In the first neighborhood meeting, strong concerns over the traffic impacts to the intersection of 74th Avenue and Claremont were
raised. Residents also felt that the 74th Ave access point should align with an existing street instead of the adjacent property
walls. Neighbors felt the proposed site density was too dense for the area in comparison to surrounding neighborhoods and didn't
like the row of houses proposed along 74th Avenue, which made the site have a "domino" effect and gave the site a closed off
feel, preventing surrounding neighbors from walking around and enjoying the new development. In response to the above
concerns, the development team redesigned the site by removing the eastern row of lots and added instead a large landscape
buffer along 74th Ave with a pedestrian connection to the main, public amenity. A landscape buffer and large, 60'- wide lots were
placed along the northern boundary against the undeveloped agricultural property. The 74th Ave entrance was also moved to
align with Rose Lane and Beazer Homes is seeking to help mitigate traffic on 74th Ave and Claremont by adding speed cushions.
The letters provided residents and interested parties with an opportunity to attend the
Neighborhood Meetings. Additionally, we responded via phone and email to all input and
comments received from parties affected by our application and will continue to follow-up as
necessary to ensure proper responses are provided.

In the first neighborhood meeting, strong concerns over the traffic impacts to the intersection of 74th Avenue and Claremont were
raised. Residents also felt that the 74th Ave access point should align with an existing street instead of the adjacent property walls.
Neighbors felt the proposed site density was too dense for the area in comparison to surrounding neighborhoods and didn't like the
row of houses proposed along 74th Avenue, which made the site have a "domino" effect and gave the site a closed off feel,
preventing surrounding neighbors from walking around and enjoying the new development.
In response to the above concerns, the development team redesigned the site by removing the eastern row of lots and added
instead a large landscape buffer along 74th Ave with a pedestrian connection to the main, public amenity. A landscape buffer and
large, 60'- wide lots were placed along the northern boundary against the undeveloped agricultural property. The 74th Ave
entrance was also moved to align with Rose Lane.
To assist in mitigating the 74th Ave and Claremont concerns, Beazer Homes will provide speed cushions along 74th Ave. Beazer
maintains, however, that this is an existing condition and our traffic impacts do not warrant this improvement being a condition of
approval for the proposed preliminary plat.
As stated previously, the development team redesigned the site by removing the eastern row of lots and added instead a large
landscape buffer along 74th Ave with a pedestrian connection to the main, public amenity. A landscape buffer and large, 60'- wide
lots were placed along the northern boundary against the undeveloped agricultural property. The 74th Ave entrance was also
moved to align with Rose Lane.

Subject: NEC 75th Avenue and Bethany Home Road 
Dear Neighbor: 
This letter is to inform you that I am applying for a Preliminary Plat application with the 
City of Glendale.  The property is generally located at northeast corner of 75th Avenue 
and Bethany Home Road in the Yucca District. 
Beazer Homes is seeking to develop this ±17.73-acre vacant property, zoned R1-6, into a vibrant 
residential community with 80 proposed 45’ x 115’ lots and a gross density of 4.48 dwelling units 
per acre. The subject site is conveniently located approximately 3-miles in between two major 
thoroughfares including Grand Avenue and the 101 Freeway. This infill development is also 
nestled in between existing single-family housing on the east, west, and south and is also adjacent 
to the Glendale Elementary School District #40. Independence High School is not far away, 
located less than half a mile away from the site. I have included a site plan and photograph with 
this letter for your review.   
A virtual neighborhood meeting will be held to discuss any questions or comments you may have 
regarding the proposed development. In order to meet social distancing requirements during this 
COVID-19 medical crisis, this meeting will be held electronically via GoToMeeting, a free online 
meeting service.

Meeting Summary: 
A neighborhood meeting was held at the above listed date, time and place to discuss a proposed 
Preliminary Plat request for a single-family residential development, located on the northeast corner 
of 75th Avenue and Bethany Home Road, within the City of Glendale. Natalie Griffin of EPS Group 
hosted the meeting and gave a PowerPoint presentation, which is included with this report. Following 
the presentation, a Question & Answer Session was in held in which members of the public were able 
to ask questions and give comments, to which the Development Team responded to. Th
comments and concerns are described below: 
➢ Lot and Home Sizes 
The proposed density did not receive public support and it was requested that the community match 
surrounding densities. The Development Team stated that the proposed lot sizes meet the criteria 
of the R1-6 PRD zoning designation, but will take the recommendation into consideration.  
➢ 
 
The proposed lot layout and circulation did not receive public support and it was requested that the 
developer incorporate curvilinear streets and/or cul-de-sacs. The Development Team stated that we 
will take the recommendation into consideration and we move forward with the design. 
➢ Traffic Impact to 75th Ave & Bethany Home Road Intersection 
The public warned the Development Team of already high volumes of traffic on this intersection as 
well as a high frequency of traffic accidents, which impact the surrounding neighborhoods when

traffic has to be detoured. They felt that an additional 78 lots would add to the volume of traffic and 
cause residents to use 74th Street. The Development Team has contracted with a Traffic Engineer and 
will work together with the City on analysis and mediation. 
➢ Traffic Impact to 74th Avenue 
The public warned the Development Team of already high volumes of traffic on 74th Avenue. While 
-of-way on 74th Avenue, the public 
felt this would cause problems when making turns onto/off of Claremont Ave, which would remain 
a half street. The Development Team has contracted with a Traffic Engineer and will work together 
with the City on analysis and mediation. 
Additionally, the public did not like the proposed Peck Street/secondary access which is 
perpendicular to two homes in the adjacent neighborhood. They suggested moving or eliminating 
the drive to prevent more people from using the road as a main point of access. The Development 
Team stated that we will take the recommendation into consideration and we move forward with 
the design.  
 
Conclusion:   
The meeting was adjourned at 6:53 PM when no other questions or comments were requested. Natalie 
Griffin gave EPS Group and Beazer Homes contact information so that attendees may reach out in the 
future.
