<br />4725 Norma Avenue <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />October 1, 2007 <br /> <br />Arden Hills Planning Commission <br />Arden Hills City Hall <br />1245 W. Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />Dear Commission Members: <br /> <br />I am writing this letter to state my opposition to the proposal to build a Walgreen Drug <br />Store near the intersection of Lexington Avenue North and West County Road E. It is <br />my feeling that this proposal to build a "big box" drug store will increase the amount of <br />traffic at this junction to the point where it will be too congested to allow for normal <br />traffic flow. <br /> <br />The current businesses at Arden Plaza will experience a negative impact should such <br />construction be permitted. In addition, we already have a neighborhood pharmacy/gift <br />shop serving the community quite adequately. If this proposal is allowed to become <br />reality it will, in my opinion, be another example of the "big box" corporation taking over <br />and driving out the small local business. Arden Plaza Pharmacy/Gift Store already has <br />enough competition from the Target Store located only a half mile away. <br /> <br />Please vote "no" to the proposal and support our local business community! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />(/~ <br /> <br />Robert Hennen <br />
