<br />Steve:
<br />
<br />I have to concur with the majority of my neighbors and very
<br />strongly oppose the approval of the special use permit for Boyer
<br />Ford at their Oakcrest site.
<br />
<br />I have invested significantly in upgrading my properties along
<br />Oakcrest over the past few years and will continue to do so,
<br />consistent with the development of the neighborhood.
<br />The location of a truck service center would be very inconsistent
<br />- an eyesore, in fact, in my opinion.
<br />
<br />I speak from experience as to the negative image given to a block
<br />by the very nature of having trucks parked along a property. I
<br />have had, and continue to live with the detrimental impact of the
<br />Indianhead site along County C for years in trying to lease my
<br />property on that block. The proposed special use permit would
<br />bring that same blight to Oakcrest.
<br />
<br />In fact, in order to protect my investment in the area, I have
<br />offered to purchase the property and redevelop it in a more
<br />acceptable manner.
<br />
<br />I ask the city to turn down this request so that Oakcrest might
<br />continue to improve its curb appeal consistent with this area of
<br />Roseville.
<br />
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />
<br />
