Peak's Addition Homeowners' Association

Remember all the big beautiful trees that used to be on the corner of Live Oak and Grigsby? It seems that Peak Academy's construction plan has been to do what they want, when they want, regardless of what the city has mandated (besides bulldozing those trees, they also have been working hours outside of what city code permits). If we all write letters expressing our outrage and disappointment about the ruining of the green space and illegal removal of trees, the Zoning Commission is more likely to be stringent with Peak's architects and insist that they work to appease the local homeowners (i.e. more greenery/trees).

There is a hearing scheduled for April 10 for the latest construction plan for the parking lot to be approved by the city. The Chief Arborist says that the plan that is currently submitted DOES NOT have any islands within the parking lot for trees, only shrubs and intermittent trees around the border. He is looking at the long run (30-50 years) from now, and is asking that the plan be modified to include a few islands within the parking lot for trees.

PLEASE write a letter to the city. If there are a pile of letters in the folder when the plan goes up for review, the city will take the damage that has been done more seriously, and they will see that the neighborhood stands together for improvement.
