Mr. Kath tells us the hours of operation will be from 5 a,m. until midnight. can look out my kitchen window and see the old Ace's 66 station on that corner. There is no privacy fence between my property and the doctor's office next door and myself and at least 3 neighbors next to me will be affected by the lights and headlights from this proposed station. As to the car wash, there will be the constant use of machinery. Mr. Kath assures us that he will keep the doors closed to cut down on the noise level. If it is like his car wash on Rice Street or the CONOCO on Lexington and County Road E, he cannot keep the doors completely closed at the end of the drying cycle, because the car's hood sticks out the doorway. It is my hope that you consider all concerns regarding this project before making your decision. Mr. Kath mentioned in his opening remarks, that the property has sentimental value to him because he was born and raised there. My home is important to me, I grew up here and it has been in my farnity for-forty years;stnce+was eight-years---el(t-This-ts mY-AeigRborhood--- and I have a sentimental attachment to it, also. I realize that it is Mr. Kath's prerogative to develop his land. I do not want to stop development of his property, just the development of another gas station. In this case, it involves changing the Comprehensive Plan and also changing the zoning. I would not be opposed to the idea of having a doctor's office, a day' tare center, etc. there or any other business that would not create the volume of business that he anticipates (between 1000 and 1500 customers a day, according to the figures he shared qt the March Planning Commission Meeting). I appreciate your consideration of this matter. Sincerely yours, ~c.~ --'-- --. -------_._---- - _.~-- ---- --_._- ---- ------- ---- --- --------------- --...--- -- Christine C.
