Ames, Iowa
June 21, 1977
To: City Council
Ames, Iowa
From the time that the first home was built in the Timberland Heights
area the residents have adhered to various convenants so that the
natural setting of this fine community would be maintained as much as
possible. Many of the residents have also requested voluntary annexation
to the City with the belief that the City Council would act responsibly
on future land usage decisions. This trust is about to be destroyed if
the City Council approves Mr. E. Cochrane's preliminary plans for the
Oakwood housing development.
I, and other residents of Timberland Heights, do not object to the
development of the area into a single family, duplex, and low density
apartment residential area. However, we find it difficult to believe
that the Council will be acting responsibly if it approves the high
density development as now proposed by Mr. Cochrane. Such a develop-
ment is not appropriate for this area and would ignore the rights of
those who have lived in the Timberland Heights neighborhood for a long
time. All that I and others are asking of the City Council is to assume
a stance of responsibility in this matter.
Yours very truly,
'07-/4
