Before and after
Subject: Proposed 24-Home Neighborhood Near Aspen Hollow Road, and Your Invitation to Share Questions
Dear Neighbor,
Bramble Land Co is proposing a new neighborhood of 24 single-family homes on the former Miller farm field along Aspen Hollow Road. We filed our application with the county last week, and we want you to hear about it from us directly. We would also like to let you know about the public hearing on this proposal.
What we are proposing
- 24 single-family lots on the field that is now farmland
- Homes of roughly 1,800 to 2,400 square feet
- One new road connecting to Aspen Hollow Road
- We plan to keep the existing tree line along the east side of the property
What you may notice
If the project is approved, we expect construction to begin next spring. Our planned work hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
What happens next
- Our application has been filed with the county.
- A public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, at 6:00 p.m. at the county annex building, 210 Cypress St.
- You can contact us at any time, and we will do our best to answer your questions.
We know a project like this raises fair questions, and we would rather hear them early. Please call or write to Ida Hughes:
Phone: 555-0110
Email: ida@bramblelandco.example
Mail: Bramble Land Co, PO Box 88, Harlan Springs
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ida Hughes
Bramble Land Co
Check before sending
- Confirm the hearing date, time, and room with the county. The notes say June 10 is a Tuesday, so check that against the calendar for the right year.
- The letter does not say whether neighbors may speak at the hearing, because the notes did not say. Confirm with the county and add it if you want it included.
- The letter does not mention truck or equipment traffic or how the new road entrance will look, because the notes gave no information on either. If you want to address them, add your facts or confirm them with your engineer first.
- Confirm "next spring" is still the timeline you want to share, and whether you want to name a month.
- This is a courtesy letter. Ask the county planning office or your attorney whether an official notice is required, and how it must be worded and delivered.
- Check that the work hours match what is in your application, and add the actual filing date if you prefer it to "last week."
What it does
Turns your project notes into a clear, courteous letter to nearby residents about a proposed development. It explains what you plan to build, what is happening next, and how neighbors can ask questions or share concerns.
Use it when: Use when a land developer needs to write a letter to neighbors about a proposed development, such as "write a neighbor letter," "notify the neighbors about our project," "draft a notice for the nearby homeowners," or "we have a public meeting coming up and need to tell the neighbors."
