The letter basically <br />kction. However, the reason behind the Council <br />,'r. Apparently, what the Council wants t9 do is <br />is my understanding that .the' afe'a tliat:iS <br />perty'.~s m ~ area that alreai:ly'under',the C~ty <br />~Bumness". FUrther, as you kno ,. ~t m Gobel's <br />me:rein!.

Why <br /> <br />do they need slx months to consider rezoning crt er properties? The properties to the north .are <br />already designated in the Comprehensive Plan for highway business. The Gobel's have been <br />paying in excess of $30,000.00 for real estate taxes. They have had a number of inquiries <br />regarding their building. They have a Tenant/Buyer ready to go. The City had and continues to <br />have the opportunity t° mitigate the damages. That it refuses to do it seems incomprehensible. <br /> <br /> It ~s my understanding that there is another Plarming Commiision ~li~aring on November <br />26® to conmder th~s mal~ter'.
