The plan <br />is to now develop those 3 outlots with a 4-unit building, a 6-unit building <br />and a 5,000 square foot commercial office building. <br /> <br />Stan Data - 5510 140th Lane N.W. - Stated his property borders Lot 1 of the <br />proposed plat; that he is present speaking on behalf of his neighbors also; <br />apologizes if his following statement offends anybody but he is trying to <br />protect his home equity, security and quality of life: <br /> <br />"I regard Mr. Carson's request for building apartment buildings and <br />office building right next to my lot and my neighbors lots as a public <br />provocation of me and my neighbors. Back in November 1983, I and my <br />neighbors stood before this commission with Mr. Carson present and stated <br />publicly and in writing the reasons why high density housing and commercial <br />property immediately bordering our homes was and still is unacceptable to <br />us. He and possibly this commission have apparently forgotten these <br />reasons since we are gathered together again today to discuss the same <br />issue. Therefore, it seems in order to re-read the main points presented <br />to this commission back in 1983: <br /> <br />P & Z/Public Hearing/December 1, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
