QC Development and Neil Parker finally backed down after this relentless fight. We stopped their greedy project from destroying our neighborhood. Stay sharp because we need to make sure they actually respect this decision.

Final supporters
QC Development and owner Neil Parker are requesting the land be rezoned directly to the west of the current WaterCrest Landing subdivision along Woodsonia street to allow for the construction of several 4-story apartments totaling 698 rental units and related parking area.
This rezoning would also allow for access to this new complex via an extension of Woodsonia street to 83rd street to the north and Prairie Star Parkway to the south as well as directly through WaterCrest Landing via W. 89th St. and W. 89th Terrace (roundabout at Black Hoof Park).
These apartments will impact residential property values in the surrounding areas, greatly increase traffic, add parking issues and safety concerns for the residents of WaterCrest Landing and neighboring communities who currently enjoy Lake Lenexa, will increase noise/activity in the neighborhood and be a 4 story eyesore. Please help us oppose the rezoning that would allow for the construction of high density apartments and parking.
The picture above shows the location at the end of 89th Street (just west of Woodsonia) where the apartments are being proposed. Also note that the soil berm shown in this picture is temporary and will eventually be removed regardless of what is built across the street.
Sign this petition if you opposed the construction of a high-density 698 unit rental apartment complex west of 89th and Woodsonia!

We just hit 250 signatures and QC Development needs to understand that we are not backing down. Neil Parker thinks he can just bulldoze our neighborhood with his 698 rental units but this number proves the community is wide awake and angry.

This development would create a substantial increase in dangerous traffic too near this peaceful recreation area we use frequently. We enjoy the quiet escape to lake lenexa. Having apartment traffic would increase not only road traffic, but trail traffic as well. No thank you.
A complex like this will negatively impact the property values in neighborhoods and homes closest to it as well as the concerns from increased traffic flow through these neighborhoods. A 700 unit complex is a significant concern.
I oppose more apartments in Lenexa. It is time for the city council to consider how homeowners, who pay taxes, feel. Apartments definitely lower property values when they become run down. I saw it happen in Merriam and in Shawnee.
Please don't build any more apartments! Lenexa has enough. It will add too much traffic and attract a more transient population. We would rather see patio homes or small ranch homes for aging baby boomers.
We moved to this neighborhood because of the green space and the low density of housing. We were NEVER informed that apartments and townhomes were going to be built next door. Had we known, we would not have chosen this location. We are strongly opposed to the proposed construction of these apartments.

Changing the zoning from Medium-Residential/ Office to High Residential, including high-rise apartments, does not seem to be a good fit for this location. Please send the developers back to the drawing board to come back with something less dense for this area that fits in better with the appropriate zoning.
