Dear Ms. Beemer,
Thanks so much for your assistance with regard to the rezoning request OZ 20 -04. 1 appreciate the City of Owasso
bringing this request to our attention. 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
