At that time, the area showed <br />promise for first class development. We were required to support that <br />prospect in our buitding program. I believe any of you familiar with our <br />building and grounds will agree that we continue to take pride in our <br />commercial property appearance. <br /> <br />What troubles us is the fact that the rules imposed upon our building <br />development plan have been continually relaxed and/or unenforced with <br />others in our area. The subsequent development has been a disappointment <br />to us and I should think to the people of Ramsay, Our view to the <br />northeast is that of the landfill, A number of parcels to the east seem to <br />be primarily outside storage for a variety of abandoned trucks, trailers <br />and other unused equipment and materials. <br /> <br />Now, the biggest concern we have is for the proposed concrete and asphalt <br />recycling facility. We are faced with the prospect of 35 foot high piles of <br />rubble, and an additional 55 trucks per day past our office door. Many of <br />these trucks will have smoking tar and at the very least will produce <br />intolerable noise and atmosphere for our company. <br /> <br />t might add that we donated property fOr the road to accommodate the <br />parceling of these properties to the east. The road was not needed for our <br />use, as we have frontage on Ramsey Boulevard. Now it appears as though <br />the use of this road may necessarily drive us out of our property. <br /> <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br />m <br /> <br />We attended the public hearing on this issue where it became clear that <br />the Planning and Zoning Commission would like to see this conditional use <br />permit approved, without regard for prior codes and regulations, in order <br /> <br />m <br />m <br /> <br /> <br />
