7 4 Development District. As an alternative solution, I request that <br /> you reduce the required buffer from 100 feet to 50 feet along <br /> Buckhorn Road and that you allow "storage and distribution of <br /> petroleum products", "motor vehicle service stations", "restaurants <br /> (carry-out, drive-in, and general) ", and "retail trade, sales and <br /> rental of durable and convenience goods, merchandise, and <br /> equipment" as a permitted use of right in the Buckhorn Road <br /> Economic Development District. I note that these uses have much <br /> less of an impact than many of the other manufacturing, <br /> transportation and wholesale uses which are currently permitted in <br /> the proposed Economic Development District as a matter of right. <br /> Since there might be some concern that these highway service uses <br /> might not be appropriate throughout the Buckhorn Road Economic <br /> Development District, you could also limit them to within 500 feet <br /> of an interstate highway interchange, thus assuring that they <br /> remain clustered around the interchanges. <br /> I appreciate your assistance in helping me to understand the <br /> Economic Development District proposal. I do intend to appear and <br /> speak at the May 28 public hearing. If you wish to discuss this <br /> matter further, I will be happy to meet with you at any time. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> HATCH, LITTLV & BUNN <br /> David H.
