May 25, 1998 City of Centerville 1880 Main St. Centerville, Mn. 55038 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission, This letter is in response to the rezoning of R23 -31 -41 -003 & R23- 31 -22 -41 -0004 etc or locally known as Lake Area Utilities Cont. Inc. My husband and myself are urging the Zoning Commission to keep the above said property as residential. We live in a new home that borders this property. We have only lived here for the past six months. We chose this property for the obvious reasons, which do not include commercial property right next door. We called the city before purchasing this lot and were told there were no plans for that particular property. Now we come to find out that you want to put commercial property right next door to my new home!!!! That is ridicules!!!!! We expected that at some point there would be another home built next to ours, although we were hoping for a park or refuse for the wild life. Had we known your intentions we would have chose to build elsewhere. We have spent a lot of time and money on our new home. We do not intend to have the value of our new home depreciate and that is what will happen. Our family moved here from the city to have peace and quiet not a business next door. Then there is the issue of safety and security in our neighborhood. The street we live on is a dead end. We have many small children and we are very concerned about the increased traffic. Also this piece of land is home to many of the wildlife in the area. We look out the window and see deer in our backyard and ducks swimming in the pond. Maybe we should think of preserving some of this. We will fight to keep this from becoming a reality. Our home and our new way of life are at stake. We will attend your meeting on June 2 to show our support to veto this outrageous proposal. Sincerely, 0 V Georgine & Robert Kurschner 7005 Brian Dr. Centerville, MN. 55038
