Vote No on Rezoning 1501 E. Winding Way Pilgrims’ Point Community Association, Inc.

1501 E. Winding Way is IN Pilgrim’s Point The first address is 106, so the lot at 1501 E. Winding Way could logically be 102 and 104 Charleston (this map is to scale) What is the point of zoning if anyone can get any variance requested?

This Property is IN our Neighborhood Pilgrims’ Point will be harmed by carving this lot out of the logical block The property at 1501 E. Winding Way is 5-6% of the total area of the neighborhood Friendswood will lose over $30,000 in tax revenue annually if property values on Charleston decrease by 10% The boundary between the property and our subdivision is mostly a 3’ hedge Please vote against rezoning 1501 E. Winding Way, as this is logically part of our subdivision!

Historical Precedent 1501 E. Winding way has been a residential property since before the subdivision was established in is the perfect “transition” from the businesses on Winding way into our subdivision The previous owners were always part of subdivision maps and get-togethers and allowed “gate” to be put up on their lot’s easement No other subdivision has this type of “spot zoning” with an office right next to a subdivision 1301 E. Winding Way is still zoned SFR

Zoning Map Note that 1301 Winding Way and our subdivision are both SFR Primrose will have a driveway onto Winding Way; please don’t add more traffic

Business Issues Why didn’t the current owners use their property at 1410 E. Winding Way for this? Why didn’t the owners get the rezoning and permits prior to moving in and starting the business? What if the business goes under, the partnership breaks up, or the business quadruples? They could sell to ANY other business or EXPAND The 2982 sq. ft. building requires 12 parking spaces if zoned OPD (4 per 1000 sq. ft. part O)

Issues After rezoning, a three-story glass building could be built there without further approvals needed What will happen to the Pilgrims’ Point “gate” on the corner? This has historically marked our subdivision At least an unkept house with cars on blocks out in front could be purchased and rehabilitated by the neighbors, as has been done previously on Charleston Once the house at 1501 becomes an OPD property, it will NEVER be a residential property again
