Subject: CPA#004-15
Dear Jeff -- I am writing to express opposition to the re -zoning proposal adjacent to the West Valley
neighborhood known as Cottonwood Grove. Our neighborhood stands to lose big if this rezoning proposal is
approved and low-income, high density housing is allowed to replace the horse farm. My neighbors are not
from the wealthiest I% but for the most part good citizens who want a safe, clean, and quiet home. We are hard
working, diverse and professionl and a credit to the community. We should not have to bear the financial and
social cost of this venture.
I urge you to consider our position in this matter. Many of my neighbors purchased their homes at a premium
price and have paid high property taxes based on the current zoning environment. On tight budgets, we have
maintained and improved our properties based on the perceived future of our surroundings. A change now to
cater to one party would completely change this consideration for all of us. If the new zoning goes through, I
personally will suspend the planned improvement and beautification projects for my home and property.
I hope this note will adequately express seriousness of our concerns. I'm sure others will expound on the
impending crime, traffic, and noise issues so I won't go into those aspects. Its heartbreaking to see our lifetime
dream for a nice retirement in a quiet, safe, and clean neighborhood go down because of this wrong headed
proposal. We respectfully urge you to reject.

Attn: Jeff Peters
Regarding: CPA#004-15, 8603 Wide Hollow Road, What the Hay LLC
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on CPA#004-15, the proposed change in the
future land use map designation from Low density residential R-1 to High density
residential R-3 at 8603 Wide Hollow Road.
Approximately 40 acres of our R-1 zoned property abuts the proposed R-3 land to the
west and we strongly oppose the rezone of the 27.91 acre parcel 181330-42402 from
R-1 to R-3 for the following reasons.
The proposed change to the Future Land Use map designation is a process allowed by
the City, to move forward with a "Non -Project application" to change zoning by
indicating that the issues of incompatibility, buffering, traffic flow, etc. will be addressed
as a part of a future development plan for the property. Now is the time to address all of
the issues and problems.
The proponent has inaccurately stated that "The proposed zone change is compatible
with existing neighboring land uses because the general area to the west, south, and
east are sparsely developed." The surrounding agricultural and suburban land uses
continue because this neighborhood is located near the fringe of the City limits. The
surrounding agricultural and suburban residential land uses are the reasons why the
proponent's site is not suitable for high density R-3 development. The newest
subdivision development in this neighborhood is Cottonwood Grove, which is
predominately R-1 single family residential along with some R-2 to the west. Therefore,
a rezone of the 27.91 acre parcel from R-1 to R-3 high density residential is not
compatible to the surrounding low density residential land uses.
The proponent has also stated that there is a limited amount of undeveloped R-3 land in
West Valley, which may technically be correct if limited only to West Valley. However,
the proponent did not note there are numerous R-3 parcels available within the City
urban area, including parcels 181204-11002/181303-22008 which total 40.62 acres, the
Westwood West proposed multi -zoned development, or the 50 acres located on south
64th Ave. and Occidental which is also proposed to be rezoned by the Cottonwood
Development. In addition, Congdon Orchards has hundreds of acres of R-3 land
available for development with primary arterial access, all utilities, bus service, etc., all
of which are closer to the City core, as opposed to the westerly edge of the City. It is
my understanding that the intent of the Growth Management Act was to encourage the
development of vacant land near the City core, rather than allow spot zoning near the
fringes of the city limits. Vacant land closer in to the core should first be developed.
Growth Management also recognizes that there is a need for mineral resources and
there are a limited number of gravel pits. However, the need does not warrant the
development within a non -compatible single family residential neighborhood, which also
applies to the proposed R-3 zone in a R-1 residential neighborhood.
On October 23, 2015, the Yakima Herald Republic front page photo captions states
"Selah is rewriting its planned development ordinance, partly in response to concerns
about high-density developments and their compatibility with surrounding
neighborhoods. City officials say a development on Southern Avenue (foreground)
highlights the problem of such developments not fitting in naturally with nearby single-
family residences." I would argue that the proposed high-density rezone in West Valley
is also not compatible with the surrounding single family land uses.
I would urge the Yakima City Planning and City Council to be consistent with their
previous denial of the proposed Toscanna development because it was deemed
incompatible with the single family residential neighborhood. The Toscanna developer
had proposed 40 duplexes and almost 100 apartments and the City denied their
request. The proposed What the Hay LLC development could potentially have 336
apartments.
In conclusion, with the availability of existing R-2 and R-3 land closer to the Yakima City
core, along with the surrounding land use of primarily agricultural and low density single
family residences within the proposal's neighborhood, I strongly recommend that the
request to change the Future Land Use map designation of 27.91 acres from R-1 to R-3
be denied.
Sincerely,

Hello,
My name is Brent Alexander-Rines and I'm contacting the planning office in regards to the proposed rezoning for What
the Hay, LLC.
I own my home at 8501 W Arlington, Ave in the Cottonwood Grove development. My family and I have owned our home
for the past 71/2 years. I have only learned about this project and proposed rezoning today. I was not made aware of
this project as I have been about past developments in the surrounding areas of my residence. A concerned neighbor
shared this proposal with me.
Both my wife and I are unable to attend the planning meeting on such short notice due to our careers. My work requires
`ravel and my wife is an RN in surgery at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital. We do not feel adequate notice was given in
,'egards to this proposed rezoning change and subsequent meeting.
We have deep concerns about this property being rezoned for high density residential development. We purchased our
home in our development so we would not have to worry about high levels of traffic and an overburdened school for
our future (at the time) children. We bought our home knowing that the neighborhood would potentially be further
developed, however with the zoning we felt comfortable that our investment in our families future was a good one.
What actions can we take to voice our opposition to this proposal? Again, we are just learning of this and feel it is unfair
that our voices will not be able to be heard at this meeting due to our professional responsibilities.
Sincerely,
Brent Alexander-Rines

Mr. Peters,
Please find attached our letter opposing the land use application by What the Hay LLC for the property
bordering the community of Cottonwood Grove. We realize the appeals deadline has passed, but there has
been a definite lack of communication concerning the rezoning application with our community. Everyone in
Cottonwood Grove is directly affected, not just the properties bordering the land to be rezoned and
developed. We are sending a letter in lieu of attending the upcoming open public meeting due to work
responsibilities.
Thank you,
Tom & Tammy McMeekin
October 26, 2015
To whom it may concern;
I feel we are being duped by What the Hay, LLC and the Yakima Planning
Commission on the re -zoning of the property located at 8603 Wide Hollow Road.
First of all, the first I am hearing about this re -zone is when a neighbor brought by
a flyer explaining the re -zone. This flyer directed us to a website and says the
appeals had to be in by July 10, 2015. How do you appeal something if you do not
know anything about it?
Secondly, the land use action proposed sign went up last week, and is
conveniently placed parallel to Rose Lane so the only way you can see it is if you
turn your head to the right or left depending on which direction you are going.
Why isn't that sign placed so residents of Cottonwood Grove can see it?
Thirdly, how many other homeowners of Cottonwood Grove Subdivision do not
have any idea of the proposed change? For example, my husband works in Selah
and he comes and goes via 87th and Tieton. Had I not seen the sign the other day
he wouldn't have known anything about it?
Fourth, the meeting to express your complaints is conveniently Tuesday, October
27th at 3:30 pm. How convenient for the builder as most working people's hours
are 8-5pm and would have to take vacation to attend.
I really feel the wool is being pulled over our eyes, by trying to push this re -zone
through without giving the neighboring properties proper notification.
That being said, my main concerns are traffic—try getting out onto Wide Hollow
from Rose Lane in the morning to go to work. With the students driving to the
High School, parents taking kids to the Junior High, High school and Cottonwood
Elementary, the fruit trucks and works going both directions, the people that live
out further west driving into Yakima, cars going over 50 mph it is extremely
difficult to get onto Wide Hollow. Gee, let's add another 600-700 cars and see
how well that goes. Then, when you do get onto Wide Hollow good luck when
OCT 2 6 2015
CITY OF YAKIMA
PLAI NINE DIV.
you get to 80th to turn left with all the parents coming from the Jr or Sr High
School to either go back home or to work. A CONGESTION nightmare.
Besides the congestion and log jam, has anyone though about what impact it will
have on the West Valley School District? You know these "affordable"
apartments will hose multi families. Can the WV School district absorb this
increase in students?
What about 88th Ave, I watch people speeding down the hill every day and have
even seen people get passed, it is a drag strip already can just imagine what it will
turn into. There are families with children walking and riding bikes on 88th, that
will have to stop or someone will get killed or permanently maimed. That will be
on your conscience, not mine.
Last but not least the builder is concerned about the lack of affordable places to
live—I am not buying that all he is concerned about is his BOTTOM LINE-$$$$$.
If the City of Yakima Planning Division has any common sense they will not allow
this re -zone to go through.

We would like to voice our protest of the apartment complex that is being planned in Cottonwood Grove. Though we
feel that all people do deserve affordable housing, the building of the apartment complex will put a strain on our already
full school, cause traffic congestion in and around the development, and potentially lower the property value of our
homes. Most disturbing of all is the general contractor's attempt to push through the building of a low income
apartment complex while no one was looking.

Subject: Objection to application for 8602 Wide Hollow Rd.
Dear Mr. Peters:
We are writing to express our objection to granting R-3 zoning status for a request that is being considered by
the Planning Committee at this time for 8603 Wide Hollow Road by What the Hay LLC. We are aware that
there is not a specific proposal on file for this application and that being the case, should be ample reason for
denying the application at this time. We are also aware that no studies have been completed that would
justify the granting of the application/proposal, if a proposal existed.
While we would enjoy the land to remain as open space, we realize that it will be developed at some
point. We strongly encourage that this property and all other property adjacent to the Cottonwood Grove
subdivision remain R-1 zoning and that future development be consistent with current types of homes within
the Cottonwood Grove Subdivision, e.g. single family in comparison to common wall/duplex structures.
We request to be notified in writing, in a timely manner, of any decision regarding this application by the
Planning Committee or Planning Commission.
Respectfully,
Robert Fawcett and Christina Fawcett

Subject: Comments on CPA#004-14 Land Use Application
Jeff,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me on the phone earlier.
To Yakima Planning Commission;
I live on Plath avenue, just north of the intersection of Wide Hollow and 80th avenue, and I own a duplex in
the Cottonwood Grove subdivision. I want to take the time to express my concern over the referenced
application to increase from low-density residential to high-density residential.
First of all it is unfortunate that landowners and residences in the vicinity were not given adequate notification
of this proposed action due to State law only requiring notification within 300 feet of the subject property.
(Yellow placards are not adequate notification, they are like notes on the refrigerator that seemingly
disappear from view after a few days, or we don't pay any attention to them in the first place). Allowing high-
density residential development of this property will have a significant impact on landowners and residences
from 72nd Ave. to 98th Ave. and from Tieton Drive to Zier just in terms of increased traffic in this area. Much
of the traffic from Zier, Cottonwood Canyon and Wide Hollow areas, including West Valley High School use
!Vide Hollow and 80th avenue making this a congested area due to narrow and inadequate streets. In addition
children walk to school along 80th avenue with no sidewalks or adequate shoulder. Allowing high-density
residential in this area will greatly exacerbate these problems.
Secondly, West Valley is primarily an area of single family residences, with some duplexes as noted in
Cottonwood Grove, families who have moved here because West Valley still has a semblance of country living
while being relatively close to town. High-density residential, particularly apartments, in this area will change
the character of our community and may affect property values as well. There are areas closer to town that
are adequately served by multi -lane streets with sidewalks and that already have apartment complexes in the
vicinity that would better serve this need for high-density residential.
Finally, while the developer has not submitted a proposal to construct apartment buildings, and may not do
so, I would caution that changing zoning to allow this use will open the door. Any successful planner will seek
to maximize his profits, so to change the zoning to high-density with the hopes that maybe it will be
developed at a lower density is naive.
I would ask that the Planning Commission take these matters into account while deliberating on this
application and keep the best interest and safety of the West Valley community in mind.
Thank you for considering my comments.
.est Regards,
Tim McCoy
West Valley Residence

Subject: Fwd: Area on 8603 Wide Hollow Rd. between S. 85th Ave. and S. 88th Ave
Yakima Planning Commission,
I am writing to you about the proposal to change the area on 8603 Wide Hollow Rd. between S. 85th Ave. and S. 88th
Ave. to a high-density residential zone. Currently, the area is designated for low-density residential development and I
believe it should stay that way. I grew up in Yakima, living in the city for 18 years. A few years ago my family finally saved
up enough money to buy a house out of town. Instead of listening to sirens, we now hear roosters. We drive past horses
and emus every morning. Please, don't destroy our neighborhood. We moved out here to get away from the city, and we
love it here. It's what makes Yakima great small city - you can live in the peaceful country while just being a quick drive
away from great job opportunities and a lively community that I am proud to be a part of.
Thank you,
