Opposition to 6 Story Apartment Building on Country Club Dr

The proposed development does not reflect the character of the existing neighborhood. The driving range and adjacent golf course provides for the preservation of open space that gives the community an identity. A large residential complex would change the character of the neighbor with increased traffic and higher density housing is not a use that fits with the existing low density housing and small business. Please maintain the natural integrity of the neighborhood by rejecting this proposal.

Country club drive is not adequate to handle this amount of traffic.

Forever change the solitude of this neighborhood

Height of building is not in keeping with the surroundings and traffic will be a concern

We have enough apartments in the city as it is. Put single family homes or even townhomes in that space versus some six story eyesore.

Main concerns here are traffic issues on Country Club drive not only during construction but moving forward. Any construction here must include through road to Douglas to divert much of this directly to 55 or north.

Too big of a development for the proposed location.

This plan will dramatically change the character of this quiet neighborhood and our experience living near it as a resident will be negatively impacted. I strongly oppose this plan.

Traffic concern on Country Club Drive!

NO - too many reasons to list

I oppose the height and massive scale of this proposed development in a residential neighborhood. It will dwarf nearby homes. It will destroy trees and loom over trees remaining, becoming an eyesore and an environmental deficit.. It should not be granted a zoning change.

As a member of the community with a young child and another arriving shortly, it is of great concern that traffic will be increasing on this road. The design to enter the road is already poor at best, and encourages a dangerous speed when exiting Highway 55. There are also multiple businesses along Country Club Drive that serve as medical rehabilitation homes. The residents there deserve a safe place to access the sidewalks and cross to utilize the Luce Line Trail safely, since the city has already neglected any cautionary signs or crosswalks. I doubt that by adding traffic on such narrow lane roads with heavy pedestrian traffic on both sides is the proper or responsible decision to be made.

I am surprised to hear that the Golden Valley CC is having financial difficulties. Especially when the parking lot is pretty full nd there is a lot of golfers on the course. I do not feel the design is something that would fit in the Schuller neighborhood. The level of traffic would increase and there would be more traffic outside of rush hour. I think the Country club should sell the land an make it part of the development of the Optum property. The access would be off Douglas. Which would bot affect the traffic.

This kind of stuff is one of the reasons we moved a year or so ago. This council will do anything to turn a buck...even go against the city plan they requisitioned 18 months ago

We do not need this. We need trees and the green space.

A point I neglected to mention, I am also self employed and work from home and worry about the construction noise. My neighbor, a journalist works from home, their immediate neighbors are teachers who work from home. I would like to see potential noise studies done for our 100 year old homes in a neighborhood of people who currently work from home due to, and before Covid.

Now that I'm working from home, any additional noise on Country Club Drive would be very disruptive.

This is a very peaceful residential homeowner/family neighborhood, and one of the biggest reasons to reside in this area is because of the neighborhood being as such. A 6 story apartment building would absolutely destroy this area. Build some small homes or townhomes instead...or better yet keep as is and sell historical golf course to another golf company as they tried to a few years ago...

My husband and I and our 2 children live on Country Club Drive. We strongly oppose another apartment complex or condo complex in the area, especially if the entrance were to be on Country Club Drive. We are very concerned about the increase in traffic on our little neighborhood streets and disappointed at the thought of the proposed giant eye sore in place of the current green space. A charming 2-story townhome complex, similar to the nearby units on Golden Valley Rd, would be a much more suitable alternative for the neighborhood and location, especially if accessed via Douglas Dr with no entrance on Country Club Dr.

Too BIG!
