Re-zoning request.

Most of you are aware that earlier this year, the property formally known as the Vista Bay apartments owned by the “Bayshore Boys llc.”,-- Bobby Switzer and Jim Veal-- was rezoned R-2B high density with a height limit of approx. 70’.
Some of you may have received a blue card from the City notifying you that the Bayshore Boyz llc are Appling for some the adjacent properties on the north west side of their property (not owned by them now) on the same block and the adjacent eastward property formally owned by George Black to also be rezoned R-2b. If all this land is rezoned they would have approx. 2.3 acres of land with a total capacity of approx. 115 units. This is assuming they can acquire the adjacent property on the north west side of their block.

I have had two meetings with Mr. Veal and Mr. Switzer and they will also be including in their request approx. 21% of the property to be zone conservation telling me that the result would limit their project to 80-84 units if the current property they own is rezoned. They could have a higher capacity if they acquire the adjacent property to the northwest. That would result only in the project being expanded to the north, if would not affect the view of the water to the east and west.

With that being said, I need input from the neighborhood so that I can attend the planning board meeting on Tuesday at 3;00pm and give some feedback from the neighborhood. Please respond to my e-mail address blakeandlaura@home.gccoxmail.com and tell me how you feel with a definite for or against and a brief description of why.

I need your help so that I can represent the neighborhood on Tuesday.

Thank you for your input,
