We are objecting to the proposed Land Use/Zoning Change requested by M/I Homes near Commons Drive & 75th st in Aurora, Illinois. The proposed building project is by M/I Homes
The subject vacant farmland was originally zoned for single family, low density (one house per acre) homes . To now change the zoning to multi-family, (6-7 homes per acre) is a “taking” from property values from neighboring sub-divisions. We stand firmly against this proposal which would have an overall detrimental effect on neighboring subdivisions.
Furthermore, the area in which we live and pay taxes has already experienced massive growth in population. The additional homes, cars and people coming into the Aurora/Naperville/Oswego area is a burden to the existing infrastructure and has lessened the quality of life we sought when we moved to this area and invested in our homes. It seems government is now more interested in acquiring taxpayers rather than focusing on ensuring the safety and well-being of the people who are already residents – and taxpayers. We simply cannot afford any more residential development in this area.
We request that M/I NOT be allowed to change the Land Use/Zoning for their contemplated project. We look forward to a response from the Planning and Zoning Division as we explore what options are open to us as current homeowners in trying to retain the value of our homes and prevent any further degradation of quality of life.

I have been reviewing the comments you left and the level of concern for our neighborhood character is overwhelming. This land was promised to be low density housing and we refuse to let that vision be ignored by developers. I am gathering all these notes to present at the next planning meeting.

Seeing this level of support confirms that our neighborhood values are not just numbers on a page. The growing resistance to this zoning change proves that we will not let our community be overlooked by developers.

The area i believe is already densely populated. Also due to its vicinity to store and route 59 will make the already challenging situation with busy roads worse than ever.
It will overcrowd the neighborhood. Single family homes are fine but not high density apartments
We already have stretched and overloaded the infrastructure. By approving this will deteriorate the condition. M/I Homes cares about making money by selling and taking the advantage of the ripple effect of property value. The take it and walk out. So, I strongly oppose and consider the effect of it in future.
I certainly disagree with this zoning change. It is utterly irresponsible to propose these changes without thinking through on the schooling, traffic and other changes that this requests. Our schools are already overcrowded especially the Metea and Nequa Valley lately, these type of irresponsible decisions and later requesting increases in property taxes to pay for another new high school is not the path forward. I am strongly against this change
The city must care to notify every homeowner at least within a half mile radius. Not just to people living within 250 feet. So current residents can be aware and express their view.
No to high density
No

To Whom It Concerns, I would like to give my input regarding the potential construction in the mentioned property. This concerns me because I find that there are more negatives to this project than positives. This impacts our neighborhood because it is damaging to our homes’ property values. We hope to better our community. Doing this does not achieve this. We hope that we can demonstrate this concern at the upcoming public hearing. We hope that the administration will listen and consider our opinion in this matter, as this will affect us the most. Sincerely, Afreen Ziauddin (Resident since 2000)
