We also <br />were o~y a part of the group that attended the last IDrk sessi~n <br />of the Council regarding this project. It was obvious that you <br />and the other mombers of the Council were just as appa1l~d as we <br />were that a representative of Everest did not even show up and <br />literally leCt us all there to waste three hours. <br /> <br />After reading Jonpthan Maze's (lrticle in the Focus News, <br />please let me give you my thoughts regarding this matter: <br /> <br />FIRST: I gathered from the article that Everest Is now con- <br />centrating on changing the zoning laws. Is this only tho first <br />stop toward achieving his goal~ Please do not permit th~ to happen. <br />The tall building~ inthemselves would be bad enough, but the parkbg <br />ramps IDuld be outrageous. We are already so close to the freeway. <br />What will the additional cars in our back yards do to the air quality? <br /> <br />SECOND: If he eXCava tea for an undergrou nd parking fac ill ty, <br />what will it do to the wa ter draina ge in this area? Ours is noted <br />for a high water table. We struggle now to keep our basements dr~ <br />HowWlll this proj~ct affect the many homl"!s here? <br /> <br />THIRD: These buildings and parking areas will be practically <br />adjaoent to the library.. Human nature is such that it woul.d be <br />easier to park in the library parking lot than circle around a <br />ramp and finding no available space~ Library patrcns will suffer. <br /> <br />FOURTH: We realize that all propl"!rty will be developed in <br />time, but keep it within the character of the quiet, residential <br />neighborhood it already is. That1s why we originally bought our <br />homes here. <br /> <br />FIFTH: We already have two office buildings in the area - <br />both of which are always advertising the availability of office <br />space. what need is there for more? <br /> <br />SIXTH: On a personal note -our back yard abuts the vault <br />company. We do not have anywhere near the aDO fto mentioned at <br />the mee ting. <br />
