Then changed to Highway Business zoning a <br />mall type setting, with courtyard and even a clocktower that never happened. <br />The last hearing I was at the owner of lot 75-431-0310 asked the property owners about a fence or barrier.If we <br />look at the minutes of that meeting The owner swore to the commission that that issue would be resolved <br />PROMPTLY. They would work with those residents to make make them comfortable with the mall area. <br />At this point there are NO houses, NO highway businesses,NO clocktower, NO fence,Only a desire to slap a High <br />Density apartment building in a QUIET neighborhood. A quiet, clean business possibly low density housing Please. <br />My thoughts and Questions <br />1. Please reconsider the Large number of units <br />2. Please resolve positively the barrier. Or fence situation with property owners. <br />3. Please maintain the NO traffic access from this property to Irving Ave. North <br />Sincerely <br />Tom and Becky Halbakken <br />
