Here are the tweets from last night. It was a good discussion; I encourage you to dig in and read them all.

 

Still thinking about this. Basing any development plan on a pie in the sky “plan“ that might happen one day, is absurd. https://t.co/UHzdyGTjAq

A couple of the tweets, though

CCAC meeting begins. Lots of new faces. Betting it has to do with Chesterfield. I could be wrong. #CCAC1218

Chesterfield Landing is calling it as ideal for walking to Brownsville. That in 2010, the approved transit plan (hope) was to have trails in place to schools

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?
