"'....-. <br /> <br />MY husband and I are one of tht'! homeo''/n~rs rm n~llwood st.. <br />that would be directly affected by th~ Ev~ro8t proj~ct. WO also <br />w~re only Ii part 0 I' the gro up the. t 9 ttp,nd ac th~ las t WJ rk se sa ian <br />of the Council regarding this proj~ct. It was obvious thAt you <br />and the other members of the Council were just 8S appall~d as we <br />were that a representative of Everest did not even show up and <br />literally leet us all th~re to wAste three hours. <br /> <br />After reading Jonpthan Maz~'H urticl~ in the Focus News, <br />please let me give you I11Y thoughts regarding this matt~r: <br /> <br />FIRST: I gath~re(~ from the a:roticlt"; that Everest is now con- <br />centrating on changing the zoning laws. Is this only the first <br />atep toward aohieving his goal, pleas~ do not p~rmit thb to happen. <br />The tall building) Inthemselves would be bad enough, but the parkbg <br />ramps w>uld be outrageous. We ar~ alt'l'Iady so close to the freeway. <br />What will the additional car~ in our back yards do to the air quality? <br /> <br />SECOND: If he excavates for an unc)ergro1.J nd parking fae ili ty, <br />what will it do to the water drainage in this area? Ours is noted <br />for a high water table. We struggle now to keep our basements 0r~ <br />How~ll this projAct affect the many homes here? <br /> <br />THIRD: These buildings and parking GreBS will be Dractically <br />adjaoent to the library. Human nature 18 such that it wou1.d be <br />easier to park in the library parklng lot than circle around a <br />ramp and finding no available space.. Library patrcns will suffer. <br /> <br />FOURTH: We r~alize that all prop~rty will be d~veloped in <br />time, but keep it within tho character of the quiet, residential <br />nei@lborhood it already iuo ~hatls why we originally bought our <br />homes here.. <br /> <br />FIFTH: We alrp.ady have two office buildings in the area - <br />both of whioh are always aevertising the availability of office <br />space. what need is there for more? <br /> <br />SIXTH: On a personal nota -aur back yard abuts the vault <br />company. We do not have anywhere near the ~OO ft. mentioned at <br />the mee tinge <br />
