Opposition to Approve Re-Zoning Application Z-12 for Richard Duncan Land Investments, LLC
To the Homeowners of Highland Ridge,Highland Pointe, The Grove and MountainCreek EstatesSubdivisions, Collectively further referred to as theCommunities of Mountain Road
This petition serves as the collective voice of the homeownersof the Communities of Mountain Road,expressing opposition to the proposed rezoning of the lots 3665 Mountain Rd, Marietta GA 30066(currently zoned R-20, 1.83 Acres) and 3675 Mountain Rd, Marietta GA 30066 (currently zoned R-30, 2.592 Acres).
We stand that the current zoning of the 2 lots should togetherbe zoned R-30 as the larger track of the property is zoned as such. While the proposed rezoning from R-30 & R-20 to R-15 will have direct effects to the immediate surrounding lots of the property in Highland Ridge, andadverse effects to the neighboring communities will results as well. It is important to the Communitiesof Mountain Road that we have representation of unified support/or majority for our immediate neighbors and surrounding neighbors as a whole.

The developers are pushing ahead with this rezoning application but our neighborhood is not backing down. Please email your local county representative today to demand they protect the integrity of our current zoning laws.

The momentum behind this opposition is undeniable and proves our neighborhood refuses to be overlooked. Email your county representative today to ensure they understand the scale of this resistance. Text three neighbors to get them on board before the next board meeting.

I am concerned about traffic, having a road in my back yard, construction noise, run-off from the road, maintenance of the strip of land between the road and the back of the homes, street lights in both front of houses and now back of houses, the discrepancy of home sizes between the zoning app and what we've been told verbally. These issues must be addressed to our satisfaction to gain concurrence
The following discrepancies stated between HOA President Highland Ridge and Richard Duncan: What Richard told HOA Presiden Kiffer Andress: - Houses are at a minimum 3,000 sq. ft. while most will be around 3,500 sq. ft. or larger - Price range is $550,000-$650,000 - Craftsman style homes What was actually printed on the application with the County: Houses minimum of 2,400sq feet Price Range $450,000-$550,000 Craftsman style: brick, stone, batten board, shake or combination thereof
NO!!!!!!!!! Area is already over crowded. Lot is too small for this number of proposed homes.
Highland Ridge, 4522 Outlook Drive
Proposed homes not consistent with the area.
too many homes now feeding into Mountain Road
Please deny the request, area already overcrowded!

Mountain road is already dangerous- notorious for speeding. This road needs HUGE speed bumps and better striping. The intersection at Mountain Road NE and Sandy Plains is dangerous and needs a red light. Home styling and zoning should be consistent with the surrounding area.
