To Mayor Heinz and the City Council:
This letter is in regards to the rezoning of 806 North Main from residential to business.
Because I was not notified in person or in writing of the public hearing, nor aware of the notice
that appeared in the newspaper on June 23, I was not present at the hearing on July 11.
Even if I had read the notice in the newspaper, I would not have known that the property listed
as 806 North Main was, in fact, the Hosslers' home. The Hosslers' driveway is situated on
West Birch, and the mailbox faces West Birch; therefore, I assumed that property had a West
Birch address. If I had had the correct information about the property, I would have been
there on July 11 to voice my fears and concerns.
Because of this confusion and misunderstanding of where the property was located, I am now
asking you to reconsider the rezoning of 806 North Main. I have talked to many residents in
the surrounding area about this rezoning. Most of the people to whom I spoke did not know
where the property on 806 North Main was located. When they finally understood that 806
North Main was that big white house on West Birch, they were astonished to find out that the
property had been sold. Then, when I informed them that the property was scheduled to be
rezoned from residential to business, they were extremely upset and concerned. Due to this
response from the residents, I have started a petition to stop the rezoning. I will also be
speaking at the City Council meeting on August 2 to voice our fears and concerns about this
rezoning.
After talking to the neighborhood, our main fears and concerns are as follows: If a new
business were located on 806 North Main, the only feasible entrance and exit would have to
be located on West Birch. This entrance and exit would create a very hazardous traffic
situation not only for other vehicles but also for all the residents...especiallythe children. Our
neighborhood has over 30 children in the area. This increase in traffic would be a grave
danger to our children and forever change the peaceful and quiet lifestyle that we all now
enjoy. We are also very anxious about the environmental effects that this rezoning will have
on the residents in the area. We are concerned about the level of noise, the issue of air
pollution from the vehicles, and the effects of bright lighting on the neighborhood. We are also
bothered about the issue of trash. This large volume of trash can cause problems from odor
to an increase in rodents in the area. Finally, we are afraid that our property values will go
down and our taxes will go up.
Please take into consideration the above issues of concern when you make your final decision
on the rezoning issue on Aug 2. 1 am praying for a no vote on this rezoning, but if this is not
possible, please send this rezoning issue back to the Planning and Zoning Committee for
further study.
Sincerely,

We the undersigned, protest the rezoning of 806 North Main from residential to business. We are greatly
' concerned for the safety of our children and the neighborhood. We strongly feel that the traffic increase on West
r ' Birch Street would be horrendous. It is almost impossible to exit West Birch Street on to Main Street at the present
time. If a new business is located on the property, the only feasible entrance would have to be on Birch Street.
This entrance would create a hazazdous situation not only for other vehicles but for all the residents in the azea of
West Birch and North Main. We would like to know if a traffic pattern survey has been conducted on this
property? If not, when will a study be conducted?
We are also anxious about the environmental effects that this rezoning will have on the residents in the area. We
are concerned about the level of noise, the issue of air pollution from the vehicles, and the effects of bright lighting
on our neighborhood. We are also bother about the issue of trash. This trash can cause major problems from odor
to an increase in rodents in the azea. We would like to know if an environmental impact study has been conducted
on the property? If not, when will a study be conducted?
We aze also concerned that our property values will go down and our taxes will be raised.
