Letter to the City Council From: Citizens for Star Feb. 22, 2023 Subject: Proposed Willowbrook Development Setbacks Dear Mayor Chadwick, Councilman Hershey, Councilman Wheelock, Councilwoman Salmonsen, Councilman Nielsen, In this letter, we raise our concern about Setbacks in the Willowbrook Proposal. We understand that they are implicitly requesting a variance from the code setbacks, and we disagree with their request. In the following table, you can compare what Muni Code 8-3A-4 states about setbacks alongside with the Willowbrook proposed setbacks for each of their lot sizes. Minimum Yard Setback: Municipal Code and Willowbrook Plan Zoning District MC Front WB MC Rear WB MC Interior Side WB MC Street Side WB R-R 30’ 30’ 30’ 30’ 20’ 20’ 20’ 20’ R-1 30’ 30’ 30’ 30’ 10’ 10’ 20’ 20’ R-2 20’ 20’ 20’ 20’ 10’ 10’ 20’ 20’ 20,000 SF 20’ 20’ 20’ 20’ 10’ 10’ 20’ 20’ 12,000 SF 20’ 20’ 20’ 20’ 10’ 10’ 20’ 20’ 6-9,000 SF 20’ 20’ 20’ 20’ 10’ 5-10’ 20’ 20’ Under 6,000 SF 20’ 15’ 20’ 15’ 10’ 5’ 20’ 20’ MC=Municipal Code WB=Willowbrook Plan The point to all of this is that Willowbrook is not planning to meet the letter or intent of the Code for R1 or R2. If you are interested in avoiding the visual appearance of a “sea of rooftops” or a “stack and pack” neighborhood, we strongly request that you require Willowbrook to meet the standards in the Municipal Code. Thank you for your consideration. The Citizens for Star organization Rochelle Henson 5233 N. High Prairie Place, Star Lisa Priapi 10325 W. Lanktree Gulch Road, Star Anadeane Galbraith 9758 W.
