102 <br /> These four classifications are the heart and sole of my business. <br /> } I have attached to this petition a letter from a realtor showing that the <br /> value of my property will be decreased by this rezoning. While I am not <br /> arguing that the commissioner's don't have a right to zone property as is in <br /> the best interest of good planning, I feel that I am injured by such a rezoning <br /> as this. <br /> I respectfully submit to the commissioners and the planning board that <br /> mine is the only commercial property at this intersection which has been <br /> subjected to this rezoning and that all of the other commercial uses on the <br /> north side of U. S. Highway 70 have been allowed to remain within the <br /> commercial, industrial, and transition node. Why is my property any different <br /> from theirs; I feel that I am being treated prejudicially! <br /> I had no specific notice about the change of the node shape at this <br /> intersection and I assure you that had I known of it, I would have sought to <br /> keep:this from happening. But it has happened and I am the one who loses - not <br /> those people who live in residential houses within the new node - an existing <br /> growing business moved here specifically because of the zoning is now told it <br /> can't expand in areas that are the heart of its operations. <br /> I would ask the commissioners and planning board to consider strongly that <br /> performance standards and the major transportation corridor requirements can be <br /> used in order to protect the people around me from any kind of problems <br /> resulting from the use of this property under the GC-4 classification. <br /> .1 want the members of both boards to know that I will do everything <br /> possible in order to protect my business and to insure that my business will be <br /> an asset to Orange County, to the people that work for me, and to the people <br /> that live around me, and indeed to all of the people who use my services within <br /> this state and country. • <br />
