in the winter.) Further, Mr. Keuler's attorneys have assured the Town Board that their intent is to <br /> construct $500,000 houses on these sites. Such houses are often quite large and difficult to hide. <br /> In statements before the Town Board the attorneys for Mr. Keuler have promised to <br /> "negotiate" with the neighbors to try to "work things out". This hasn't happened. When we <br /> initiated contact we were told that the locations of the houses could be discussed after the rezone <br /> was approved. To our knowledge no discussions have been held with any other neighbors. <br /> We have heard the configuration of this proposed development described as a "cluster" of <br /> houses. The overall site is more than one-half mile long and one-quarter mile wide, and includes <br /> 66 or 67 acres. This is a rather "loose" cluster. If dimensions of these kinds are used, most of <br /> the recent development in our area can be considered "clustered". Sprawl is a more accurate <br /> term for this proposed development. <br /> In addition there is still a safety concern where the proposed Town Road would access <br /> Highway 19. <br /> In summary, although some of the technical difficulties with the proposed rezone have <br /> been addressed in the current revision, the fundamental issues that were raised during previous <br /> considerations of this proposal remain. The rezone will have a negative impact on our farm <br /> business. The rezone will place at least three large houses in the face of visitors to Indian Lake <br /> Park. The rezone violates the Town of Berry land use plan. Development will be allowed on <br /> steep slopes within the rather small and fragile Indian Lake watershed and environmental <br /> degradation within that watershed is likely. <br /> A copy of our earlier letter with objections to this rezone is attached. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> (%?e Q-e ?-e,)</eLex_Y <br /> Chris Upper Karen Upper <br />
