The developers behind this West Lake plan think we will just roll over and accept their high density nightmare. They are dead wrong because I have spent the last few days meeting with planning officials to ensure they know exactly whose neighborhoods they are trying to ruin.

The momentum behind this push is undeniable and it proves the developers are ignoring the people who actually live here. We have forced them to notice us but now we turn up the heat so they stop pushing this high density garbage on our neighborhood.

I do not support the proposed size and location for this facility. The additional traffic and truck deliveries on Cobblestone Lake Parkway will be a nightmare, and that's not considering the months it will take to build it.
While I welcome additional senior housing to Cobblestone, I am extremely concerned about the massive size - both vertical and horizontal - of the proposed development. The proposed complex would sweep across the entire west end of the lake without a single open sightline through. Entering the neighborhood from 147th street, we would no longer see public park space and lake vistas (the community name is Cobblestone Lake) - it would deadend at a massive monolithic structure. The lake is so charming and open from every other vantage point, development on the west end of the lake should show equal thought and foresight.
The Presbyterian senior complex proposed for Cobblestone Lake is too large (it should be 2 stories only) destroys the neighborhood feel and eliminates the beautiful lake scape and planned park. The traffic and congestion is not keeping with the neighborhood. Most importantly it is not the best location for this project. I understand that it is not financially feasible if scaled down to much. As such it should be built where the size as proposed is not an issue. One such location would be near the existing senior apartments. Building there makes sense in that common resources such as senior friendly parking, parks, walking paths etc could be a shared expense. It also will keep the increased traffic from delivery trucks, ambulances etc to an area where such traffic already exists.
Simply not what was originally planned for this area and sold to the people of Cobblestone. If the project needs variances approved, it might be a very strong clue it isn't the right fit.
A building this tall and dense belongs in downtown Apple Valley, not in an overwhelmingly residential area. It is way too large for this neighborhood and will destroy a natural amenity (Cobblestone Lake and park) that belongs to all city residents. Please reject the zoning change and this proposed project.
Not only I am concerned about the massive size of the proposed complex, but I am startled by the ease of an exchange of a wonderful park space for a less desirable one.
This complex is too massive for a primarily single family development. It should, at a minimum,meet the typical 35 ft max height limit that all buildings (including target) are limited to. This proposal does NOT align with the spirit of the neighbor hood and therefore should be changed! Even I urbanites like Minneapolis there would be more respect to the neighboring properties required, it is quite upsurd to think that a massive 4 story building of this scale should be constructed adjacent to single family homes.

The proposed plan is not keeping with the overall look and feel of the Cobblestone Lake neighborhood. The majority of home owners here are not against senior living, but we are opposed to the size of the complex and the construction traffic in a neighborhood full of small children. Those of us who bought homes here did so because we love the curb appeal, lake views and character the neighborhood has to offer. This complex will certainly end up severely restricting those views, specifically our sunset lake view. We are also opposed to the developer moving a designated park space away from the lakefront. Especially when another swimming pool was promised in the original plans and is certainly needed now that the neighborhood has grown!
