Dear Mr. Evans,
- , .~
Regarding your commeraal development at Meridian and Amity Road, I would
like to go on record as a neighbor who supports your project. I !'ive on 40 acres
about a 91~of a mile south of your project.
There is a big need for shopping in this area, especially with the rising gas costs
and the large amount of traffic that has to travel north of the freeway to shop.
I do have some concerns and would like to express them to you.
9 . I am oonc~rned about the water fable level if you should be n3quired to
drill water wells.
2. Traffic cvnfirol -there may be a need for frontage roads.
3. Quality of cronstnaction
4. I do quesEion the need for mixed use zoning instead of a commercial
zoning. It seems there is plenty of empty lots and houses in the valley
already. What we need is more areas for shopping and an environmenf
that will cxeate more jobs. There is plenty of room to expand housing in
the future if needed.
You may use this letter as my voice of approval for your project and I #hank you
for taking the time to hear me. Should you have any questions or want further
input, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sin !y,
Paul A. Tayl r
