RE: Proposed Sparrowhawk Subdivision.
-David Waldron
Dear Members of the Commission:
As owner of-two acres, located-at 2761- 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.; Ipurchased this property for the sole purpose
of leasing: to-ABCO, INC. with the understanding-that the surrounding property was
commercially zoned. My concem is That-the noise generated by cranes, equipment and
traffic may affectthe 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 concem
to the property owners thaf 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
zonng_of_the surrounding area it would-not be affected by the business activities
--
associated-with commercial use.
Thank you for your consideration:'
Since1rely,
Milo O. Elston
