First off, I would like to commend the City Council and all others involved <br />in the revitilization projects, on the excellent job done sofar. Even though <br />some of the projects have had a detrimental impact on us doing business and <br />maintaining a quality of living, for the most part it has certainly been <br />beneficial to the City as a whole. Over the past few years some problems <br />have developed, such as the lighting issue on some of the warehouse <br />buildings,... which adversely affects our light sensitive crops. Our loss of <br />privacy, the noise level at all hoursof night with the truck docks, snow <br />plowing, rubbish removal, etc. The damage to our greenhouse and home <br />from rocks and debris being catapolted from the bulldozers, the ground <br />vibrations due to the heavy equipment used to clear and level the adjoining <br />properties, and the destruction of our fences due to the extreme erosion of <br />soil caused by the change in the grade level on these properties. <br />We live in a huge glass house where people are throwing rocks. <br />These issues have been addressed to the City and to the developer. Many <br />meetings have taken place with Mr. Locke and Mr. Allen. Most issues we <br />thought would be resolved to satisfaction,because Mr. Allen agreed to <br />resolve them, however; over time, Mr. Allen's memory has failed <br />him. We dealt in good faith, not seeing the need for a written commitment. <br />At issue with this latest project is assurance that the drainage on his property <br />does not affect us. <br />The replacement to our destroyed fence on the south side of the property, <br />and the addition of fencing to shield our home from the 22 truck docks and <br />an access road., that will be 15 feet from our home, and the lighting on this <br />building will not affect our growing capabilities that have been continuing for <br />the past 65 years. <br />I have two daughters age 6 & 3, that cannot play in our yard any longer' <br />unattended because of a 10' dropoff directly behind our home. The City has <br />agreed to fence the east side.Our livelyhood is in danger. The lives of my <br />children are in danger. A basic right to a good night's sleep are at issue here.
