However, these are the only <br />residental lots on our west side. The rest consists of a church and commerical <br />business's of a rental storage building, bowling alley and welding supply business <br />and on the east side we have a hotel. <br /> <br />If the reason the city is considering rezoning our property to R-1 is to avoid having <br />a commerical property next to a residential area, it doesn't make sense to zone it to <br />R-1. Zonning our property to R-1 would cause a larger problem of having many <br />more residential lots next to commerical property than leaving it zonned B-2. This <br />is because the north side of this property consists of over eleven hundred feet <br />(1102.46 ft) on Riverdale Drive and zonning it R-1 would now create a large area <br />of residential lots right across the street from a big commercial area. <br /> <br />The area surrounding our property is of a much more commerical nature then a <br />residential one. Therefore we ask that we may keeP our existing B-2 zonning as it <br />is much more compatable with the surrounding area than a R-1 zonning would be. <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Lora & Edward Hamilton <br />Corinne & Winslow HOlasek <br /> <br />cc Patrick Trudgeon, City Planner <br /> <br /> <br />
