<br />The following petition was received from resid'ents of Armistead Forest:
<br />
<br />by
<br />
<br /> We the people of Armistead Forest oppose the above rezoning because of the following
<br />reasons:
<br />
<br /> (1) The rezoning would depreciate the value of our homes.
<br /> (2) It would increase the traffic flow through our neighborhood w~ch would endanger
<br /> the safety of our children.
<br /> (3) Streets and drainage have not been properly taken care of in the past, and this
<br /> type of increase in population would just make matters worse.
<br /> (4) We have a high quality neighborhood and we want to keep it that way!
<br /> (5) We do not want this matter to come up for rezoning a~ain, and we want a
<br /> permanent decision by the City Council to this effect, as this matter has
<br /> been before the Commission and the City Council three times.
<br /> (6) Since the rezoning has come up, quite a few homes have been put on the
<br /> market for sale.
<br /> (7) If the City of Portsmouth wishes to maintain its growth in population, it
<br /> should listen to the voice of its citizens. Signed by Margarez Warren, 3817
<br />Yaupon Street and others." (85 signatures)
