Some of the tweets

Currently, they could do about 12 units. Want to rezone to get about 23
Lots of questions about what the homeowners’ expectations were about the future growth of the neighborhood
Schools are overcapacity, “Audience – currently Brownsville site says capacity is 715 and they are at 830. (I think I heard that right) “
Me: trying to figure out if they are upset about not knowing more houses are coming to the growth area, or that the rezoning is for ~2X as many homes as allowed by right?
If You Don’t Own It, It’s Going to Change
Me: As a Realtor, it’s hard hearing these kinds of conversations. People buy with certain expectations; it’s tough when those aren’t met.
Neighbor – you say you’ll preserve trees and such. Where?
A: shows the picture that they’ve already said is a very preliminary representation.
CCAC member to buyers – did you all look at the master plan before you bought?
one neighbor – I talked to the builder & they said probably not.

another – we thought there’d be more houses, but absolutely not 23 houses
Neighbor – now, our neighborhood blends right now, but the new phase won’t look anything like what’s there now. The new houses will be so much smaller & won’t fit in. How will you integrate it so it *looks* like part of our neighborhood ?
Talking about lot sizes, houses sizes, house values. CCAC member saying smaller houses = lower value.
Me: so what?
