• 9. Since the proposed trail crosses 196th Ave. and 196th Ave. has the sidewalks it is not necessary for the trail to run behind my existing home or the homes of the new lots. The sidewalk on 196th Ave. connects with the sidewalk system on Evans and comes out very close to where the proposed trail would come out. 10. I do not want to see the public walking or kids running by nor hear the public talking, shouting, kids screaming,and so forth while trying to enjoy a dinner on my deck. 11. I have also talked with Darryl Thompson,who is involved with this project, and he is not in favor of this trail running north of 196th either. I have lived here since 1986 when I built the home. I have made many sacrifices already, including monetary ones,in regard to the rezoning and clearing of the property that joins mine. I cannot sit on my deck without the sounds of semi-trucks downshifting,the cars roaring by.I hear the loudspeakers at Menards lumber yard,(which I can hear with my doors and windows shut). I can smell the gas from the Amoco station,the bright lights from Menards and Amoco shine in, garbage blows onto my property from Menards and the highway. My property value was decreased by$3000 on an appraisal I had done on April 15,1998, (see enclosed),because of the zoning of the Hillside Crossings 4. Mature trees are falling down,even two feet in diameter,in the buffer area and are knocking down large trees on my property because of the clearing of the Hillside Crossings 4. I do not need to add to all this with the trail running across the back and people laughing,talking,kids running and screaming down the trail. My privacy and daycare business would be greatly affected and in a detrimental way if a trail runs across the back of my property. My house is too close to the property line. Please put yourself into my position. I welcome anyone from the city planning,the planning commission,the city council,or the developers to come out and see for yourself. Thank you for taking time to read this lengthy request. Sincerely, Cheryl Beclfer 763441-3509
