e . . and thrive in moist to wet fertile soil. This hedge should be a minimum of six feet tall as stated in the zoning ordinances, 4. On street parking will create traffic problems. There is no room for it unless you cut down trees that screen the business across the street. I was told by Aaron Parrish that he does not recommend this. 5. We want the trash moved over to the other side to prevent odors to the adjacent neighbors. This has caused problems in other neighborhood business areas and has had to be moved. Kens Market has their trash facing county road D. 6. Mr. Nelson has not contacted any of us for input. 7. Some of us feel we have not been told the whole story by Mr. Nelson. The fence location. Arborvitae not being able to grow along north property lines. Being told an office complex is better than a fast food restaurant or gas station which is prohibited under the current zoning. 8. If Mr. Nelson has a problem with providing proper landscaping or snow removal he should have read the city ordinances. 9. Mr. Nelson has clearly not met the conditions outlined by the planning commission regarding proper screening. He has replaced a deciduous with another deciduous tree. The leaves will fall in the winter. 10. When we bought this property we asked our real estate agent what could be built next door. We were told very little due to the size of the lot and current zoning regulations. There was a concept PUD submitted but nothing had been approved. If the neighborhood business zoning was upheld Mr. Nelson would only be able to build a one story building due to the parking required. There would also be a thirty foot buffer yard landscaped with six foot tall evergreens screening the property. Furthermore I would not be apposed to him building on the lot ifhe would meet the zoning requirements. II. 11 also states in Appendix A - Landscape plan that a reasonable attempt shall be made to protect and preserve existing trees and incorporate them into the landscape plan. Mr. Nelson has already cleared the lot. There are no plans to even build until summer. I stressed my concerns to Aaron Parrish who passed them on to the city council. Why were are concerns not read or listened to? We are asking you to live by the city ordinances you have set up. These ordinances were set up to protect us from developers like Mr. Nelson. These ordinances if followed would protect our privacy, home values and undue stress. We have put a lot of time inlo trying to find a solution. Please uphold the city ordinances.
