Hi everybody. As you know the apartment proposal is being pushed by the developer to the Lehi City Council. The council will be meeting on Tuesday, April 11 at 7 pm. Please attend so the city council will see that we are serious about this. In talking with the Planning Commission after our last meeting, the public attendance goes a long way. Power in numbers.
Before the meeting, please take the time to drop the city council an email. You may use the template I've attached, or you may write your own. Please be mindful of the following (this is advice I've received from past and present council members from other cities):
1. Present facts. Talk of view and home value is pleaded in every opposition and the city can't legally stop a building because of a blocked view or perceived lost property value.
2. Remain calm. Don't let your emotion get the best of you with mean comments or threats.
Here are some ideas for facts you can use:
1. The property is currently not zoned correctly and the City Planning Commission did not feel this was good use of zoned commercial property
2. This proposal was unanimously voted down by the City Planning Commission. With recommendations such as adversely affecting the health of the surrounding community, proposal does not fit in the city master plan, etc.
3. The proposed site is surrounded by single family residential homes on all sides (most are a single story). The size of the buildings does not fit the community.
4. Even if it were changed to the highest density residential (R-3) the proposed building violates Lehi zoning of 3 stories or 45 feet.
5. Proposed density of 20 units per acre violates Lehi R-3 zoning of a max of 12 units per acre.
6. 90 units will have a significant traffic impact on an already busy intersection, which brings greater safety concern for the hundreds of kids who walk to Fox Hollow Elementary and have to cross that intersection.
