Final supporters
A rezoning application, PD18-0033 (Genecov Investments) will be presented to the Tyler City Council on April 24th, 2019 for approval. It includes provisions for the construction of up to 525 new Apartment Units in and around Hollytree and on Cumberland Road (This equates to an additional 2,100+ residents in the area).
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to: NOT Approve PD18-0033 as currently written and request that it be sent back to Planning & Zoning for further study. We further request that any re-write of the application NOT include provisions for Apartment Complexes.
We feel that key issues of health, safety and welfare for the citizens of Tyler have NOT been addressed in this application. Specifically: 1) Traffic and Pedestrian Safety. 2) School Overcrowding. 3) Infrastructure Limitations: Police, Fire, Water, etc. 4) Property Value Impacts.
We also feel that Tyler's Uniform Development Code would be violated if this this is approved as written. Tyler UDC (Sec. 10-8.a.6) Herein, Planning and Zoning is charged to "protect the character of established residential neighborhoods"

We live in Knollwood Subdivision and driving into and leaving the only two exits to our neighborhood is very difficult as it is now!!! But with all the apartments they are wanting to build on Cumberland Road will cause more traffic on Old Jacksonville!!!! Totally against this!!!!
We need more garden homes and over 55 communities not more apartments. The Hollytree area cannot handle the traffic with apartment construction. Developsers need to think more about keeping our environment beautiful instead of just mowing down trees to build another convenience store. !!!!
Please reconsider this request. This area is full of wildlife which would be forced to move. One of the main reasons I moved out to this part of town was the quiet and beauty of the area. Not to mention the low crime rate. Apartments and renters bring in all kinds that don't care about the area. This is not what most of us want in the area.
These issues must be resolved (traffic, school overcrowding, etc.) before adding more people & congestion to the area. If there is passage, then these Apartments need to be of a higher construction quality than so many recently built, as they deteriorate considerably within 5 years! Rediculous!
The board needs to put Tyler ahead of their own personal gains. Board members being part of The same company wanting to build the apartment seems extremely biased in their vote. How is this legal??!?
opposed to re-zoning
Apartments ? Oh heck no !!

We moved to this neighborhood for a reason. We pay a huge premium to live here, and now we want out. I don’t want to be surrounded by apartments for several reasons: home values, traffic and the seclusion we will no longer have. There will be no more appeal to live here.
