The sign shines into the residential windows on the west side of Lexington. Member Duncan asked if Lexington should look like Grand Avenue; would Ms. Mueller like that? (she did not like the redevelopment on Grand Avenue). Ms. Kathleen Agness, 2256 Lexington, said neighbors did not want a gasoline station. From her perspective, the Rymer site has been a business for 40 years. The rear yard is a paved lot. Nothing will change inside the house. The lighted sign can be changed. She trimmed the vegetation to look nice, adding new bushes. It will take two to three years to remove weeds. The house should remain a business. She spoke of the uses that could not be established by the lot size. Nice houses in the area and freeway access are reasons for a business on the site. Rymer was a business, which had lessons and sales of equipment. Her business would be week days, 8am to 5pm, not comparable to 400 vehicles per week from the Rymer Academy. Eric Mueller, 2255 Lexington, opposed the rezoning; the house should go back to a residential use. His neighbor has a paved backyard, which allows tum-arounds for Lexington. Cindy Gardner, 2261 Lexington Avenue, said that her house, located on a lot adjacent to Highway 36, is not difficult to live in - traffic and noise are acceptable. Sarah Waxon, 2237 Lexington Avenue, concurred with the opponents. By retaining a business, the site retains more traffic.
