My name is Charles Martin, 817-253-6797. 1 have lived in Grapevine since 1986 at 511 Dove Creek Place. It is a nice area with one story homes and a parklike setting. I live within 200 feet of the proposed zoning change requested by Maykus Homes. It is my understanding the area under consideration has been zoned one story commercial for many years, in anticipation of business growth in Grapevine. The new developers, Maykus Homes, knew this when the property was purchased. They also purchased the property by Fox Rental and built 17 "barn" homes that look like nothing like the architecture found in Grapevine. The homes along Dove Road are considered an eyesore by most of those living in the vicinity. These homes were built on property zoned residential. Maykus had no intentions of building commercial property on the proposed area and as such have been deceptive to the citizens in Grapevine and local home owners. For a planning commission to renege on what the intended use was and allow high density two story homes does not sit well with any of the home owners in the 200 foot range and the wishes of all the homeowners around me. It would also displace the habitat of the animals who depend on the area to survive the hot summers and cold winters in Grapevine. Lastly, the design of the homes, very stark, two story boxes have no commonality with any of the building and developments in Grapevine, completely out of place in historic Grapevine. I urge each and every member of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to deny this obvious end run around the wishes of the citizens of Grapevine and the current commercial zoning codes of this property. Elections are coming and this vote will be watched by many people to see if Grapevine council members are firmly on the side of historic looking city planning or have thoughts elsewhere. Charles L.

Tate < ; Paul Slechta < ; Sharron Rogers < ; Leon Leal < >; Darlene Freed < Chris Coy < ; Duff O'Dell < >; <� Subject: proposed zoning change for Z23-02 PD23-02 *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to express our deep concerns with the proposed zoning change for Z23-02 PD23-02 Grapevine Springs that would allow for a change from commercial zoning, significant varianc�:s in development:/construction code, and 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 current homeowners, native wildlife, city infrastructure, and the overall culture of our city. The implications to our community are significant and we respectfully request that this proposal be denied. The changes requested in the planned setback rules and the private road vs public road for this planned property will have a negative effect on the surrounding property values due to homes being built closer to them and a road being placed directly behind their properties without a buffer zone as are normally required by the code. The houses proposed have only a 15.5' setback due to it starting in the middle of the road which will put those large two-story homes closer to the neighboring yards. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT VARIATION FROM THE CURRENT CITY RESIDENTIAL CODE. The proposed high -density residential development includes new multi -story homes that will 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. 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. Additionally, 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. 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 you to deny 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 concems seriously and work towards a solution that maintains the character and quality of life we have come to value.

From: Julie Jacob < Sent: Monday, November 20, 2023 10:33 AM To: Julie Jacob Subject: Opposition to Zoning Change Request - Grapevine Springs (Z23-03, PD23-02) *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** City Council Members - My name is Julie Jacob and I am a property owner who's back fence abuts to the Grapevine Springs property for which a zoning change is requested. I am writing today asking you to please stand up for me and my neighbors this week by voting against the requested zoning change. Over 44% of the residents and commercial properties surrounding Grapevine Springs have submitted protest forms against this development to the City. There is a LARGE amount of opposition to the zoning change in addition to the development. This dissent has been expressed to not only to the number and type of homes being proposed but also to the massive change being proposed to the greenspace that would remain should this property be held or developed for its current zoning. The proposed development is not in line with the city's Master Plan which determined that this property should be zoned as light commercial/professional office, as are the other properties along Northwest Highway. I purchased my home because it was bordered by a commercial/single story professional office zoned property. The buildings behind it could not be built taller than 1 story and had to have a building buffer zone that was 2 times the height. The lighting would be far enough away from my fence that it would not affect my yard and it would remain quiet and dark in the non -working hours. Also, the developer would be required to add screening and landscaping to help retain the general status of the neighboring properties. I am asking that you vote against the zoning change to this property and its planned development as it will have a detrimental impact on the value of my property and my neighbor's properties. Having a road placed directly outside my property line will result in an excess amount of noise and referred light directly into my backyard. Without a public road being placed in development, there is no required a buffer zone to reduce the road and traffic noise to me and my neighbors. Currently, I have a wonderfully quiet and peaceful backyard that will change drastically should this zoning be approved. I would not have purchased my home if there was an active residential road directly outside my fence. As proposed, the homes in the Grapevine Springs development will be placed just across this road, just outside our fences and will be built facing our properties. Again, without a variance granted, there would be the required buffer zone that would increase the distance from our fences to these residents' driveways, garages and front doors. As the plan stands today, this will also increase the referred noise not to mention the lack of privacy that we will also be forced to accept when these homes are built. I would not have purchased a home with a row of two-story homes that have direct views into my yard and I doubt others would in the future. Removing the majority of the trees to build this development will put this change in direct conflict with the city's goal for tree preservation. I recently looked at this property and saw that more than 70% of the trees are marked for removal. Not only will the removal of the trees just outside of my property change the entire sun/shade to my backyard but they are also planning on removing a tree that sits IN my fence itself (pictures attached). A removal ribbon was placed on their side of the tree, but they made no mention of its removal to me and the effect that it will have on my property, the building slab its roots run below and my fence. 1 had to review their proposed plans to see that they have a plan that will directly affect my property. Per the plans submitted, the builder will be putting in an eight -foot stone wall that will be separating my property from the new development. This wall replaces a perfectly fine fence that will now be directly layered against this wall which will be unsightly. I would not purchase a lot that is blocked off from its neighbors by a large white wall. This zoningchange should also be denied due to the traffic and safety issues that will be the result of adding this large development on such a small property that's ingress and egress must be made through a neighboring commercial development. Using this commercial property as a passageway creates an unfair burden in the morning and at the end of the day to the patrons and employees of those business. When you consider that each 3+ bedroom home will have at least two cars, creates a glut of an additional 60+ cars passing through that property. In addition to the unfair congestion of the commercial property at Grapevine Springs and Northwest Highway, the increased traffic that would result on Northwest Highway would impact all Grapevine residents and those who use that road to transit the City. At the highest traffic times of the day, a long line of cars stacks up Northwest Highway from 114 to just past Grapevine Springs. This development would add 60+ cars to that back up to create additional delays and longer lines of traffic. That impact should be unacceptable to all of us. The neighborhood proposed does not have extra parking spaces close to the homes to support excess cars for residents and their guests. This almost non-existent number of parking spots increase the likelihood of cars parking illegally along the streets which will be against the fire code for this neighborhood. But, as a variance has been submitted for to use a private road versus public, this safety will not be monitored or ticketed. Does this not bring about safety issues for this neighborhood if the road cannot be transited fire or safety vehicles? Finally, on this private road, there are no turnarounds or cul de sacs proposed to allow for GCISD school buses to pick up or drop off children should there be cars parking along the road. Children will then have to walk through this neighborhood and through the commercial property to catch a school bus on Northwest Highway with its already heavy traffic. This will create an unsafe environment for the children of this neighborhood that we should not allow. I believe that my concerns and my neighbors are realistic and fair. New development in Grapevine should be good for all ap rties and especially for long-time residents of the City. We are focused on this issue and will be watching how the Commission and Council votes. I believe that these concerns should give pause to the P & Z Commission and this council and should be considered in your vote. Please vote AGAINST the zoning change of Grapevine Springs (Z23-03, PD23-02). Thank you for taking the time to read through my concerns.
