A zoning change has been initiated by Jack Falletta to rezone the remainder of Clairmont Park from single-family/garden home district (R2/5) to a patio home district (R6). These could be similar to (or smaller than) “The Cottages” that are in the process of being built just behind Lowe’s. These can be attached homes and can have lots as small as 40 feet.

This type of change would likely decrease our home values, dramatically increase traffic on Weaver Ave and within the neighborhood, and would potentially lead to a large number of renters that may not be invested in the upkeep of the property. In addition, another entrance would potentially be added to the neighborhood which could increase crime due to the ability to drive through. Much of the current wooded area would also be demolished to make space for these clustered homes which would certainly decrease privacy between homes.

We would all be interested in homes continuing to be built but ones that are similar in nature to the current homes.

Please join us in saying NO to this rezoning request. Let’s stand together and keep our neighborhood quiet and peaceful!
