" . ." ,,~ t . To: Marl Nelson March 29, 1999 (email in part) I am disappointed that the City of Centerville~ in the past~ seems to have put developers fll"St, and the people of Centerville off the list. There has also apparently been a case where a special exception has been made regarding the sale of property and allocation for park resources. This is not a good example to set. It only further demonstrates that lack of regard for ordinances and the people of Centervi1le. I suggest the City of Centerville adopt a policy that all NEW development have NO VARIANCES. There is no reason for a variance for NEW development. If there is a problem with a particular lot, then it is a PARK.. Centerville is starved for open space. Absolutely every square foot of space that can be developed is being developed. The people of Centerville need open spaces. If a developer dislikes the no variance policy, they can go elsewhere, Centerville doesn't need them. With the design team and other activities, I see a real change in the action of the City. I am very pleased to see these changes. I have been very impressed with EVERYONE. I am delighted to live here and consider its people some of the best. I also consider the City government to be exceptional and am proud to be a part of the design team activities. I am hopeful that something might be done about a park and school access in the northwest section of Centerville. Thank you. Sincerely, Wayne LeBlanc
