It is critical that the City Council gets as much neighborhood feedback as possible to take into consideration on this proposed development. Your opinion as a resident is given considerable weight in this process as the developer is asking for a zoning change as well as multiple modifications.

Neighborhood input is very important for matters of variances, zoning changes and modifications can are given, and your opinion WILL have an impact.

Some tips on writing a letter:

• Be polite
• Be specific. What is it that you are most concerned about? Traffic? Congestion? Safety? Cut-through traffic? Property values?
• Give examples of current issues you observe and relate it to your concerns about this development.
• How will this development affect you, your house, your family and your neighborhood?
• Provide contact information so you can be reached. This adds legitimacy to your correspondence rather than an unsigned letter.

VERY IMPORTANT: Copy the Save Coast Village Road Committee on your letter so we know what has been sent.
