To: Mayor DeWeerd alnd Council Members
Subject: Applicatlaion AZ 05-032
Annexation and rezoning of lot 8 of Block 4 in Doris Sub. at 1560 South Carol Street.
My wife Kay and I are opposed to the rezoning of this lot.
Our reasons are as follows:
1. It could cause a negitive impact on our property and personal life style. Our life style could be
more complicated with a business in our subdivision causing added conjestion. The access to
Locust Grove road will only get worse as Locust Grove is completed to four lanes South to and
across 1-84.
This would also affect 23 other people as indicated by them signing the petition opposing the
rezoning.
2. The city comprehensive plan amendment, Exhibit A, Chapter VII, Section 1 was passed
permitting this type of rezoning as long as one property line abuts a arterial street. I doubt the
intention of this amendment was to put a business on a residential street and use this street as an
only access.
3. We feel city ordinance (MCC 12-13-12) requiring a 20 foot buffer zone was put into place to
protect home owners from a business. This request is asking that this buffer be greatly reduced.
If this applicatiaon is approved:
1. We would like to see the property line on the west receive a permanent split face block wall as
a buffer. This would be similar to the one on the South side of the street behind Walgreen's.
2. Prohibit parking on both sides of Carol Street per Page 3 of ACHD report (B) Findings For
Consideration For Carol Street.
3. A concrete curb protected left turn lane going North on Locust Grove Road for Carol Street
which would require Walgreen's to be right in and right out only.
