VT Preliminary Plat Plan..pdf
Importance: High
Mr. Mortiz,

As follow-up to our email correspondence earlier this week, please note the following below:

1. As requested to your question #2 below, please find attached .PDF copy of the Preliminary
Plat Plan.

2. In response to your question #6 below, we would like to clarify that the width of the proposed
lots north of those on Acoma is comparable as intended, and there is no
requirement/guarantee for them to be same width, but, again, are comparable. More
importantly, the lot areas vary from approximately 9,597 square feet up to 10,849 square
feet, which is comparable, it not better than all lots on Acoma.

Sincerely,

Drew Huseth, AICP Land Entitlement Manager

Good Morning Mr. Moritz,

By way of email introduction, my name is Drew Huseth with Woodside Homes. George Gehlert,
Senior City Planner, shared your email with us and we thought it would be easiest for us to respond

directly to your questions, which we sincerely appreciate. Please see responses to your specific
comments below.

1. Have all of the other houses on Acoma or 55*? Ave bordering the subject plat also
received the notice referred to above?
Yes. Public Notice was mailed by City of Glendale Planning Staff for all property
owners within 300-feet of the subject site.

2. Could we receive a copy of the proposed plat for our review several days prior to the
council meeting?
Yes. Planning Staff is finalizing their report this week for the commission meeting,
and we will send a copy of the proposed plat by the end of this week.

3. Are they still planning to limit houses north of our lots on Acoma to single story houses
with a 40 foot setback from our North wall?
Yes. Per the Approved PAD, the houses north of the lots on Acoma will be single
story houses with a 40-foot rear yard setback.

4, Will all of the dwellings in the proposed plat (especially adjacent to our home) still be
single family?
Yes. All dwellings in the proposed plat will be traditional detached single family
homes. There are no townhomes in the proposed plat.

5. Will the dwellings be of the same or greater square footage as those on Acoma or ssth
Ave?
Yes, dwelling units will be comparable square footage.

6. Will the width of the proposed lots north of ours be the same since we were initially
informed that the lots and houses would be comparable (or better) than ours?
Yes. The south row of lots north of those on Acoma range from approximately 9,597
square feet up to 10,849 square feet.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Sr. Planning Project Manager Gehlert,
We have lived in our current house at 5722 West Acoma since January of 1978.

We received a notice today of a Planning Commission meeting concerning the subject case to be
held in the Glendale Council Chambers on Sept. 3, 2020 at 6 PM.

This notice indicated that we should contact you to learn more or provide input about the
application submitted by Heather Davenport of Woodside Homes. It is difficult to provide input
since we have not seen the preliminary plans.

We would like to learn more so we can provide suitable comments.
Specifically:
