Dear Mr. Jones,
We appreciate your updates concerning the proposed project to build a
Discount Tire Store off of Fossil Creek Parkway. Since we will be unable to
attend the hearing on October 1, 1 am writing to tell you of my concerns.
As we enjoyed the quiet of our yard on Saturday afternoon, we felt sad to
think that the tranquility is threatened by the possibility of this tire business
being built to so close to these residences. We would, of course, prefer to
see nothing built on that lot but realize that some commercial enterprise
will be there at some time. It would seem to be much more appropriate
to have a business with less of a traffic and noise impact and one that
better corresponds to the schedules of the nearby residents.
Another concern we have with a business that has heavier usage is the
increase in traffic at the intersection of Fossil Creek Parkway and College
Avenue. Those of us who deal with this intersection every day know that
it is very hard to get on and off the parkway. With the speed limit of 55
miles per hour on College through that intersection, making both right and
left turns can be very dangerous. Putting in a business such as the tire
store will negatively impact the problems at that intersection.
We appreciate the considerable amount of time and thought you have
given to this project. We also appreciate having the opportunity to give
input and hope you will consider our concerns and those of other
neighbors as you make your decision.
Sincerely,
Mary nn Seymour
