Mayor John Bergeson <br />September 25, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br />directly north of our site, the City's has allowed the most intensive commercial zoning, GB, adjacent to R -1 <br />single family. Staff has indicated rezoning our property to LB was an "error", so using the same logic, <br />clearly the zoning to the north to GB was an even bigger error. That location is similar and the intensity of <br />uses is less compatible. Therefore, the City needs to be consistent and rezone that property as well, to <br />eliminate non - conforming uses of the property in the future. <br />4) We understand that this rezoning maybe a foregone conclusion and will be adopted regardless of our <br />position. As a property owner we are troubled by the assertion that a public meeting and debate of ideas <br />is meaningless. We may not have always agreed with the City, but always respected the process. <br />5) The pending action of the Council to deny the conditional use permit for the drive - through has <br />effectively prevented our development of the site as recently proposed. We have lost a quality tenant that <br />would have anchored the building and will likely lose another quality tenant as a result. The long term use <br />of the site is now uncertain and the property has lost substantial value. <br />It is unclear why such a "firestorm" has developed over a simple request for a drive - through window for a <br />coffee house. We rely on the Council to continue to use fair and impartial judgment and consider our <br />arguments before rendering a decision. Please deny this rezoning. <br />Sincerely, <br />Becky Nelson <br />Bruggeman Properties, LLC <br />
