.~~34 - These four classifications are the heart and sole of my business. I have attached to this petition a letter from a realtor showing that the- value of my property will be decreased by this rezoning. While I am not arguing that the commissioner's don't have a right to zone property as is in the best interest of good planning, I feel that I am injured by such a rezoning as this. I respectfully submit to the commissioners and the planning board that mine is the only commercial property at this intersection which has been subjected to this rezoning and that all of the other commercial uses on the north side of U- S. Highway 70 have been allowed to remain within the commercial, industrial, and transition node. Why is my property any different from theirs; X feel that I am being treated prejudicially! I had no specific notice about the change of the node shape at this intersection and I assure you that had I known of it, I would have sought to keep this from happening. But it has happened and I am the one who loses - not those people who live in residential houses within the new node - an existing growing business moved here specifically because of the zoniag is now .told it can't expand in areas that are the heart of its operations. I would ask the commissioners and planning board to consider strongly that performance standards and the major transportation corridor requirements can be used in order to protect the people around me from any kind of problems resulting from the use of this property under the GG-4 classification- I want the members of both boards to know that x will do everything possible in order to protect my business and to insure that my business will be an asset to Orange County, to the people that work for me, and to the people that live around me, and indeed to all of the people who use my services within this state and country.
