As a resident of Westview Terrace, I am strongly opposed to Variance Request #2018-1572.
This Variance Request would prevent the extension of Maybank Dr. through the 5-acre site north of Reverse St & Teluco. Wile the variance request is to prevent the extension of Maybank Dr, the approval of this variance would limit access to future developments on this 5-acre site to either Long Point or Reverse St. The Westview Terrace Civic Association has learned that it is the developer’s intention to make Reverse St. the Single Point of access into the proposed development. So while the variance request itself is separate matter from the use of Reverse St as a point of access, it is the first step in making Reverse St a point of access to the 51 homes proposed on the 5-acre site to which only Reverse St would be used for access.
Furthermore, the residents of Westview Terrace request that Brenda
Stardig’s office support us in opposing this variance and recommend to the City
that it be denied. Instead the builder should create access to his/her
development though Long Point, which
is designed to accommodate high volume traffic safely.

The feedback from our neighborhood regarding the proposed development has been consistent and telling. I am currently documenting these concerns to present directly to the planning committee during our upcoming review.

I strongly appose this variance. Opening up Reverse Street and Westview Terrace to Long Point will increase traffic and crime by making a cut through for cars coming from Long Point and Hempstead Highway to Westview, avoiding the lights on Silber. Increased traffic through neighborhood streets will increase accidents, and make it easier to burglarize home and cars in the neighborhood. It will create an easy escape route, and less awareness of suspicious activity by residents.
As a resident/taxpayer living in Westview Terrace, I am strongly opposed to this variance request. This developer has an access point at Long Point and Maybank. Granting this variance would increase traffic, decrease safety and devalue property for hundreds of residents of Westview Terrace which should outweigh the developers economic interest. Please deny this request.
I am against this, they need to make an access from Long Point, This is a small neighborhood and I would like it to stay this way. we will end up with more traffic and the kids will not be safe to play in the streets, ride bikes etc.. There is no reason for them to have access through Reverse St. Mimi
We moved to this neighborhood because of the quiet streets. We want to live in a neighborhood where our children can ride bikes in the streets safely.
I strongly oppose this variance.
Please oppose Variance Request #2018-1572. To give the new townhome community their own and better access to a main road that can handle additional traffic, it is best for all parties involved to have their main point of access and neighborhood entrance on Long Point.
I oppose this variance as it would result in a safety hazard for this Spring Branch neighborhood. It encroaches a physical detriment on the taxpayers and owners of the affected adjacent neighborhood.

We bought this house so our kids could play outside. Passing this variance will severely endanger their safety. Please, Brenda and all those involved - this can easily be resolved by making the new development's entrance be on Long Point only, instead of into our neighborhood.
