HomeMy WebLinkAboutWRITTEN RESPONSE - Madison School District - 246 & 269 N 1st E - Rezone to HBDMay,31,2002 Dear Mr. Kay Since we wont be here on the l ltb & 12th of June I am sending you our comments on the hearing to be held on June, 12a' of 2002. we do not want the zone change for the following reasons. 1. By changing the zone from low Density Residential 1(LDR) and Light Industrial (Ll) to Highway Business District (ISD) this would lower our property values a great amount and we don't want this to happen. 2. It is hard enough to get in and out of your driveway as it is. And this would even make it worse to get in and out your driveway. 3. We have school buses loading and unloading children to go to schooland to return home from school. By changing the zone would put the children in greater jeopardy of getting hurt or even killed. Is the City of Rexburg ready to take on this responsibility if this should happen? 4. We have handicap people who come up and down this road every day in electric wheel chairs to get to and back from the stores. Do you really want to take this away from them? to some of them this is the only means of transportation they have. 5. We have small children who live and play along this street and a person has to be real care full in case one of them runs out into the road. And by making a zone change would put these children at greater risk of getting hurt or even getting killed. Is the City of Rexburg really ready to take this responsibility up on them selves? 6. We have people who ride bicycles and jog along this road. Is the City of Rexburg willing to jeopardize their lives as well? And take on the responsibility for this also? 7. Also is the City of Rexburg willing to take the responsibility for any accidents that might happen along this road when people are trying to get out of their driveways? 8. If the answer is yes to any of these questions let it be. Other wise turn down this proposal before any of these things happen. We don't need a zone change it is bad enough as it is. CC: File Rexburg Standard Journal Post Register KIFI Local News 8 Sincerely George and Margaret Wiser 216North I't East Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Phone: (208) 359-9735 JUNE 21,2002 Dear Mr Kay, Since we more then likely wont be here on the 3 m of July to attend your public hearing we are once again giving you our comments in writing so they can be read at the hearing. From my understanding the last ones I submitted to you were never read. We still stand by what we wrote in our comments before. As I stated we have several families who have very small children who live around here and they do get out on the street while they are playing. Is the city of Rexburg willing to take the responsibilities if one of these children get hit by a car or truck and get seriously injured or even killed? What about the people who use electric wheel chairs or those who ride bicycles or even jog along this road? They do this all the time. Also is the city of Rexburg willing to take it up on themselves if there is a serious accident when some one backs out of their driveway? We have a lot of traffic on this road as it is and we don't need any more. As I stated before this will also drive the value of our property down. Is this what the city wants? Or is it because the city stands to make more money if they change the zoning from low Density Residential I (LDR) and light industrial ( LI ) to I-Iighway Business District ( BBD ) ? Is the extra amount of money you make from this worth risking the life of some Child or Adult? Or getting some one seriously hurt? Is the city willing to pay the medical costs for such a person if they do get hurt or killed? What is the city going to do about all the extra noise we will have to put up with? are you willing to handle any complaints about the noise when you get them? if so what are you going to do about it? We sure hope you will reconsider in not making this a Highway Business District zone. if you do change the zoning we sure hope you take the Responsibility that will go along with it. If some one does get hurt or killed I hope you all have a good conscious that wont keep you awake at nights thinking about the person who got hurt or killed.
