We live at 9800 N 98th East Ct. which is the property directly across the street to the East of the subject property. We purchased this house 5 years ago primarily because of the greenbelt view afforded to us looking out our back windows and sitting in our back yard. We currently have an unobstructed greenbelt view which is quite valuable in any real estate market and something upon which we personally place a great amount of value. The new addition, Mingo Crossing, just N of our property on the E side of 97th St. has signage in front of the addition advertising "Greenbelt Views" and I have attached a picture with this email. In consulting a variety of real estate professionals I was able to determine that a greenbelt view is worth 5 -10% of the market value of our home. Our home is currently valued at approximately 200,000. Should we lose the greenbelt view we would likely put our home on the market and no longer be able to market the view to another buyer. If the rezoning request is approved we have no control over who purchases the property nor any idea how much deforestation would occur to build whatever structures a buyer could desire to build nor any control of the elevation of those structures. It is common for developers to go into a new addition and totally destroy the existing landscape which would be completely unacceptable to us as would any elevated structure taking our view. It is anticipated that any structures would be forced into our view by the inability of a buyer to build further back to the west due to the regulatory floodway at the west side of the subject property. We request that the rezoning request be denied. Should the rezoning request be approved we will seek legal remedy. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact us at any time. Warm Regards, Jay and Janice Harness 9800 N 98th East Ct Owasso, OK 74055 918.440.3940
