<br />
<br /> T~e-~ollawing letter received from Benjamin Harrison, owner of Harrison's Moving &
<br />Storage Co., Inc., dated January 26, 1976, pertaining to above ordinance: t
<br /> "I received a notice in reference to a rezoning in which is listed to come before the
<br />Councilmen February 9, 1976 at ~:30 p.m., docketed as Z-76-2 for the rezoning of land with
<br />boundries from Lincoln Street to Jefferson Street. Sixth Street to Seventh Street to
<br />Residential R-60.
<br /> I would like at this time to let it be known that I am not opposing this personally
<br />as such, but I feel that the Portsmouth Redevelopment & Housing Authority and the City Council
<br />should be made aware of a problem that has existed in the past and with this proposal will
<br />constitute a great problem in the future.
<br /> Harrison's Moving ~ Storage Company is located on property that is zoned light industry,I
<br />and does consist of a business that comes under this category, and it is basically a 24 hour I
<br />a day operation of business. In the past quite a few residents bordering this operation has I
<br /> ined about, the motor noise at night from vehicles, in which part of them are large
<br />compla . . ,
<br />diesel vehicles and realizing that they~had a legimate complaint about the no,se I bought some
<br />of those peoples property, but I also realize that with this pro,oct planning to be built
<br />bordering my premises that it is going to constitute more complaints. I thought that it
<br />should be brought to all parties attention, so that in the future if this project is put into
<br />effec~ that at least you will be familiar with same and I will have someone to send these
<br />people to with their complaints.
<br />
<br /> Therefore, I would like for my concern in reference to this be made a part of the record
<br /> in reference to this hearing.
<br />
<br /> Again, I would like to point out that this is not a personal complaint, only trying to
<br /> point out s~me fa~ts before an expensiv.e project is put into effect with no apparent solution
<br /> to a very antagonizing situation."
<br />
