community Commercial District) to R-7.5 (Single Famlly District and R-5.0 (Zero Lot Line District) . We implore the zoning committee and city council to listen to the existing residents and deny the zoning permit change. Please keep one of the few remaining greenbelt areas with old growth trees and native wildlife intact, and consider the quality of life concerns from existing neighborhood residents.' Thank you very much for taking the time to read this letter and take into account our considerations. ,J� 4 r Kobin Caddick Margie Caddick 214-783-1714 214-566-4248 FILE #: Z23-03/ PD23-02 GRAPEVINE SPRINGS WRITTEN COMMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THIS OFFICE NO LATER THAN 5 PM ON MONDAY.

The proposed change is not consistent with the master plan for our area. Single story professional office buildings are preferred. Flooding: We have been experiencing increasing amounts of storm water runoff across our property. The subject area adjacent to our property is and has been for over two decades a storm water sink and creek bed for the surrounding commercial and residential properties. A portion of the subject area was under water for several weeks following the heavy rainfall in the summer of 2015. The proposed plan to build retaining walls along the perimeter and pave over the subject area is expected to result in future storm water flood damage to the surrounding existing commercial and residential properties including our home. Noise: After the improvements to Highway 114 we now have significantly increased noise polution from Highway 114 traffic noise. Removing all of the large Oak trees between our property and Northwest Highway will further increase the traffic noise to our property making the our property less desirable to potential buyers and a reduction in the quality of living in our home. Professional office building would at least be more quiet on nights and weekends.

I am opposed to any rezoning or approvals to build living space on the Grapevine Springs property, Z23-03, PD 23-02. It was my understanding before purchasing my property, and has been my understanding for many years, that the property behind mine was intended and zoned only for one-story, professional office space like what already exists on Northwest Highway, such as banks, medical offices, etc. I was advised that it was not zoned for residential or industrial. In addition, I was advised that the owner of the property was not intent on developing it at all because it was not financially viable. That worst case scenario of having limited, professional office development behind me played a large role in my long-term decision to purchase my property. In today's market it isn't like I can afford to just sell and purchase another property. That is not feasible as it would be very inconvenient and costly. We have invested about $100,000 or more into improving our property for our long-term ownership. We dont want to lose our investment of money, time, and plans for our future. I have little in the way of assets. So this is a big deal for me. I know from speaking with my neighbors over the years that the same circumstance was also important in their ownership decisions too. Many of my neighbors have also invested a lot in property improvements based on that property's purpose. Please do not approve any other kind of development on that property. I am strongly against it. It will directly interfere with what we have already invested in our properties and would be unfair to current property owners. Also, that property is one of the finest greenbelts we have left in the city. It should be protected. We do not need more development on that corner of Northwest Highway. It is already too dense as it is now. Please do not approve residential development on that property or in that area.

Z23-02 PD23-02 *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** To Grapevine Zoning commission council: My name is Sharon Grippe. I have lived at 553 Dove Creek Circle for 28 years. I have raised all my kids here and just this month reached the senior homestead level. It has been a pleasure all these years living in this wonderfully quaint town. I vote every cycle and am usually very proud of the direction the city has taken to keep our town from being another Southlake town center area, or the flood of high -density housing across the lake in Flower Mound. I preach to my clients that Grapevine is the best place to live. Low taxes due to the money from DFW, the large tourist hotels, downtown businesses etc. I know this development will make the city money in permit fees and taxes, but at what cost???? What seems to be happening lately is nothing short of a money grab from a wealthy family -owned builder. They have scoured our lovely town for every last available scrap of land. Now that all the empty fields and abandoned commercial buildings have been snatched up, they have their sights set on a very beloved piece of land at the end of a creek behind my home. I know the city knows this piece of land well, it has abundant wildlife, steep slopes going down to a full creek, hundreds of 40-50 ft trees that can't be replaced by planting saplings. This backs up to 12 long term homeowners that cherish it as much as I do, plus another 25 homes that are with 200 ft. We homeowners all did our due diligence when purchasing our homes. It was zoned one story professional office then and now. The late Joe Wright and his first in command Mr. Shilling, told us all at a zoning meeting that it would stay this way and they would only build if they had tenants lined up, would save as many trees as possible and most likely would not build on the north side of the creek due to the steep sloping. There would be big setbacks from the existing homeowners. Now this new builder knows that the land needs very costly development due to the removal of a forest and extensive leveling. So, their plan is to build rows of $900k of townhomes the same size of the current development on Dove Loop and NW Hwy. and pack them in making it almost apartment -like. High density housing is not the best use of the land. it will hurt the ecology, the residents that will be unduly harmed financially and emotionally, and the citizens of the north side who are now wary of the mass extinction of our green space and the animals that will be killed. Please put yourself in my shoes for a moment. My kitchen window is just 20 ft from the property line, my deck where I have family gatherings just 8 ft from the fence. If this plan is approved, we will all endure weeks of chain saws buzzing, animals tortured as they fall from the trees to certain death, ear defining woodchippers, unreal dust. EVERY tree even next to the fence will come down. Then the bulldozers will enter. First to tear up all the roots and animal burrows. The snakes, mice and what animals survive will enter our yards. Maybe prey on our pets or be killed in the streets. In order to level the land, they will dig down 8 ft right at my fence line to build a massive retaining wall. Any homeowners' personal trees in their own back yards will be affected as the root system is cut at the property line. Then comes weeks of masons to build the wall. After that, a road right behind my fence now just 10 ft from my deck. Then comes months of hammering, dump trunks, construction worker noise and dust. Lots of dust. Then when it's all done after 12- 18 months of hell, these 35 ft tall town homes will face my backyard. It won't be just one house looking into your yard, but 6 townhomes all invading my privacy. I'm sure there will be streetlights taking away my dark area and headlights/house lights shining constantly due to the houses facing my fence line. Is this where you would want to live? PLEASE do not allow this zoning change.

When we moved to Grapevine from Kansas City we were attracted to our neighborhood with all the beautiful trees, large lots and surrounding wooded areas. A large city with a small town feel. The City needs to realize that the majority of residents in and around us do not want all this torn up just to add more houses that mimic other cities where houses are on top of each other. Please resist the urge to allow big builders to destroy the nature around us and change our landscape to bricks and mortar to make a buck. As residence and tax payers we need to be heard and this zoning change needs to be denied Thank you Susan & Jim Waldeck 103 Cross Creek Drive Grapevine, TX 913-683-3414 Lindsay Carey From: Madeline Gerow Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2023 6:43 PM To: Tara Brooks; Lindsay Carey Subject: Proposed zoning change of Z 23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** Dear Grapevine Zoning, My name is Madeline Gerow and I am a concerned resident and homeowner in the north Grapevine area. I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed zoning change from Maykus Homes and the potential development that may follow. There are several significant reasons why I believe this change would be detrimental to our community. Firstly, one of the main concerns I have is the potential negative impact on property values and desirability. The proposed development could lead to an influx of high -density housing, which may not align with the character and ambiance of our neighborhood. Such a change could potentially deter potential buyers from considering our area, leading to decreased property values for existing homeowners like myself. Another critical issue is the potential damage to the lots caused by the development. The proposed development could result in the loss of woods and animal habitat in the area. The importance of preserving green spaces and wildlife habitats cannot be understated, as they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity. The potential destruction of these natural areas would be deeply regrettable and could have long-term consequences for the local environment and wildlife. I am concerned about the climate effects that may arise from the removal of trees. Trees play a significant role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Their removal could further exacerbate climate -related challenges, such as increased temperatures and reduced air quality. Lastly, I want to emphasize that high -density housing might not be the best fit for our neighborhood. North Grapevine has always been known for its distinct charm and tranquil atmosphere. Introducing high -density housing could alter the overall vibe of the area, making it less appealing to current residents and potentially leading to issues with traffic and infrastructure strain. In light of these concerns, I kindly request that the City of Grapevine carefully considers the potential consequences of the proposed zoning change from Maykus Homes. I urge you to take into account the negative impacts on property values, the environment, and the community's overall well-being. I understand the need for responsible development, but it should be done in a way that is sensitive to the existing residents and the environment. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I am hopeful that, together, we can find a solution that preserves the unique character of our neighborhood while ensuring responsible and sustainable development for the future.

Please don't change the current zoning. I live on Dove Creek Place in Grapevine. Currently, this is a quiet neighborhood - one of the main appeals when I moved here. High density housing in the proposed area would be highly visible and would have a major impact on this neighborhood of small homes including loss of property value. The visibility and proximity of the high density housing will directly increase noise in the area and heavily reduce privacy. The proposed housing would look directly into this neighborhood and into backyards. With these proposed homes looking in, my neighborhood, home, and backyard will no longer be a place where I can comfortably relax and raise my family. Also, the proposed area contains tall mature trees that are a rare and wonderful find in this region of Texas. It would be sad to lose these beautiful trees. Besides the environmental benefits of these trees, they also help reduce the sound of the local roads and highways. Please do not change the current zoning. I love my neighborhood and my privacy and this zoning change would heavily diminish both.

I am writing to express mv strong onvosition to the vronosed change in zoning from "One Story Professional Office" to "High -Density Zoning" in our community (Z 23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Sprin+%§J. As a concerned resident and stakeholder, I believe this change would harm our neighborhood's character, environment, and overall quality of life. Our current "One Story Professional Office" zoning designation has played a pivotal role in maintaining our community's tranquil and harmonious nature. It preserves the aesthetic appeal of our surroundings and promotes a conducive environment for businesses that align with the scale and tone of our neighborhood. Introducing "High -Density Zoning" would inevitably lead to a significant increase in population density, traffic congestion, and potential strain on our existing infrastructure. While progress and development are crucial for any community, such changes must be undertaken thoughtfully and in a manner that respects the existing fabric of our neighborhood. The shift to "High Density Zoning" will increase noise levels, reduce privacy, and potentially overshadow neighboring properties. These factors would not only compromise the serenity we currently enjoy but could also potentially lead to decreased property values for current residents. Moreover, introducing high -density developments could strain our local resources, including schools, utilities, and emergency services. It is essential to carefully consider whether our community can handle such an influx of residents and businesses without compromising the quality of services we have come to expect. One of my most pressing concerns is the potential removal of a significant number of trees if this zoning change were to be approved. The existing lot has a substantial number of trees that enhance the area's aesthetics and provide vital environmental benefits. Trees play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, providing shade, and contributing to improved air quality. Removing these trees would not only detract from the neighborhood's visual appeal but also have a detrimental impact on our local ecosystem. The destruction of this forested area would lead to increased temperatures in the vicinity. Trees act as natural air conditioners, providing shade and reducing the urban heat island effect. Their removal would result in higher temperatures during the summer months, making the area less comfortable for residents and wildlife. The tree cover loss could also lead to increased energy consumption as buildings become hotter and require more cooling, further contributing to environmental concerns. I implore the Zoning Commission to consider the voices of the residents who have invested time, effort, and emotion into making our community what it is today. While progress is essential, it should be pursued in a way that respects the values, aesthetics, and quality of life that we hold dear. I strongly urge the Zoning Commission to consider the long-term implications of this zoning change, particularly concerning the environmental consequences of forest destruction. In conclusion, I resnectfullh, urge %ou to please reiect the or000sed zoning chance from "One Stor% Professional Office" to "High-Densih Zoning," Let us work together to find solutions that balance growth and development, preserving our community's unique character and well-being and considering the irreplaceable loss of trees and the potential for increased heat and ecological degradation. Thank you for your time and consideration.

My home backs up to this property, so before I purchased it just over a year ago, I called the city to ask if there were any plans to develop the land. I was assured that there were no plans at the time and that because of how the property is zoned, it would never have anything more than one-story professional office buildings put in. I would never have purchased the house if the land had been zoned differently. If the city decides to change the zoning of the property and approve of the proposed plans, I will be very disappointed with the city and feel as though I had been lied to. I am specifically concerned because the proposed zoning change comes with plans to 1) cut down all the beautiful established trees on the property; 2) build 2-story homes overlooking my backyard; and 3) put a street immediately behind my house. All of these things will significantly decrease the value of my home, as well as my ability to enjoy my home as long as I own it. And I know my neighbors feel the same way. I have heard that the previous owner of my home put in a 2-story shed and wanted to use it as a home office. But the neighbors complained that it overlooked their backyard, and the city, realizing the importance of privacy, refused to approve his plans to wire the shed for electricity. I hope the City of Grapevine will continue to appreciate the importance of privacy for the neighborhoods surrounding this lot and say no to zoning changes that would allow anything other than 1-story professional offices on Lot Z 23-02 PD23-Grapevine Springs.

Our house, which is our primary residence and registered business address for Caddick Enterprises LLC, backs up to the proposed Grapevine Springs community (Z23-02 PD23-02). We are strongly opposed to rezoning these lots from commercial to residential to build high density housing. When we purchased our house in 2013, one of the main attractions was the neighborhood. It was a quiet street with no through traffic and a well manicured, wooded area with older growth trees behind our backyard. I tracked down and contacted the owners of the property at the time, Wright Construction, and spoke to Joe Wright. I asked him about the long term plans for the property and he told me about the future site plans for building single story professional office space. The offices in the future phase, closest to my property, were still well set back from our property line. Even if that phase was built out they were going to leave many of the large shade producing trees, and the offices were going to be low enough so they don't have a view into our neighborhood's backyards. This conversation with Joe Wright, and the subsequent understanding that we would still have some green space behind our yard, was the deciding factor for moving to this wonderful city of Grapevine. Since we moved in, we have not been disappointed because Joe Wright's company has been an excellent caretaker of the property. They kept the trees trimmed high off the ground. When a large branch fell into our yard from Mr. Wright's property, they sent over some professional trimmers to remove it free of charge even though it was technically my responsibility. Every year we see hawks nesting in the tall trees, and at night we can hear owls and occasionally coyotes. The squirrels and possums use the eight foot tall game fence as a superhighway. Our neighbors have seen foxes lounging on their patio furniture, and I've even seen a bobcat on the fence. When we found out that Maykus Homes had purchased the property and was requesting a zoning change in order to build million dollar high density housing, my wife and I were devastated. The proposed change would cut down all the old growth trees behind our fence leaving our backyard to bake in the 105 degree Texas summers, and replace it with a road butting directly up against our fence with effectively zero setback. Fifteen feet behind the road would be a dozen zero lot -line, two story houses with windows peering directly into our backyard. Currently the houses in our neighborhood have backyards that face each other. However the front of all the new houses would face our yard. I've seen the Tillery Commons houses, as well as the proposed designs of the $900k+ houses facing our yard, and they do not remotely look similar to the existing suburban architecture of the Dove Creek neighborhood. Replacing the old growth shade trees would supposedly be brightly painted white vinyl siding that will reflect the blazing sun onto our property. There is not enough of a buffer to grow a privacy fence of vegetation, and even if there was it would take decades for new trees to grow in because the proposed houses are so tall. According to the site plan, the backyards of the new houses face (what remains of) the greenbelt and creek, while the existing Dove Creek residents are not even considered. This development would negatively affect the saleability of our house. Who wants to have a wall of row houses with front windows staring into the yard? The one to two year construction process would also significantly disrupt our lives. Currently the quiet nature of our neighborhood is a major benefit to living here. I work from home and would not be able to conduct zoom meetings with the noise. Margie is a registered nurse who works night shifts at Baylor Grapevine, and she would not be able to sleep during the day due to the noise. Because of the close proximity of the proposed road and houses to our yard, the resulting dust would bar us from leaving the windows open during the spring and fall when the weather is nice. I've also invested much time and effort to rid my property of areas of standing water and install traps to get rid of the mosquito population. With the bare ungraded earth and large earth moving equipment, I have yet to see a construction site without standing water after a rainstorm. I do not want mosquitoes breeding behind my fence while the houses are being built. In summary, the new construction proposal for Grapevine Springs does not take into account how it would negatively affect the existing residents in the Dove Creek neighborhoods. We are fiercely opposed to a zoning change for Grapevine Springs Z23-02 and PD23-02 at 1600 W. Northwest Highway from PO (Professional Office) to R-TH (Townhouse District) . We implore the zoning committee and city council to listen to the existing residents and deny the zoning permit change. Please keep one of the few remaining greenbelt areas with old growth trees and native wildlife intact.

I am writing to express my deep concern and opposition to the proposed high -density single family housing development that is planned for the land directly behind my property, Z23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs. I urge the Committee to carefully consider the long-term consequences of this development on our neighborhood and its residents. Firstly, I do want to emphasize that I am not opposed to responsible and well -planned development in our community. I understand the need for housing and growth, but the proposed high -density residential development raises serious issues that must be addressed. • Impact on our infrastructure: This central area of Grapevine is not equipped to handle the increased traffic, noise, and demands on utilities that this large development would bring. • The privacy and aesthetic impact: The proposed development would tower over my home and my neighbor's homes, invading our privacy and altering the character of our community. • The safety of the town's existing residents: The influx of the new residents for this development coming into Grapevine would strain the city's emergency and hospital services, potentially jeopardizing the safety of our community. • The environmental concerns: I am worried about the impact of this development would have on the environment of Grapevine, including potential damage to the creek and Lake ecosystem and the changes to the water drainage from our neighborhood, which could lead to flooding in our existing homes. Most importantly, this development will take away one of the Cityrs only remaining green spaces. It is exactly the kind of space that attracted the current residents to Grapevine originally. This area is full of native Texas trees and a beautiful creek that feeds the Lake of Grapevine. It is also one of the last places in Grapevine to be home to the natural inhabitants of North Texas including beautiful owls and woodpeckers along with families of deer and coyotes that range along the creek towards the park at Lake Grapevine. While I do believe it is essential that we continue to develop the city, I believe that we should work to find projects that benefit everyone while preserving the quality of life and the character of our community that we hold dear. The zoning change being considered for the Grapevine Springs development is one that does not do that for the reasons that I have outlined above. I kindly urge this committee to vote down the zoning change after reading and listening to the concerns of residents like me and my neighbors who will be most directly affected by this development. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Also, please consider that a number of property owners in our subdivision are absentee owners who live in other states, who have no awareness of this situation, and who may not know to protest this matter.

PLEASE DO NOT TEAR DOWN THE TREES IN THIS AREA! The nature and wildlife over here are incredible. We have so many critters and birds that habitat this space and the idea that Grapevine would approve to tear down their home makes me ill. Please keep Grapevine beautiful and keep this space as is for the trees and animals. Currently, I believe the space is zoned for professional office space. We have various vacancies across the city, not to mention the office space across the street by Tom Thumb. Changing the zoning to high density housing would also be detrimental to the community. There are not many green belts in their area and the community treasures this. There are many homes on the market, higher than the typical average in Grapevine. There is no need for more residential homes when the ones already here aren't selling. WE STRONGLY disapprove of this zoning change. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to fight this.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed zoning change from Maykus Homes and the potential development that may follow. There are several significant reasons why I believe this change would be detrimental to our community. Firstly, one of the main concerns I have is the potential negative impact on property values and desirability. The proposed development could lead to an influx of high -density housing, which may not align with the character and ambiance of our neighborhood. Such a change could potentially deter potential buyers from considering our area, leading to decreased property values for existing homeowners like myself. Another critical issue is the potential damage to the lots caused by the development. The proposed development could result in the loss of woods and animal habitat in the area. The importance of preserving green spaces and wildlife habitats cannot be understated, as they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity. The potential destruction of these natural areas would be deeply regrettable and could have long-term consequences for the local environment and wildlife. I am concerned about the climate effects that may arise from the removal of trees. Trees play a significant role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Their removal could further exacerbate climate -related challenges, such as increased temperatures and reduced air quality. Lastly, I want to emphasize that high -density housing might not be the best fit for our neighborhood. North Grapevine has always been known for its distinct charm and tranquil atmosphere. Introducing high -density housing could alter the overall vibe of the area, making it less appealing to current residents and potentially leading to issues with traffic and infrastructure strain. In light of these concerns, I kindly request that the City of Grapevine carefully considers the potential consequences of the proposed zoning change from Maykus Homes. I urge you to take into account the negative impacts on property values, the environment, and the community's overall well-being. I understand the need for responsible development, but it should be done in a way that is sensitive to the existing residents and the environment. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I am hopeful that, together, we can find a solution that preserves the unique character of our neighborhood while ensuring responsible and sustainable development for the future.

Z23-02 PD23-02 *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** for your file. To Grapevine Zoning commission council: My name is Sharon Grippe. I have lived at 553 Dove Creek Circle for 28 years. I have raised all my kids here and just this month reached the senior homestead level. It has been a pleasure all these years living in this wonderfully quaint town. I vote every cycle and am usually very proud of the direction the city has taken to keep our town from being another Southlake town center area, or the flood of high -density housing across the lake in Flower Mound. I preach to my clients that Grapevine is the best place to live. Low taxes due to the money from DFW, the large tourist hotels, downtown businesses etc. I know this development will make the city money in permit fees and taxes, but at what cost???? What seems to be happening lately is nothing short of a money grab from a wealthy family -owned builder. They have scoured our lovely town for every last available scrap of land. Now that all the empty fields and abandoned commercial buildings have been snatched up, they have their sights set on a very beloved piece of land at the end of a creek behind my home. I know the city knows this piece of land well, it has abundant wildlife, steep slopes going down to a full creek, hundreds of 40-50 ft trees that can't be replaced by planting saplings. This backs up to 12 long term homeowners that cherish it as much as I do, plus another 25 homes that are with 200 ft. We homeowners all did our due diligence when purchasing our homes. It was zoned one story professional office then and now. The late Joe Wright and his first in command Mr. Shilling, told us all at a zoning meeting that it would stay this way and they would only build if they had tenants lined up, would save as many trees as possible and most likely would not build on the north side of the creek due to the steep sloping. There would be big setbacks from the existing homeowners. Now this new builder knows that the land needs very costly development due to the removal of a forest and extensive leveling. So, their plan is to build rows of 4500+ sqft homes on small lots. High density housing is not the best use of the land. It will hurt the ecology, the residents that will be unduly harmed financially and emotionally, and the citizens of the north side who are now wary of the mass extinction of our green space and the animals that will be killed. Please put yourself in my shoes for a moment. My kitchen window is just 20 ft from the property line, my deck where I have family gatherings just 8 ft from the fence. If this plan is approved, we will all endure weeks of chain saws buzzing, animals tortured as they fall from the trees to certain death, ear defining woodchippers, unreal dust. EVERY tree even next to the fence will come down. Then the bulldozers will enter. First to tear up all the roots and animal burrows. The snakes, mice and what animals survive will enter our yards. Maybe prey on our pets or be killed in the streets. In order to level the land, they will dig down 8 ft right at my fence line to build a massive retaining wall. Any homeowners' personal trees in their own back yards will be affected as the root system is cut at the property line. Then comes weeks of masons to build the wall. After that, a road right behind my fence now just 10 ft from my deck. Then comes months of hammering, dump trunks, construction worker noise and dust. Lots of dust. Then when it's all done after 12- 18 months of hell, these massive homes will face my backyard. It won't be just one house looking into your yard, but a tightly packed block of them all invading my privacy. I'm sure there will be streetlights taking away my dark area and headlights/house lights shining constantly due to the houses facing my fence line. Is this where you would want to live? PLEASE do not allow this zoning change. We ALL prefer the plans of PO.

Please don't change the current zoning. I live on Dove Creek Place in Grapevine. Currently, this is a quiet neighborhood - one of the main appeals when I moved here. High density housing in the proposed area would be highly visible and would have a major impact on this neighborhood of small homes including loss of property value. The visibility and proximity of the high density housing will directly increase noise in the area and heavily reduce privacy. The proposed housing would look directly into this neighborhood and into backyards. With these proposed homes looking in, my neighborhood, home, and backyard will no longer be a place where I can comfortably relax and raise my family. Also, the proposed area contains tall mature trees that are a rare and wonderful find in this region of Texas. It would be sad to lose these beautiful trees. Besides the environmental benefits of these trees, they also help reduce the sound of the local roads and highways. Please keep the zoning for professional offices - it's what I bought in on. Please do not change the current zoning. I love my neighborhood and my privacy and this zoning change would heavily diminish both.

I am opposed to any rezoning or approvals to build living space on the Grapevine Springs property, Z23-03, PD 23-02. It was my understanding before purchasing my property, and has been my understanding for many years, that the property behind mine was intended and zoned only for one-story, professional office space like what already exists on Northwest Highway, such as banks, medical offices, etc. I was advised that it was not zoned for residential or industrial. In addition, I was advised that the owner of the property was not intent on developing it at all because it was not financially viable. That worst case scenario of having limited, professional office development behind me played a large role in my long-term decision to purchase my property. In today's market it isn't like I can afford to just sell and purchase another property. That is not feasible as it would be very inconvenient and costly. We have invested about $100,000 or more into improving our property for our long-term ownership. We dont want to lose our investment of money, time, and plans for our future. I have little in the way of assets. So this is a big deal for me. I know from speaking with my neighbors over the years that the same circumstance was also important in their ownership decisions too. Many of my neighbors have also invested a lot in property improvements based on that property's purpose. Please do not approve any other kind of development on that property. I am strongly against it. It will directly interfere with what we have already invested in our properties and would be unfair to current property owners. Also, that property is one of the finest greenbelts we have left in the city. It should be protected. We do not need more development on that corner of Northwest Highway. It is already too dense as it is now. Please do not approve residential development on that property or in that area. Thank you, Brian Harkins 214-882-7221 Hello, We live at 504 Dove Creek Place and 1 am reaching out to express our strong opposition to the proposed housing development in our neighborhood. The construction is not addressing any need for affordable housing in our city, on the contrary the proposed development (called a "town home village") is for from affordable (rumored to have a starting price of $900,000 +). The construction of this project would result in significant environmental damage, destroying natural habitats and putting wildlife at risk. The site of the project has been untouched for many years and is home to many animals such as squirrels, birds, moles, snakes etc. These animals, beside being displaced will also be killed by trees falling or ran over by bulldozers and other equipment during the project. Naturally they will also flee from the danger and will INFEST our homes making it a nightmare trying to combat the infestation of critters in our yards, attics and destroy much of our own gardens trees etc. Last year we had a rat infestation in our attic which cost $2000 to get rid of, our neighbor two doors down has been battling with a mole infestation for that last two years. These are just the incidents I am aware of and they happened without any disturbance of the green zone, can you imagine what it will be like if they are allowed to destroy the area? The proposed development will also infringe directly on our privacy as the homes are expected to be 35 feet tall and facing directly in our backyards. The noise pollution will be constant for a long time. Since the pandemic many of us work from home and the continuous noise will not only affect our peaceful community it will also make it hard to concentrate on our work. The last "project" of this developer known as Tillery Commons has been under construction for 3+ years and is still not finished. Trucks and crews are constantly all over the place to this day. The street right in front of the construction site are constantly closed and the 4 lanes are forced down to 2 just so that the work can be done for that day/week. Crews come out every week and open huge holes on the street so that they can place electric wires and whatever else has to be done to connect these new homes to different utilities. This will probably also happen for quite a long period of time to ensure that the new development will have their utilities connected. The Tillery commons project was said to have 20 or so units and after 3 YEARS it is still not completed. You can foresee this much bigger project to take MANY YEARS to complete. The increase in population density will put a strain on our already overburdened city, especially during the holidays. What is now known as "The Christmas capital of Texas" will soon be known as the Horrible Holiday experience of the worst traffic jams, which are already hard to deal with during those times. Furthermore, the type of housing being proposed is simply not in keeping with the character of our neighborhood. This development would drastically alter the aesthetic of our area, replacing the existing greenery and open spaces with a monolithic, high -density housing complex. These homes have no lot to speak of and are about 3-4 feet apart from each other. They will do nothing to provide any type of shade, we currently have been surrounded by trees, but most of our trees will be torn down. Even the trees in our own yards will die since the construction will kill many of the roots due to the proximity of the proposed wall being erected right behind our homes. Finally, I am deeply concerned about the impact this development would have on property values in the surrounding area. There are not many people that would want to buy our homes when they see that they have zero privacy due to the mammoth buildings strewn in a row right behind their home. Our valued peaceful community will no longer have the family ambiance where kids can play peacefully and neighbors can gather for a backyard get together. In conclusion, I strongly urge you to reconsider this proposed housing development. Grapevine has a family reputation and has been away from all the pollution both from the additional emissions and noise unlike many cities that lost their identity due to some construction company wanting to develop every piece of land for their own benefit regardless of what that does to the community once they are done. I believe that this project is simply not the right fit for our neighborhood. Simply put I believe that this project would have a detrimental impact on our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter Sincerely, Costas and Mary Georgiou Lindsay Carey From: Julie Jacob Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2023 10:56 AM To: Lindsay Carey, Tara Brooks Subject: Proposed Zoning Change - Z23-03/PD23-02 GRapevine Springs *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** October 15, 2023 Lindsey Carey City of Grapevine, Planning and Zoning 200 South Main St, PO Box 95102 Grapevine TX 76051 Dear Lindsey, I am a homeowner within 200' of the proposed new housing addition planned by the developers at Maykus Homes. I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed zero lot line, single family home develoment that is planned for the land directly behind my property, Z23-03 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs. I urge the Committee to carefully consider the long-term consequences of this development on our neighborhood and its residents. Firstly, I do want to emphasize that I am not opposed to responsible and well -planned development in our community. I understand the need for housing and growth, but the proposed high -density residential development raises serious issues that must be addressed. • Impact on our infrastructure: This central area of Grapevine is not equipped to handle the increased traffic, noise, and demands on utilities that this large development would bring. • The privacy and aesthetic impact: The proposed development would tower over my home and my neighbor's homes, invading our privacy and altering the character of our community. • The safety of the town's existing residents: The influx of the new residents for this development coming into Grapevine would strain the city's emergency and hospital services, potentially jeopardizing the safety of our community. The environmental concerns: I am worried about the impact of this development would have on the environment of Grapevine, including potential damage to the creek and Lake ecosystem and the changes to the water drainage from our neighborhood, which could lead to flooding in our existing homes. Most importantly, this development will take away one of the City's only remaining green spaces. It is exactly the kind of space that attracted the current residents to Grapevine originally. This area is full of native Texas trees and a beautiful creek that feeds the Lake of Grapevine. It is also one of the last places in Grapevine to be home to the natural inhabitants of North Texas including beautiful owls and woodpeckers along with families of deer and coyotes that range along the creek towards the park at Lake Grapevine. While I do believe it is essential that we continue to develop the city, I believe that we should work to find projects that benefit everyone while preserving the quality of life and the character of our community that we hold dear. The zoning change being considered for the Grapevine Springs development is one that does not do that for the reasons that I have outlined above. I kindly urge this committee to vote down the zoning change after reading and listening to the concerns of residents like me and my neighbors who will be most directly affected by this development. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Main Street Grapevine, Tx 76051 Reference: Re -zoning To Allow Maykus Homes Development To Whom it may concern, I am writing in support of re -zoning the area north of the 1600 Block of W. Northwest Hwy, Grapevine, Texas, along the Farris Branch creek from commercial to residential and allow Maykus Homes to build a new residential community. Maykus has a track record and reputation for not only building fine homes, but fine communities. Their developments improve the quality of life for any city because of their commitment to those communities long after their homes are built. As a retired police officer of 38 years, the last 20 as an Assistant Chief and Chief of Police, I am well aware of the considerations and careful planning a city devotes to creating a balance between commercial and residential developments. Zoning plans are developed for a purpose, primarily that of creating a quality of life community for a Iifetime. While commercial development is crucial to the economic growth of a city, a successful economic development plan will result in residential growth. As the City plans for the future, the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is important to consider. Commercial property left abandoned can lead to blight and decay. The area being considered already has existing office and commercial space that is not being leased. Building a neighborhood at the standard that Maykus creates, takes the CPTED concept to the ultimate level. That has already been shown by the Shady Brook Maykus development which I moved into a year and a half ago. Being a new resident to Grapevine, I love the quality of life and community feel this neighborhood has created for the City of Grapevine. I highly recommend approval for this re -zoning and ask that Maykus Homes be allowed to build another great neighborhood and bring new residents to Grapevine, continuing to make it a community of choice.

The development plan that Hat Creek Development has put forward is an exciting and forward -thinking development that takes advantage of the topography and saves the wonderful tree cover along the creek. This development is destined to be one of the very best pocket neighborhoods that the Maykus Family will have ever completed.

I am writing to you today to express my strong support for the development of new residential communities in Grapevine, TX. As a hopeful future resident and someone actively searching for a new home, I have experienced firsthand the challenges posed by the limited inventory in the housing market. The demand for housing in Grapevine has been on the rise due to its attractive qualities - a vibrant community, excellent schools, diverse amenities but for me, I would like to live in the same place as my daughter and family. The establishment of new residential communities in Grapevine would not only alleviate the strain on the existing housing market but also provide much needed options and opportunities for those in search of a home, like myself. By expanding the housing inventory, we can ensure a broader range of choices to cater to varying preferences and budgets. I firmly believe that investing in new residential developments aligns with Grapevine's growth strategy and long- term sustainability. It would attract potential homeowners, boost property values, and enhance the overall quality of life in your beautiful city. I hope you consider the positive impact that an increase in residential communities options can have on Grapevine. Thank you for your time and consideration.

After an extensive year -long search and initial renting, we agreed that Grapevine would be a truly remarkable place to call "home." However, as our family continues to grow, our current home no longer accommodates our needs. In our quest to secure a new residence within Grapevine, we came across the promising Grapevine Springs property and learned about the proposed residential development. We understand the necessity for a zoning change to facilitate this development. This transition will bring luxury housing to a scenic area, as well as make better use of the land - both of which contribute positively to our community. Having heard and seen first hand the quality of Maykus Homes' work, we wholeheartedly support the approval of this development. We believe it will enhance the beauty of Grapevine, result in more contributions from Maykus Homes, and offer a wonderful living experience for residents. We ask that you kindly accept this as our sincere endorsement for Grapevine Springs.

I am writing to express my strong support for the Grapevine Springs, the proposed residential development by Maykus Homes in Grapevine, particularly in an area currently zoned for professional office use. As a resident of Grapevine for the past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional quality of Maykus Homes, having them build our family's new home in Shady Brook. We absolutely love our home, and it has become an integral part of our lives. Grapevine, like many thriving communities, is facing challenges with limited space for new residential construction and a shortage of quality homes for families to call their own. Grapevine Springs offers a unique opportunity to address these pressing issues. Here are some compelling reasons why I believe this project should be approved: 1. Increasing Housing Options: Grapevine needs more places for families to live. The shortage of quality homes is a growing concern, and Grapevine Springs would significantly contribute to expanding housing options for both current and future residents. 2. Exceptional Quality: Maykus Homes has a well -established reputation for building top-notch, well -crafted homes. Grapevine Springs will continue this tradition and uphold Grapevine's reputation for excellence. 3. Supporting Families: Families are the backbone of any community. By allowing Grapevine Springs, Grapevine can attract more families, helping to sustain our community's vibrancy. 4. Maximizing Space: With limited space available for expansion, it's essential that we make the most of the land we have. Converting a professional office zone into a residential area, as in the case of Grapevine Springs, would be a prudent use of space. 5. Economic Benefits: A new residential development can bring economic benefits to Grapevine, including increased property values, additional local spending, and potential job creation. I understand there may be opposition to this project, but I firmly believe that Grapevine Springs aligns with the best interests of our community. Grapevine has always been a place that values progress while preserving its unique charm, and this development can help us maintain that balance. I urge the City Council to consider the long-term benefits and the needs of the community when making the decision regarding Grapevine Springs. This is a fantastic opportunity to enhance Grapevine's future and ensure that it continues to be a welcoming and thriving city for all. Thank you for your time and consideration. I trust that you will make a decision that benefits the community as a whole. Sincerely, Clark Costa 948 Meadow Bend Loop S Grapevine, TX 76051 646.737.3170 10/16/2; Dear Ms Carey, I am writing this letter in support for the Grapevine Springs Development proposed by the Maykus Homes Construction company. Maykus without hesitation, builds a high -quality product and in fact, just completed a brand new home for myself. They always consider greenspace and other environmental concerns when developing their home sites. It has been brought to my attention that there is a creek running through this particular development and I know that Maykus will do everything in it's power to beautify the creek area and its surrounding properties. It's not only in Grapevine's best interest, but the interest of the individual homeowners for the area to look as natural as possible. Maykus has always risen above and beyond as a company to ensure that all homeowners and environmental concerns are addressed and improved upon. Therefore this letter is in support of the development of Grapevine Springs and my hope is that the Grapevine Planning and Zoning Commission and Grapevine City Council will look favorably in support of this development as well.

I apologize I can't be in attendance, I am at another community event. I think the changing of the zoning to residential is such a positive change for our community. We do not need more empty stripe malls or office space. We do, however, need housing. Grapevine is a wonderful city that is lacking enough housing for the residents. We need more housing. This change will enable us to build beautiful homes in a great location, which will raise all our property values. It is important to be thoughtful on the use of the land. It is also important to look at who is developing our community. We can hold off, we can wait for the nationals or builders not based in our community. What they will build in our town, will not feel like Grapevine, because they will not care. Having a local builder and developer working on this project will ensure accountability to the community. For surrounding neighborhoods, how lucky they are that the development will be a sweet neighborhood and not office space. I cannot think of a better use of the land.

I've personally had two homes built by the Maykus family and lived in three of their neighborhoods. Their attention to respecting neighbor and city requests far exceeds most developers and builders. I understand neighbors having concern about their privacy, greenspace and trees being impacted by a development; however, the difference of an upscale residential development and a commercial development as it's currently approved for, are two entirely different experiences. lived literally in the middle of a large tract of land the Maykus family developed around our home in a neighboring city during the construction process. I watched how they took great care to keep greenspace preserved and protect every tree possible to maintain the more natural characteristics of the property prior to construction. The development as proposed for Grapevine Springs will be no different. The Maykus family will build high end, quality homes all while maintaining the beauty of this property and will do it in a way that doesn't negatively impact the privacy of the residents and businesses around them. Change is difficult and understandably so. The land will be developed at one time or another...... I would personally prefer a beautiful home development of high - end residents maintaining the beauty of the trees, greenspace, and creek vs. a business park any day.

Our family has been long-time residents of Southlake, but our first home was on Yellowstone Drive in Grapevine. Kosse Maykus built our home in the Lonesome Dove neighborhood in the early 90's and my family still resides in that home today. Over the years, we have continued to watch the Maykus family build high -quality housing developments. We have no doubt they will continue this long-time commitment by Maykus Homes well into the future. After having lived in a Maykus home for many years, I believed so much in the quality of a Maykus home that I recently purchased a new home in Tillery Commons in Grapevine. My neighborhood will back up to the proposed neighborhood, Grapevine Springs, you are discussing Tuesday night. If it weren't for my travel schedule, I would be there to speak publicly on behalf of this new development. It will be a beautiful neighborhood for some very fortunate families. I have worked hard for the opportunity to build a home. I could have chosen any builder and any community to live in. I chose Maykus Homes and Grapevine, Tx. While change can be hard, my experience with Maykus Homes is that they do everything possible to minimize disruption to the surrounding residences during the development and build phases of the project. Additionally, they also ensure that the layout of the neighborhood maximizes privacy for all residences and surrounding neighborhoods, including mine. I believe that the Grapevine Springs addition will positively impact both the value of and living experience in Tillery Commons. Finally, I would request that the Grapevine City Council put its full support behind the Grapevine Springs development. This project will enhance the beauty of Grapevine, and in my view, will likely result in future improvements to the commercial properties along Northwest Hwy.

They belong in some industrial area, not in our residential neighborhoods. If you haven't seen them in person, take a drive down Dove Road from NW Highway. Take a look and imaging how you would feel seeing them tower over your neighborhood. Furthermore, the destruction of the woods behind our neighborhood would be detrimental to the abundant wildlife that lives there.

Part of our charm is that we have a nice scenic view of relaxing and calming trees that helps to relax patients thus they enjoy the dentistry and feel at ease. This keeps grapevine healthier. With this view lost, we lose that completely and in a time of economic slowdown post covid, I do not think grapevine wants to slow down their small businesses. These houses would also mean construction which will make it very hard for patients to come and go. I have spoken to many people and they are all in veto of this proposed zoning. Also, we hope to inhabit this earth not just for our generation but for many generations to come and Grapevine has this beautiful scenery and it would be a shame and a crime to tear these down for high density housing.

High density housing is a bad idea for a variety of reasons. Mostly, I support the preservation of whatever native habitat is still left in Grapevine. The true richness of Grapevine was in it's undeveloped landscape and natural beauty. Far too little of it is left. Please seek to preserve whatever undeveloped green spaces are left in Grapevine.

Recent housing development on Dove Road has proven to increase traffic density, with the construction alone. This will decrease the safety of the school crossing zone. This area cannot effectively and safely accommodate the increased traffic, noise and change in the topography. The amount of additional cars alone is a negative to the area. Removing the trees in this space would greatly increase the heat index in the area and drive out the wild life to surrounding areas. I feel strongly that this change would only bring negative results. Please do not change the zoning and keep Grapevine as a safe place to live. This is not in the best interest of its current tax paying citizens, who have always felt that Grapevine was a great place to live. I am certain this will not enhance the city but only enhance the pockets of a corporation that would not even choose to live in the structures that they build.

I have lived in Grapevine for close to 25 years and love this city but am not happy with the direction we are moving in regarding lack of protection of any green space remaining in Grapevine. I hope you will support mein NOT approving this change. The shift would not only result in the loss of one of the only remaining swaths of native trees and shrubbery but also a loss of natural habitat to the wildlife in our area including migratory birds. Losing this would do away with one of the things that makes Grapevine truly special to its residents - the conservation of the few green spaces. This particular green space is even more special as it protects one of the beautiful creeks which feeds Lake Grapevine. As a long-standing resident of Grapevine, I feel that the proposed zoning change was made without taking into consideration the perspectives and needs of the citizens - especially those who will be directly affected by this change. Many cities across the country have recognized the importance of saving the canopies that protect us and the green spaces that enable those to thrive. There was an article recently in the NY Times on this very subject. Green canopies have been proven to cool cities, making urban spaces more livable. Urban trees cool cities in two main ways: by providing shade and through evapotranspiration. I believe Grapevine should focus on making the city more livable through means such as preserving our remaining green spaces. With both bird and insect populations in severe decline in recent decades, ensuring that urban areas continue to create habitat and provide forage for wildlife has never been more important. The City could buy this piece of property and make a positive impact on our city, the lives of its citizens and our animal populations. It would make a beautiful nature trail/area. If the city does not want to consider this - at least do NOT allow this area to be rezoned and made into another concrete jungle. I urge you to vote down the zoning change. It is crucial that any changes to our beautiful city align with the best interests and well-being of our residents. i hope that you will take our concerns seriously and work towards a solution that maintains the character and quality of life we have come to value. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of Grapevine to express my deep apprehension regarding the proposed zoning change for a significant piece of land behind the one-story office buildings on Northwest Highway, across from Pearl Chinese and Passion Lighting. The original intent for this property was to extend the existing one-story commercial space, which seemed to be in harmony with the existing landscape. However, following the recent passing of the property owner, the land has changed hands to a developer who envisions a high -density housing community in its place. This plan has raised considerable concerns among the community, including myself. This proposed development would result in the irrevocable transformation of this beautiful piece of property. Over 300 trees would be removed, leading to the displacement of numerous animals and birds who call this area their home. In place of this natural beauty, we would see the construction of parking lots, roads, and 38 densely packed small homes and large houses. While there is a plan to retain some green space, it would undergo significant changes, including alterations to the landscaping and the creek that feeds Lake Grapevine. I strongly believe that preserving our natural spaces is vital for the well-being of our community and our environment. It is my sincere hope that the Planning and Zoning committee will consider the long-term implications of this development and the impact it will have on our city's unique character and the local ecosystem. Personally, I would love to see the city take the opportunity to purchase this land and preserve it as a multiuse green space with walking trails and a picnic area for all residents to enjoy. Such an initiative would not only preserve the natural beauty of the area but also enhance the quality of life for our community. As a fellow citizen of Grapevine, I kindly request that you take a few minutes out of your day to send a letter to the Planning and Zoning committee, urging them to vote against the zoning request from the developer. Together, we can work towards preserving our city's charm and protecting the environment for future generations. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Your support in safeguarding Grapevine's natural treasures is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Kindall Byres 2806 Live Oak Dr. Grapevine.

The height and density of the new homes on Dove Road are an eyesore and ruined a beautiful piece of treed land and uprooted wildlife. If you allow this change and Maykus builds similar homes and with such density, this neighborhood will be compromised not just in its natural beauty but also the quality of life that we chose when buying property in this community. Also the change in topography with all those homes may negatively affect the drainage as well which could put some of our homes in jeopardy. I understand the builder plans to address some of the drainage issues but the other negatives for this proposed change are still the main problem. I beg the city votes NO on this request and keep the zoning as is with one story professional office designation.

As a 28-year tax -paying resident of Grapevine, I'm asking that you PLEASE deny this zoning change. This land is zoned for one-story professional office sites and should remain that way. This land slopes down to a creek and would require excessive build up to support the proposed houses. Most of the trees would be removed, and the road through the proposed site would not have a good access point to either dove road or NW Highway. The construction noise would be disruptive to families living nearby for months, if not longer. Some of the homeowners in the area bought their house with the understanding that this was zoned for professional office space, not two-story large houses. Furthermore, the destruction of the woods behind our neighborhood would be detrimental to the abundant wildlife that lives there. We have seen foxes and bobcats that have come up through there and enjoy seeing them, as well as hearing the Barred Owls. There is plenty of farmland outside of Grapevine for builders to build more houses. A one-story office complex would be acceptable as that's what it was zoned for when residents around here bought their houses.

Sincerely, Martha New 533 Dove Creek Circle Grapevine, TX 76051 AUG ISM Linda Carey City of Grapevine Planning and Zoning 200 South Main St PO Box 95102 Grapevine TX 76051 Dear Linda, I am writing to express my deep displeasure with the proposed zoning change for Z23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs. I am quite sad to see the City of Grapevine considering the change of this property from a one-story professional office zoning to high -density residential zoning. The shift will result not only in the loss of one of the only remaining swaths of native trees and shrubbery but also one of the only remaining green spaces left in the city. It is also home to many of natural inhabitants of the area including its large inhabitants - armadillos, deer, bobcats, and coyotes — and smaller ones — like owls, birds, snakes and rodents. it also does away with some of the things that makes Grapevine special to its residents — green spaces, large trees and clear land around the beautiful creek which feeds Lake Grapevine. I feel that the proposed zoning change was made without taking into consideration the perspectives and needs of the people who will be directly affected by this change. This affects everyone who uses Northwest Highway daily, Lake Grapevine, local hospitals, city utilities and its emergency services. It also raises the significant risk of increased traffic, strain on the city's infrastructure and an overall decrease in the surrounding property values. I strongly urge you to vote down the zoning decision and, if this change is ever to be considered again, that the city take the time to engage with the neighboring property owners and the citizens of Grapevine as a whole. It is crucial that any changes to our cityscape align with the best interests and well-being of our residents. I hope that you will take our concerns seriously and work towards a solution that maintains the character and quality of life we have come to value.

We are writing to express our deep concerns with the proposed zoning change for Z23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs that would allow for the change from commercial zoning and the reduction of green space in favor of a new high -density residential development in our community. We believe that this zoning change would have far-reaching and negative consequences for the native wildlife, current homeowners, city infrastructure, and the overall culture of our city. We respectfully request that the Planning and Zoning Department reconsider this proposal and its implications on our community. First and foremost, the proposed development threatens the well-being of our native wildlife. Green spaces provide essential habitats for local wildlife, from birds to insects to small mammals. The proposal calls for aggressive destruction of these natural areas which will displace and disrupt the lives of these creatures, and this disruption can have a ripple effect on the entire local ecosystem. Preserving these green spaces is not only a matter of environmental responsibility but also vital for maintaining our city's biodiversity. The impact on current homeowners is also a significant concern. The proposed high -density residential development includes new multi -story homes that overlook existing properties. This intrusion will have a detrimental effect on the privacy, tranquility, and property values of these homeowners. The loss of green space and the addition of densely packed structures will change the character of our neighborhoods and diminish the quality of life for those who have invested in their homes and communities. For current homeowners, their properties represent a significant investment, often both financially and emotionally. The proposed development will lead to a loss of property value due to factors such as reduced privacy, obstructed views, increased noise, and changes in the character of their neighborhood. Homeownership is a cornerstone of the American dream, and it is essential to protect the interests and well-being of those who have already committed to our community. Changing zoning from commercial to residential should also be approached with caution. The existing homeowners have chosen their residences with certain expectations about the surrounding environment and property values. A dramatic change in zoning disrupts these expectations creating uncertainty which leads to the frustration and dissatisfaction among residents due to the precedent being set. Furthermore, high -density housing can strain our city's infrastructure, including utilities, transportation, and public services. It is crucial to consider the increased demands on water, sewage, and electricity that such developments will place on our already stressed systems. Additionally, higher population density may lead to increased traffic congestion, impacting our roads and public transportation services. Proper infrastructure planning should be a priority, and the proposed zoning change may not align with the long-term sustainability of our city. Lastly, it's important to remember that our city has a long-term plan in place for a reason. Deviating from this plan could disrupt the existing culture, which has been carefully cultivated over the years. Grapevine has a unique character with it's beautiful parks and recreation areas, our beautiful lake, tall trees, and historical architecture. This contributes to our sense of identity and community. Changing this character too drastically may lead to a loss of cultural heritage and identity that residents hold dear. This is what makes us different from Southlake and HEB areas. In conclusion, we urge the Planning and Zoning Department to reconsider the proposed zoning change. We understand the need for development, but it should be balanced with a commitment to protecting our natural environment, respecting the rights and investments of current homeowners, ensuring the sustainability of our city's infrastructure, and preserving the unique culture that makes our city special. Please take the time to engage with the neighboring property owners and the citizens of Grapevine as a whole. It is crucial that any changes to our cityscape align with the best interests and well-being of our residents. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue, and for your commitment to our community's well-being. We hope that you will take our concerns seriously and work towards a solution that maintains the character and quality of life we have come to value.

The current housing situation in Grapevine has presented challenges for my family while searching for our new home. Grapevine is a vibrant and growing community that attracts individuals and families seeking a high quality of life, excellent schools, a beautiful lake and a sense of community. However, the difficulty in finding suitable housing options has become a growing concern, limiting accessibility to housing for many residents and potential newcomers. By focusing on increasing residential communities, we can not only address the current housing shortage but also support the city's sustainable growth. A greater availability of housing will create a more diverse and inclusive community, attracting a broader range of residents and enhancing the social fabric of our city. I encourage the City Council to consider policies that incentivize residential development, streamline and approval process for residential projects, and allocate resources to support the growth of housing options. By fostering a housing - friendly environment, we can ensure that Grapevine remains and attractive and welcoming city for both current and future residents. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kennedy Vice President - Chief Financial Officer Michael Stevens Interests, Inc. 8582 Katy Freeway, Suite #201 Houston, Texas 77024 713-851-8742 Mobile 281-833-1810 Office 7/31 /2023 AUG 0 7 911" 7e,17 To: Grapevine Zoning Commission and City Council This petition is signed by 26 concerned citizens within the 200 ft boundary of the Grapevine Springs zoning request. Z23-3 PD23-02. This property has been zoned PO since the mid 80s. The designers of our area chose to designate it PO as it is a flood plain with a creek, slopes down from the existing planned neighborhoods. Most of us have been here for many years, some pushing 30 years or more. We knew this land was zoned PO when we bought and designed our yards. The creek takes on our rainwater in large amounts. Our concerns are the loss of privacy when these mega homes are built facing our back yards, and in one case the house is at the lot line. Our property values WILL decrease as no one wants a home with zero privacy and a fall of homes behind. The 18 months of constant building of such a crazy development with cutting land back, retaining walls, roads next to our fences and huge homes on less that R7.5 (1200 ft of the lot is half the street). This plan will cause us existing homeowners health, peace and general welfare issues that are mentioned in our zoning ordinances. The destruction of a greenbelt, 50 ft trees, loss of animal habitat are secondary issues, but still what draws people to Grapevine. it's that small town feel. The development is not right for the area, or the existing homeowners. We prefer the building of Single -story professional office as outlines on the plat. We pray that the city will agree with the long time homeowners.

Comments By Petition Signers: moved here 34 years ago, about 25000 population, grapevine was called a tree city. what happened? apartments up and down dove road, behind the mills, population is up to 60000. have plenty of living spaces, don't need any more barn type structures. Commented by Davis Seroka Please keep what little natural areas of grapevine are left. Do not Rezone, especially do not allow the proposed higher density units here. Leave as is. A concerned citizen. Commented by Sandra Kelly Please fight senseless destruction of this lovey property, as well as all wildlife that call it home.. All for greed. (23 year grapevine resident) Commented by Laura Thompson 1, too, am concerned about the utter lack of planning appropriate housing as it relates to surrounding areas. Recent communities by this builder simply do not blend in with the surroundings; one development looks like it should be in Key West; another looks like it is a futuristic society. l believe it is possible to plan development and focus on maintaining the beautiful trees and habitats within. Commented by Carol Fell I have lived in Grapevine for over 20 years, and I object to this wildlife area being destroyed to build housing. Commented by DURRINE KILGORE I am in support of the petition asking the planning and zoning officials of Grapevine to vote NO to Maykus' request for a zoning change. Commented by Catherine LaCroix Would rather the developer repurpose already clear or empty land as opposed to clear cutting more already endangered tree canopies. Commented by Joshua Wang Please vote NO! Commented by Julie Couvillion Please do not destroy this area of land. Grapevine has been losing it's natural beauty due to the heavy amounts of urbanization. Preserving this land would mean preserving Grapevine. Commented by William Wilkerson Do not want woods cut down. This is really sad. Commented by Lisa Wooten Too much development- we need to leave some areas natural Commented by Nancy Snyder No! I am against cutting down the trees on this 91 + acres and building more homes that this builder built behind Fox Rental. Cannot the city do some sort of land swap. Why not build some tiny homes 400-500sf which seem popular now and would be more affordable and could be incorporated between trees somewhere else within Grapevine. I would buy one of them sooner than those other ugly buildings that builder built separated by less than 90 feet after clearing the entire forest behind Fox Rental. ! thought the city of Grapevine has a requirement that an equal number of trees have to be planted for all trees removed by developers. I'm aware of a new construction project in the city were the property owner had to do exactly that. So we now have mature trees being replaced by specimens under 6 feet. Insanity. Furthermore, when the new coffee shop recently built on Northwest Highway the city lost several mature trees to build another coffee shop; like we don't have enough coffee stops already in Grapevine. Voting to allow this project to move forward is not in the best interest of the neighborhood, city residents and seriously not in the best interest of our environment. I know we can do better. This proposal needs more thought/study. Commented by Jerry Haba This would be OK in Grand Prairie/ Arlington/ Mansfield not Grapevine. If you want to compete with the status of Colleyville/Southlake you are now turning this city into a THIRD WORLD COMMUMITY. Commented by James Williams We are losing more green space in this city every day. I strongly oppose this new development. Commented by Mark Croft Please keep this green space intact. Commented by Julie Croft Please stop destroying the trees and land. These areas already have residents that needs their habitat. Commented by DONNA POPE No to this destruction! Commented by Regina Gary Too many trees being sacrificed. We need to be saving our pockets of nature throughout our city. They contribute to the special character of Grapevine. Once gone... gone forever. Commented by Stanley Beckham Stop tearing our trees down! Commented by Anonymous ENOUGH! Commented by Jesse Warner We have enough housing in Grapevine! Please keep Grapevine Green. I would hate to see us lose the wildlife in this area and the valuable trees! ... just more homebuilders greed at work! Commented by Linda Laer It is sad to see less and less green area in Grapevine. Commented by Sharran Hood Stop the development of 11.25 Acres in Grapevine. Save what is left of free space for the remaining animals and trees. Commented by Mary Beaty Keep the current office zoning Commented by Andrew Low Stop the development of Grapevine Springs and save the green space. I don't want to see the Grapevine I love because a concrete jungle. Commented by Diane Fitzgerald vote NO to Maykus' request for a zoning change. Commented by Marzena Ziemianek I strongly encourage you to vote no against the proposed rezoning for maykus. A lot of work and effort and money has gone into keeping downtown Grapevine a quaint town and the Christmas capital of Texas. Please do not allow these luxury condos to be built in our beautiful and picturesque town of Grapevine. Thank you. �ummenrea oy L-aur,e Burdett Please stop this development and keep the woods and creek in their natural state in Grapevine, TX The wildlife currently living there will have no where to go or will be killed in the process. Commented by Janet Borgman Vote no to Maykus' request for re -zoning Commented by Becky Schwartze As a long-time resident of Grapevine and direct descendant of the Foster family, I know how much Grapevine city officials as well as residents are proud of our "small town appeal". Do we really want Grapevine to lose that by developing the entire area outside of the historic district into looming, massive property developments that lower property values (and thus taxes!) and force neighbors apart? How do we keep our town pride if we lose what's left of the natural landscape? These areas need to be protected by our city officials, not condemned by them. Commented by Kathy Bigham Please don't allow Maykus to build any more of these hideous townhomes in Grapevine. We need trees for our wildlife as well. Commented by Victoria Sullivan Please don't try down a special environmental / forest area for townhomes. Our wildlife has no place to go any longer. Say no to more development. Commented by Teresa Leeth stop development of "Grapevine Springs" Commented by mike mars Please leave Grapevine's natural beauty undeveloped. It is what makes our town so special. Commented by Dara Hall We bought a home specifically for some green areas Commented by Christine reddy We MUST retain the limited green space we have left. I am a 20 year resident of Grapevine and I vote NO. Commented by Philip Wilson We need as many trees and as much biodiversity as we can possibly scrounge up. Please do not allow the destruction of our ecosystem to continue. Commented by Jeff and Dawn Raime Please keep Grapevine beautiful! We do not need more concrete and housing Commented by Duncan Wilkins Please, no more destruction of the green belt areas for housing or any other enterprise. Commented by Thomas Streff Keep the current zoning in place, we do not need more townhomes Commented by Tracy Stagg Please do not develop Grapevine Springs Commented by Robyn Readicker PLEASE do not allow the destruction of such a beautiful space in Grapevine! Residents of Grapevine enjoy the beauty of nature and the wildlife that lives in that space. NO MORE townhomes, no more houses crammed into small spaces. This kind of development is not what is best for our community. PLEASE preserve natural spaces in Grapevine. SAY NO to Maykus. Commented by Audrey Faulkner No to this development Commented by Elva Tatangelo This is a treasured space for humans and animals. Areas like this create a peaceful breaks from all the concrete and asphalt that surrounds us. Commented by Marsha Jacobs I am diametrically opposed to this development going up. What Maykus has already recently constructed on Dove is ugly.! I do Not want them taking our beautiful natural beauty away in exchange for townhomes.. We don't need or want their construction. Stop this intrusion! Commented by Cindy Howard I have lived & paid taxes in Grapevine since 1986. Vote NO to Maykus' request for a zoning change & STOP changing our beautiful town/city. Commented by Pamela Boyd Why are we not keeping trees and green space is beyond usll This is what makes our city special and beautiful... the thought of overdeveloping and ruining the land is poor city planning in our opinion. Please be more forward thinkers and know the value of not only the land but overdeveloping it. Everything can't be about money. Please Commented by John Cogburn Mayor Tate used to call us a family friendly city. Placing more high density housing in Grapevine is not friendly to those who have been here for decades. It appears to me that allowing this to go forward indicates Grapevine is caving to the Obama plan to force all cities to build high density housing at the expense of one of our few remaining natural areas south of the lake.. Commented by John Mc Guire City needs to stop allowing developers to destroy established natural areas in our city. Commented by Karen Stephenson Opposed to zoning change Z 23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs Commented by Martha New This area should be left undeveloped. We have plenty of buildings in Grapevine. We need to preserve the natural areas that remain. Thank you. Commented by Linda Robbins Grapevine is known for the flora and fauna, how natural our town STILL is. Building more housing will not only take the natural wonder we love about our city but also increase the heat due to less trees but the coverage they provide us with shade not to mention oxygen to our community. Also we cut down the natural habitat - snakes, coyotes, armadillos, etc. - where do those animals end up going... Into our neighborhoods and streets. What's happening with the project just north of Hwy. 360 and Euless -Grapevine Rd? All those trees were cut down, a cement slab was poured and then nothing. What good has that done our community? Commented by Valerie Kunert Most people who live here love the interspersed green areas. We are an outdoor community that has grown beyond the peak of commercial and residential development that could be deemed desirable. Increasing population density and reducing natural areas will have a disastrous effect on this city. We do not have to "grow" to thrive. We have a wonderful home. Stop bulldozing the reasons it is wonderful. Commented by Rory Ellis Please save the forest and animals! Commented by Alexandra Evans I am very much opposed to building new construction in the few green spaces we have left. The plans for this project are going to have a negative impact on both wildlife in the area and residents who live nearby. Not only will they lose the natural habitat that brings quality of life, they are going to have repercussions from loss of trees and water runoff. Commented by Kathy R Peipert Some natural areas need to be left that way. We have lived in 2 separate neighborhoods locally where a development similar to this was built. It displaced so much wildlife. It was so heart wrenching to hear the animals crying/calling after their homes were destroyed over 3 days. Those of us who lived nearby bought our places, in part, since we were told the properties would never be developed. Dollars are the only thing that matter anymore in Grapevine. This is not the town that attracted and charmed us. I admire many of the homes Kosse Maykus has built in the area. Sadly, I think the company he started needs to, and eventually will, find a different town to destroy. Them buying this property sounds like a back room deal. As 1 said, $$$$. Commented by Lynette Clemens I am writing the to request the planning and zoning officials of Grapevine to vote NO to Maykus' request for a zoning change. This beautiful greenbelt should be reserved for its original use or should be purchased by the city and retained as a green space. Commented by Julie Jacob We are designated a tree city, that designation should be removed due to the number of trees that a certain builder has cut down. Shame! Commented by Janet Perkins These already built townhomes are a disgrace by Maykus. Stop anymore building and let the green space remain. Commented by Robin Pearson Too much crammed into one space. Not the type of development Grapevine needs. Commented by Vickie Kasten stop the greed keep the trees they help us breath Commented by Lisa charette Stop bill dozing every tree you can find. You're choosing money over nature/wildlife and just helping to make summers hotter. Commented by Stacy DeVorak I believe that that the wild life will continue to suffer from the destruction of this area. The homes are not a good fit for this area. The many problems, lack of privacy, increased noise, and possibly declining property values. Commented by Kimberly Heverly "Proposed Zoning Change of Z 23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs" - - voting no to any build near my house or near 1000 feet any school - nobody wants more people moving to grapevine - nobody likesmaykus and there discrepant build - I've lived in grapevine for 20 years and we are supposed to be a tree hugging city. This build will demolish grapevines most precious gems. - leave this area alone and to the families that live there. - tell maykus to leave grapevine and go elsewhere - stop building apartments we don't want anyone else loving here - I'm tired of hearing the loud construction - maykus townhomes are literally cheap and easy, tear them down. Or kick them out - literally just stop building in grapevine Commented by Kristina Rounsaville Please stop the "Grapevine Springs" development. This will Not be good for Grapevine residents. Please leave what's left of our beautiful city alone for us to enjoy the peace and calm of this area. Commented by Brek Lancaster Please vote NO to Maykus' request for a zoning change- we are 37 year residents of Grapevine and don't like the direction it is headed Commented by Peter Grantham Keep existing zoning Commented by Cathy Eliedge Protect the wilderness Commented by Courtney Sanders Please vote no to this proposal to replace this beautiful area with more heinous Maykus neighborhoods. Whoever approved the ones he's already built in north Grapevine needs to be fired or replaced. The Maykus housing that has been built in north Grapevine is insanely ugly, and they are so ridiculously close together. Vote to save the beautiful trees and creek. Vote to save north Grapevine from being made any less appealing due to Maykus developments. Vote no to Maykus. No more Commented by Sarah Eikenberry Developments like this are out of character for our community Commented by Thomas Bushart I HATE the new Makus town homes. How do you even get further in them? I can touch 2 houses at ones they are so close. Please do not let them destroy our forest and wildlife. I've been here 40 years and builders like this are ruining our city Commented by Krystal Blackwell Too many mature trees are being bulldozed away for townhomes. Please stop this unnecessary destruction of our trees. Commented by Jane Boyd Saving our free spaces and wildlife is my main concern. uommentea by ware rorter Please spare this wooded area. The green spaces are why we moved here over 20 years ago. Little by little the tress are being replaced by pavement and buildings. Let's not look like Plano. Commented by Thomas Dollar
