The request is to rezone approximately 1 .0 acres of land located along Sycamore Street from R-1 (Low Density Residential) to R-1 .5 (Moderate Density Residential) to allow the development of an upper-scale 6-unit residential Planned Unit Development. The owner does intend to offer the units for individual sale upon completion of the project, and has agreed to offer a Bill of Assurance for the property that would limit the development of the property to six units per acre. The property surrounding this site is currently zoned R-1 , R-0, R-1 .5, and P-1 . We feel that the owner's proposed use of this property conforms with the general use of the surrounding property, and believe that the proposed rezoning to R-1 .5 will not significantly increase the potential for traffic problems in the area over that for the existing R-1 zoning. The City Planning Staff supported this rezoning request at the Planning Commission meeting, and a majority of the Planning Commissioners present at that meeting voted in favor of the rezoning. Unfortunately, there were only six Planning Commissioners present at the meeting, and the request received only four favorable votes (one short of the five required for rezoning approval). We greatly appreciate your thoughtful consideration regarding this matter. Sincerely, CRAFTON, TULL & ASSOCIATES, INC. ATLAS CONSTRUCTION /rI. J. Jones, P. �I F� rancittFerg n P.O. Box 1173 / 2345 N.

October 7, 1999 24 W Poplar Fayetteville, Ar. 72703 To Whom It May Concern, I was informed there is a possibility of an apartment complex being built on Sycamore just South of where I live. I would like to let you know I really hope this does not from a very rural area in Missouri to be claw to my I recently moved here in this area was because there were no 1tlY family due to an illness. One reason I chose to live traffic and the constant movement of apartment buildings and I would not have to deal with all the like the area and can deal with the school�ltraffi and out of the area. This would be very upsetting to me. I constant traffic due to an increased number of c by timing trips when the school traffic is over but the citizens. cars is something that could be very dangerous to us Senior I feel safe in this area now but with the constant change of the surrounding enviornment which always happens in a multi-housing area on thecomerof d be very 'r°�tt`'� I ask you to please examine closely the request for this building. I see signsGregg street and Miller for places to rent and it never seems to be rented to capacity. Do you really think we need additional housing of that type in this areal Thanks for taking time to read my letter and giving this matter consideration.

I own my home, and I have lived here for three years. I take pride in my property and care about the value of my property. I am concerned about the possibility of apartments being built on Sycamore. I think the increase in traffic and the presence of renters will affect my property value. The zoning regulations should not permit an apartment building to be placed in a residential neighborhood; furthermore, these apartments would back up to Woodland Junior High. This will also cause a problem. I taught at Walton Junior High in Bentonville. There are apartments located next to the school. There were often fights in the apartment parking lot. As teachers, we had no authority to interfere since the students were off school grounds. The students would go there to drink, smoke, and play bookie in groups. Frequently, students would leave campus without permission at lunch. Their parents were not at home, and the students were not chaperoned. This is a liability for the school district to have children coming and going. Please consider not only the safety of the neighborhood kids, but also consider the safety of the students at Woodland Junior High. Then ask yourself this question. Would you want apartments in your neighborhood? Sincerely, CO- Courtney Dawson r October 7 , 1999 To whom it may concern : We are writing to express our concern over the proposed apartment complexes being build on the corner of Sycamore and Woodland streets . Thb traffic in that area is already a major problem . The apartments being built in such close proximity to Woodland Junior High and the Richardson Center is going to add greatly to those problems that already exist . Please take this into consider- ation when the vote on rezoing comes before you and we ask that you refrain from any rezoing that allows the apartments to be built there . Thank you for your consideration . Sincerely , Sondra and Mahlon Gibson To the Planning Commission, 1 have lived in Fayetteville at 1901 Woodland since 1960, and I believe I know why apartments have not been zoned for this neighborhood. The increased traffic they would cause is a risk to the children at Woodland Junior High School and especially to the children of the Richardson Center which was added since I have lived here. This risk is truer now than ever because traffic now is higher than ever without adding apartments to it. For the sake of the children and for the sake of the neighborhood that I 've called home for 39 years, please do not approve this zoning change.
