RE: Proposed Sparrowhawk Subdivision

As owner of two acres, located at 2161 Lanark, I am concerned about the rezoning and
Development of 20.20 acres for the proposed Sparrowhawk Subdivision.
For the last 12 years my property has been leased by ABCO, INC., which fabricates
reinforcing steel and light manufacturing. I purchased this property for the sole purpose
of leasing to ABCO, INC. with the understanding that the surrounding property was
commercially zoned. My concern is that the noise generated by cranes, equipment and
traffic may affect the new occupants of the subdivision. There are several businesses on
this street and immediate area that have the potential of annoying noise and activity to a
residential subdivision.
A second area of concern is the value of the commercial property. Commercial property
with residential property in the close proximity has a restricted market. The potential of
traffic and noise complaint with subsequent ordinances and restrictions is a big concern
to the property owners that have invested many years and dollars in property and
businesses.
When investing in property, whether it is commercial or residential, the property owner
should be able to depend on zoning protecting their rights. The commercial property
purchased in this area was purchased with the understanding that because of the specific
zoning of the surrounding area it would not be affected by the business activities
associated with commercial use.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Milo O. Elston
