Subject: Stop 4302 Ford Petition
From Liz Vaughan

I am opposed to the proposed project for 4302 Ford Rd for the following reasons:
1) The driveway is hazardous. Delivery trucks would be forced to back in and out at a sharp
angle across the bike path and sidewalk because the plan does not include an area to turn around.
Also, the driveway would be squeezed between the entrance to the park and the existing utility
building driveway, across a bike path frequented by kids riding bikes to and from CDM
Middle/High School.
2) The increased population adjacent to the park would impede use by existing residents and
likely impact the parking, as well. The proposed project meets the 2-per-unit code requirement,
however many of the parking spaces are tandem so It is reasonable to assume the park's public
parking lot will be used by residents and guests of the project. The parking is already inadequate
during youth sporting events.
3) Multi-family housing is not in keeping with the existing single-family neighborhood. The
proposed 21 units on a 1.3 acre lot will consist of 63 bedrooms. This is approximately 3 times the
density of the adjacent housing.
I ask that the City deny the General Plan Amendment and rezoning of the parcel at 4302 Ford Rd
to multi-family residential.
Thank you.
