<br />7/3/98 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Centerville City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mike Carter & Family <br />6944 Ivy Ct. <br />Centerville,MN.55038 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Lake Utilities Property <br />(July 7th Hearing) <br /> <br />Please register the fact that for a number of reasons I am opposed to the change of the <br />above-mentioned property to Commercial. <br /> <br />My property butts up to the south/west comer of the Lake Utilities Property. I bought my <br />house and land 10 years ago with the intent of raising my family here. At that time a <br />small neighborhood, the Tree Farm and the Lake Utilities property surrounded my <br />property. I now have two daughters' ages 2 ~ and 6 months. I have watched a lot of <br />development in those ten years and most of it has been planned quite well and in fact I <br />have gained some great neighbors in that time. I believe that the reason Centerville has <br />been so successful at drawing families to the area is because of the small town feel the <br />area has been able to maintain over the years. Building residential all around this <br />property and then putting a commercial development in the back yards of the people you <br />have attracted just doesn't make any sense for the pe~!e or the city. I live in Centerville <br />because I choose to. I make the drive to Eden Prairie .alwork each day only because I like <br />where I live. If this area is zoned commercial I am sure that my property value and the <br />property value of my neighbors will decrease. I won't be sticking around to see that <br />happen. <br /> <br />- -Y( ~(J c. t.J2.. <br /> <br />Mike Carter, Jill, Ellie and Gina <br />
