As my previous communication stated, the developers still have not answered our questions. As a community we deserve to have a good working relationship with the builder who will be building in our community. This will impact the financial stability of our homes and neighborhood. Their silence is deafening. One thing we do know is they plan to market these homes under the name Woodbury Crossing. Do they plan to have a community monument in the middle of our neighborhood? This would be an eyesore. If not, in essence they would still be Edwards Place and impacting our community, as outsiders will see no difference. We have another builder who is waiting for your denial of this plan that we have identified as interested in completing our neighborhood per the original concept plan. This is what we want, with amenities. We do not trust the Woda Group as they are less than forthcoming. We would much rather work with a developer of our choosing. Please after all our community has been through with previous developers, deny this plan, so we can move ahead with the developer of our choice.

Please deny the plan propose by the Woda Group. This plan puts a separate development of houses in the Edwards Place Subdivision under a different name, Woodbury Crossing. However, they will still be using the streets of Edwards Place as there is not a second entrance available to them. Are they to put community monuments on our streets to signify their community? That would be odd and out of place. What about the separate HOA’s? In essence we would really be one neighorhood by virtue of the roads we share. The Woda Group could potentially be creating problems within the community by not taking the name of the original community, Edwards Place and making us one community. Additionally, because they have clustered the 79 homes on one side of the creek, they have made it impossible for the residents of Edwards Place to have the amenities we were promised as part of the original concept plan and the plan that was later approved by subsequent builders. As a community, we had hoped that one day we would have a builder or the HOA build a pool , clubhouse, park, or some other such play area on the green space. The plan by Woda group will not make that possible as the 79 houses have used all the buildable space. No more improvements will be possible. Edwards Place will be the losers in this plan. Please deny this plan. Please allow us to have another builder build on the land to get the single family homes we deserve and the amenities we’ve asked for.

I am writing in opposition for Woodbury Crossing. We are opposing this proposal for many reasons, one being that when we bought our homes, we were told and had the vision our subdivision would be finished as one subdivision. If approved, Woodbury Crossing would only have access to main streets through our subdivision. What really doesn’t make sense to me is creating a subdivision within an existing subdivision. The plan for our subdivision years ago was for it to be completed as a whole. We were also promised amenities when we bought our home. It is very sad that our subdivision has been let down by many builders over the years. We have found a builder that wants to complete our subdivision as it was first proposed. This developer has not been transparent and is not wanting to just complete our subdivision. Please deny this proposal and let this builder come and finish our subdivision that we had all hoped for.
