We learned of this project when we received a card in the mail telling us that this would be on the agenda of the Planning commission at their meeting an Jane 4, 2003. We attended this meeting along with many Of the co~~tiguo~~s neigl~~o~;s. We also had a petition signed by appro~r~~~ ~.tc~~~ 3 of tic ncig~~r~~-s ~j~~~ Y~~~st~~ ~ ~; ~:~~: ~;a grant the variances for this project. It was at this time that we were first informed that this was a part of the Rasevil~c Rambler Improvement project. We feel teat ~. pro~,~ta~~~ teat is s~~.l~sid.i~cd bbl dollars from fees paid by taxpayers should m~.r~d~t~: tie ~pp~.~a.Dt.s be re~~~red ~.o co~~p~e~.~~ their projects by staying within the City codes.
