Re: Seaview -9 lot subdivision
We, and many of residents near and around the 9 lot Seaview subdivision became aware of the
project about 6 months ago. At that time we saw several things,( please refer to letters on file)
that we felt were not in the best interest of the surrounding neighborhoods. We had several
meetings and talked with you and Joe Gallagher, along with an independent engineering
consultant.
It is now our understanding that the important issues have been addressed, such as the grading
(no fill and the site is balanced), drainage (french drains and excavation at the bottom of the
Seaview Subdivision and up the north side if necessary), the developer agreed to create CC&R's
to maintain the slopes and restrict the tree height no higher than the eves of the Seaview homes,
the developer also agreed to lowering the height of the overall house to better fit into the
surrounding neighborhood.
This was the first experience working with the City and a developer on something so near and
personal as this project being built "next door" for most of us. We are pleased to see our
opinions were not ignored, in fact most were well received by staff and Joe Gallagher, and the
result is we all have a better project.
I would like to thank you for all your help and hard work. We are looking forward to seeing this
finished project as an addition to our neighborhood. Now it is up to MSK Development/Joe
Gallagher to build the quality homes we all talked about and agreed to.
Sincerely
