Tuesday,. N6vember 18, 2Q08 7:48 AM , To: Brian Olson Subject: RE; Concerns 6rian, - Thank you for the invitation to this meeting, however, I work evenings and am unable to get off,. I just want you to know my concerns; 1. The racing cars through our neighf~orhood are people who do not live in our neighborhood. We have several small children in the area and these cars have na regard when they Game speeding through. ~. Also, our nelghborhood does not have street lights on each corner, only at one residence there is a light, HOWEVER, this does not coverall areas and WE AS NEIGHBORS are paying for this light, which is not right!!!!I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I!!!!!!!!!!!! 3. Thus, without lights in our neighborhood, many of us leave our house lights. on at night, which means we are paying more on ou.r electric bill in order to light the neighborhood. 4: Also, without street lights and with people driving through our neighborhood who do-not belong here, makes it mare at risk for vandalism, break-ins, etc. One morning at 2 a.m. I happened to be up to let one of my dogs out and a car had pulled into my driveway, I ran down to the front door and flipped on the yard light and then they left. So, again, our. neighborhood is at risk for things happening that are being committed by people who do not live in our nelghborhood. All in all, we need that intersection Glared right after the access to the businesses. It's awin/win situation..,the businesses-still have their access and we have our neighborhood back. Thank you for having this meeting and .discussing our concerns, It is GREATLY APPRECIATED, Oh yes, by the way, on that back road behind the businesses, people have been dumping garbage bads there. The one set of bags must have been from someone moving, because there was a curtain rod there, I see the curtain rod is gone, however, all the bags are there, There have also been ear batteries tossed there at times. I have contacted the police TWICE to remove these and-NOTHING has been done,.,whleh is very upsetting1!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!!!1!! I usually walk every day and see this and it is very disheartening to know that people are basically inconsiderate PIGS. Anyway, thank you again and look forward to hearing the outcome of your meeting. Just be assured that bur neighborhood will .not give up on Closing this access to our neighborhood. Thanks again.
