This document is wriƩen to display how the site plan for the new Park Hill Housing Community as of 05/15/26 lacks consideraƟon for the safety and privacy of exisƟng properƟes due to placement of parking spaces and lack of privacy barriers.
Image 1
Image 1 shows the current site plan places parking facing directly towards the adjacent properƟes. 16 total trees are planned to provide privacy from 42 parking spaces facing exisƟng homes with no other means of miƟgaƟng light and noise. ProperƟes to the north of the parking lot are also situated ~15 feet below the parking elevaƟon. This means that any light from those parking spaces will point down, over the fences and into the yards and windows of these homes.
Homes are recessed
~15’ below planned
parking elevaƟon

Image 2 is a picture taken from the backyard of one of the properƟes bordering the north side of the planned community. The red line indicates the esƟmated placement of the parking spots based on the planned site map. This photo demonstrates that cars parked in these spots as designed will emit light into the back yards of these homes. The current site plan has 5 small to medium trees placed to provide privacy for the 14 parking spaces facing north. However, this picture demonstrates that this does not adequately miƟgate light from headlights.
Another concern for the safety of the residents at boƩom of the structure is that the site plan does not account for any cars that may roll beyond the parking space. If a vehicle were to drive through the parking space, it would accelerate down this slope and into the exisƟng homes.

Image 3 offers another perspecƟve from the back yard of one of the properƟes adjacent to the north side of the proposed Park Hill housing community. The red line indicates the esƟmated locaƟon of headlights based on the current site plan. Another concern for homes to the north of the property is that any overhead lighƟng planned for the parking lot will spill over into the neighboring homes.
AddiƟonally, even with a setback of 89’, a 3-story apartment building will clearly have visibility into the backyards and bedrooms of the exisƟng homes to the north.
