Unlike the large scale high density apartment complex planned at HH, I have no problem with the Katie Belles plan. Katie Belles is an existing building in a commercial area and converting the building to 10 apartment units will have no negative effect on existing single family residential homeowners. I doubt anyone going to Spanish Springs will notice any difference between an empty Katie Belles versus the same building with 10 apartment units. The Katie Belles conversion is in no way the "bait and switch" that is being pulled on the homeowners in the HH area. There is still the fact that the area already has bad traffic congestion and over utilized amenities, but 10 or so apartments won't make any noticeable difference. As I have stated in other threads, I don't have a problem with apartments, as long as they are put in the right place so they do not negatively effect single family homeowners who had no reasonable cause to think they would ever be plopped down in an inappropriate area.
