<br /> The following letter from Mrs. Evelyn Garthright Mann and Larose M. Mann
<br />
<br /> "We the undersigned, petition the application of Thomas H. and Clara F.
<br />Harden to re-zone the property at the northeast corner of VicR Street and Jewell Avenue from Residential
<br />R-75 to Commercial C-1. I have been a resident of Simonsdale at 805 JewelI Avenue for nineteen [19)
<br />years which is directly across the street from the property in question. Many types of businesses have
<br />tried to operate in Simonsdale at the above mentioned property and failed. We are sorry that the McLean
<br />property was re-zoned Commercial, we were out of town at that time. These buildings are unsightly to
<br />a residential area and at times operate late into the night making noises which are disturbing to a
<br />resident with children or residents who have to retire early due to their working hours. The Island in
<br />the intersection of the above named streets was beautified many years ago by the Simon~dale Garden Club
<br />of which I was oresident for two years. Mr. Harden uses it for parking and placing his tractors etc. on
<br />it. I am sure that you are aware of the many adjourning areas to Simonsdale which are already zoned
<br />commercial, therefore, these establishments are most convienent to us. There are no personal feelings
<br />involved in this netition as I do not know ~ither Mr. Or Mrs. Harden, but we are most concerned for our
<br />Community. Please let us b~3considered and heard in this matter, and would appreciate you seeing that
<br />each member of the City Council receives a copy of our petition."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Barnes to refer back to the Planning Commission for
<br />resubmission, was adopted, without dissenting vote.
<br />
