Woodside Homes has proposed building apartments on the east side of Stonehaven in Foxboro North.
The North Salt Lake City Council must approve the proposal and allow Woodside to change the original building plans. Original building plans were to build town-homes.
Sign this petition and tell the City Council NOT to approve the proposal and hold Woodside to the original plan!
Reasons you should oppose the proposal and voice your opinion to the city are as follows:
1. Proposed apartment rents are between $800 and $1,200. These low rents will lower your property value (for that reason apartments are not built on the East side of Bountiful and East side of North Salt Lake).
2. If you choose to rent your town-home or home, your rent will compete with apartment rents.
3. New apartments will stretch for nearly a mile on Redwood Road combining with an already existing 220 unit apartment complex just south of Foxboro North. Imagine apartment buildings even half as big as the ones south of Foxboro North.
4. New apartments will block your view of the mountains. Probably not what you paid for when you bought your town-home or house.
5. In all likelihood, apartment tenants will use both their own facilities as well as the Foxboro Clubhouse.
6. Apartments will not be managed by Woodside. Good Landlord agreements will not guarantee good tenants. Especially with rents as low as they are.
7. Apartment tenants do not own their apartment. Unlike townhome and home owners, there is no vested interest in the area.
8. Town-home and home owners alike purchased in the area based on the original Woodside plan, not alternate proposals that help Woodside’s profitability.
I have finalized a formal document outlining our legal objections to the zoning variance requested by Woodside Homes. This brief is being delivered to the North Salt Lake City Council office later today to ensure it is included in the official record for the next hearing.

The scale of this response confirms the level of public interest required to challenge the current proposal. I am finalizing a formal letter to the North Salt Lake City Council that incorporates the primary concerns documented here. A meeting with a representative from the planning department is being scheduled for the coming week.

Too many apartments already down the road. Traffic is a nightmare as it is without adding hundreds more units right here.

This is total bull. Woodside needs to stick to what they promised us in the first place instead of trying to squeeze more money out of the land.

Our clubhouse is already packed on weekends. No way are we sharing it with a whole new apartment complex.

We bought here because of the mountain views and the quiet. Putting apartments right on Redwood will ruin everything for us. Keep the original plan.
