Re: 9125 Mann Road — Amend Land Use Plan from C & MF to MX
On October 25, 1999, the West Baseline Neighborhood Association met with Tom
Folkner and Alan Beasley (applicants) as well as Vince Hustead of the Planning
Commission staff during the regular monthly meeting. The members of "NA listened
to a possible proposal to develop 9125 Mann Road as a.mini-warehouse. The members
were aware that the request before them was for a change in the land use plan and that
numerous businesses are allowed in Mixed Use Land Use. The members are also aware
that any proposed use of the land will come before the Planning Commission as well as
the neighborhood.
After careful consideration the membership of West Baseline Neighborhood
Association voted to support the land use change from commercial and Multi -
Family to Mixed Use. Some of the reasons for support of the land use change were -
0 Tax base increase
• Need for business development in the area
* Do not want additional multi -family in the area.
Mann Road has been a troubled area of our neighborhood, especially in regard to general
upkeep and neatness. Tom Folkner, doing business as Tom's Tavern, next door to the
Alert Center has been a good neighbor. The neighborhood supports his plans to expand
his business, especially in an expansion outside the tavern business.
Sincerely,
Norm Floyd
President

Re: Amend the Land use plan from Commercial and Multi-Faimily to Mixed Use
at 9125 Mann Road
Dear Sir:
I do not think it is to the best interest of our community to have this re -zoned
for this project. This property has not been taken care of in the past and we
feel that this may be what will happen ins the future.
This could bring more traffic in an area where children catch school buses and
in the neighborhood where children play.
This type business could cause more thief in this area and we would like to
Prevent this project from Ding built.
Talking with some of our neighbors, they feel the same way.
We do not want this type business in our neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Hooper
