MAY 22 '69 16:45 P.1 <br /> - FA Btytk. Q„„1.e.rk. Cer <br /> t4.2.1-1. <br /> May 22, 1989 <br /> Dear 'Commissioner, <br /> I am writing to express concern about the new consideration <br /> on rezoning land on the northwest corner of Bowden Road for <br /> multiple residences, I am unable to attend the public hearing <br /> tonight because I heard about it too late. I understand that a <br /> small sign hidden in the weeds and set too far back from the road <br /> was the only noticed given. Obviously, somebody does not want <br /> this issue made public, does not want any public discussion on <br /> the matter, and wants my elected commissioners to believe, that <br /> there is no public dissension. <br /> I am vehemently opposed to this type of multiresidence <br /> development in this area. It threatens our water, it will <br /> drastically alter the appearance and serenity of the area and <br /> there does not seem to be any reason for making developments like <br /> this since it doesn't benefit anyone except the investors. <br /> I really do not understand how rezoning can even be <br /> considered. The recent report commissioned by OWASA recommended <br /> that the watershed should not be developed any further. <br /> In addition, it recommends that if new residences must be added to <br /> this area then they should be isolate by at least 5 acres and <br /> only on land which perks well. <br /> My neighbors share my opinion and if it appears that there <br /> is little public interest tonight then it is probably because of the <br /> poor noticed given. Please consider denying any permit for this <br /> type of development in this area. Thank-you for your <br /> consideration. We will be watching with interest how you resolve <br /> this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Alan tones <br /> tones <br /> 2508 Laine Rd. <br /> 1 <br />
