RE: Peterson Auto Plaza, Project Development Plan
Flagstone homeowners are located to the west of the building site of
the projected Peterson Auto Plaza and are on the west side of the
railroad tracks. This puts our homes and occupants in very close
proximity to the Plaza.
There has been much discussion on three very significant points in
relation to such a business and how it will affect each of us as
homeowners in this area. We would like consideration and attention
given to our concerns in this matter.
1) The existing open area will be filled by a three-story
building which will eliminate that which we have enjoyed
thus far. We realize we cannot escape this problem.
2) After studying the landscape plans, we see our view being
limited to a parking area and the back of the building which
provides no enhancement.
The only solution to this problem as we presently see it is
to request a row of evergreen trees (12' tall) be planted
close enough together to form a barrier between the west
side of the building and our homes. Also, the trees could
probably be quite effective in reducing the reverberation of
the train whistles which would bounce off the building.
3) We are also concerned about the possibility of paging
speakers being installed and directed to the west. If such
are to be placed on the outside of the building, we highly
recommend that they be directed to the east, rather than to
the west, to reduce noise pollution.
