As we all know, Savannah Commons subdivision, located at 351 Pitts School Road has become an eye sore over the years. The current 4 houses are now in foreclosure with F&M Bank. The new property owner has sold 7 lots to Eastwood Homes.
Eastwood Homes realized AFTER the property was purchased, that there was a Conditional Use Permit. Eastwood Homes should have done their due diligence PRIOR to purchasing the lots. Now, Eastwood Homes request to have this permit amended. They have asked for:
1. To allow stacked stone as a feature option
2. Mandatory 2 car garage with double with driveways (already in permit)
3. An active homeowners association (already in permit)
4. Authorize minimum square footages of between 1800-3000 square feet.
They believe everything else associated with the property to be acceptable.
Basically the only thing they are asking is to reduce the square feet.
Why??? **The original petetion states the houses will be 2157-2540 square feet.**
This range is within the range Eastwood requests. So why do they need this changed? If the petition is changed, this will allow Eastwood Homes to build houses at 1800 square feet.
Please sign this petition and let the City of Concord's Development Service Department know that the Carolando residents are AGAINST amending the current Conditional Use Permit (20-04).

I have been hearing from so many of you who are worried about how these smaller houses will change our neighborhood. Their team thinks we will just accept these changes because they failed to check the rules before buying the land. We are keeping the pressure on the planning office to hold them to the original standard.

Seeing this kind of movement in our neighborhood fills me with hope. Our community is showing that we refuse to let our property standards be compromised for the sake of a builder's convenience.

Stay firm! They didnt do their homework now they want us to pay the price. Keep the standards high.
NO MORE REDUCING SQUARE FOOTAGE. Our property values matter.
Eastwood knew what they were buying. They just want to cram as many cheap houses in there as they can. Keep the current requirements and dont let them cut corners.
If they cant follow the original permit then they shouldnt have bought the land. Simple as that.
This really feels like they are just looking for ways to maximize their profit at the expense of everyone else living here already. Very disappointed.

So tired of these builders moving in and trying to change the rules after the fact. Stick to your word.
