pear Ms. Watters:
Your kindness in responding to my concerns re Magic View development is greatly appreciated, especially
since you were not included in the original email. Thanks for all the information.
I am very confused as to the role of the P&~ commission. It would seem it exists to watch out for the well being
of the public, being sure that the agencies of government are not adversely impacting the citizens. Things
seem turned around in this case. Am I wrong?
I am grateful the planning staff concluded that the current proposal is not compatible with either the
Comprehensive Zoning Plan, or the particular site being considered. I am also grateful the City Council is on
record in support of the present zoning plan. Many of us made real estate decisions based on that zoning
status being maintained.
A major concern relates to an almost certain outcome if the present application were to be approved, There
would be NO grounds for rejecting similar applications for the multiple sites surrounding the present parcel
under consideration. This would completely and adversely impact the character of the area.
I hope we can count on the City Council to continue its support of the conclusions of your agency. I'm confident
they realize that respect of the governed is a rare commodity and not to be squandered. '
Best wishes.
Richard E. Carlson, MD
