Session 1849 August 12, 2002 aren't here to try and change the zoning, but they may attempt to go through the appropriate channels to try and do this. The residents are opposed to any open type business, including automotive. Property values are soaring and he feels that this conditional use for a discount Meineke muffler store will not promote community welfare or convenience. He respectfully requests that the Council deny this conditional use permit. Nancy Bowser, 8050 Teasdale, is opposed to this measure. She does not believe that any proposal should be approved just because it meets the minimum zoning requirements. The Comprehensive Plan puts great emphasis on maintaining quality of residential life. This proposal will not maintain the quality of life. She requests that the Council deny this proposal. This proposal will in the long run negatively effect property values and thus revenue. Ralph Bowser, 8050 Teasdale, stated that he was opposed to this proposal. The zoning code calls for services to be provided to be needed. The residents do not need this service. It also does not constitute or promote community welfare. The City already has petitions representing 300 adults or 10% of residents in this immediate area. He wants to know why no one is listening. This business may be gone in a few months if their bottom line isn't healthy. Them is no commitment to the community, only to money. He requests that the Council deny this proposal. Fred Niederman, 8063 Teasdale, stated that he was opposed to this proposal. He thanked the Mayor and City Council for responding to his letter. He doesn't believe it is fair to the developer to ask him to spend more money for extra development work for a project that the residents do not want to happen in any case. This corner is used by synagogue attendees who are pedestrians and this proposal causes significant safety hazards to them. He requests a denial by Council. Jane Eckert, 8054 Teasdale, stated that she was opposed to this proposal. She does not believe that this development will contribute to and promote the community welfare and convenience. Jeffrey Bassin, 8037 Teasdale, stated that he is opposed to this measure. He can not see how a franchised discount muffler shop can promote positively the quality community values. These values must be protected. There are plenty of these types of businesses in this region and we do not need one here. He asked the Council to vote and deny this conditional use permit. Bill Kuehl, 8055 Teasdale, stated that he was opposed to this proposal. He has concerns that this conditional use will negatively affect property values. He wonders how the revenue generated from this business will relate to the drop in property values. He also believes that there are definite safety concerns with the pedestrians walking to and from synagogue.
