We,the undersigned, acknowledge that the Property owners have the right to build one single family home and one accessory structure on each of their two respective lots; however, do hereby request that the North Augusta City Council deny the rezoning of 007-06-16-011 and 007-06-16-012 (1003 and 1007 Carolina Avenue)from R-14, Large Lot, Single Family Residential to R-10, Medium Lot, Single Family Residential to for the following reasons: 1) Lot sizes of 10,120 SF,as being proposed by the applicant, Glen F Thompson, are out of character with surrounding lots sizes which average 18,725 SF. The two existing lots that are a part of this rezoning petition are currently 15,180 SF, which is below average of the lots in the immediate surrounding area. 2) Although, R-7 zoning exists on lots in the immediate area with minimum lot size 7,000 SF, across W Arlington Heights, to the south, and across Carolina Avenue, to the west,those R-7 lots are considerably larger than the R-1O lots of 10,120 SF being proposed as part of the zoning petition;the nearby R-7 lot size average is 17,482 SF. 3) No other R'10 zoning exists on adjacent lots, or in the immediate area, and this would, therefore, be spot zoning. 4) The applicant further stated that the three lots would share one driveway which would enter and exit on W Arlington Heights, a road which is often used as a cut-through from Carolina Avenue to Georgia Avenue,and which is considered, by the residents who live there,to already be very congested with vehicles that drive at a high rate of speed. Adding additional and concentrated traffic from three new homes would add approximately 30 plus traffic tr/psperdaytoaveryact/veres)denda| stoeet. 5) Planning Commission members and staff at the January 21, 2015 Planning Commission meeting were quick to note that an accessory structure could be located on each of the three newly created lots, if the zoning is approved, thereby potentially creating six new residential structures (and approximately 60 traffic trips per day). 6) Although the applicant stated at the January 21, 2015 Planning Commission meeting that he would build homes similar in style to those in the surround area,the developer cannot be held to a particular building style if the zoning is approved as there is no city design review committee. 7) 6 surrounding residents spoke against the rezoning at the January 21,2016 Planning Commission meeting requesting denial of the rezoning petition; however,due to a duplicate-opinion-prohibition by the Planning Commissioner, most of the 25 attendees did not speak.

Date: February 1, 2016 To: North Augusta City Council From: William Nichols, owner 116 W Arlington Heights Re: RZM 15-005 Rezoning of 007-06-16-011 and 007-06-16-012(1003 and 1007 Carolina Avenue) from R-14, Large Lot, Single Family Residential to R-10, Single Family Residential for the purpose of creating 3 lots. We,the undersigned, acknowledge that the Property owners have the right to build one single family home and one accessory structure on each of their two respective lots; however, do hereby request that the North Augusta City Council deny the rezoning of 007-06-16-011 and 007-06-16-012 (1003 and 1007 Carolina Avenue)from R-14, Large Lot, Single Family Residential to R'10, Medium Lot, Single Family Residen1iel to for the following reasons: 1) Lot sizes of 10,120 SF,as being proposed by the applicant, Glen F Thompson, are out of character with surrounding lots sizes which average 18,725 SF. The two existing lots that are a part of this rezoning petition are currently 15,180 SF, which is below average of the lots in the immediate surrounding area. 2) Although, R-7 zoning exists on lots in the immediate area with minimum lot size 7,000 SF, across W Arlington Heights,to the south, and across Carolina Avenue, to the west,those R-7 lots are considerably larger than the R-10 lots of 10,120 SF being proposed as part of the zoning petition;the nearby R-7 lot size average is 17,482 SF. 3) No other R-10 zoning exists on adjacent lots, or in the immediate area, and this would, therefore, be spot zoning. 4) The applicant further stated that the three lots would share one driveway which would enter and exit on W Arlington Heights,a road which is often used as a cut-through from Carolina Avenue to Georgia Avenue, and which is considered, by the residents who live there,to already be very congested with vehicles that drive at a high rate of speed. Adding additional and concentrated traffic from three new homes would add approximately 30 plus traffic trips per day to a very active residential street. 5) Planning Commission members and staff at the January 21, 2015 Planning Commission meeting were quick to note that an accessory structure could be located on each of the three newly created lots, if the zoning is approved, thereby potentially creating six new residential structures (and approximately 60 traffic trips per day). 6) Although the applicant stated at the January 21, 2015 Planning Commission meeting that he would build homes similar in style to those in the surround area, the developer cannot be held to a particular building style if the zoning is approved as there is no city design review committee. 7) 6 surrounding residents spoke against the rezoning at the January 21,2016 Planning Commission meeting requesting denial of the rezoning petition; however,due to a duplicate-opinion-prohibition by the Planning Commissioner, most of the 25 attendees did not speak.
