Learn why this is important <br />Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. <br />Hello- <br /> <br /> <br />We are writing to you with some thoughts and concerns about this proposed rezoning. <br /> <br />We did not receive any information about this proposal from the City of Lake Elmo regarding this <br />proposal before this Saturday, Feb 9th. Which leaves a short time to respond and effectively get <br />opinions from members of the community that live nearby who would be greatly affected by this. <br /> <br />We chose to live in a residential area and want it to stay residential. Re-zoning this or allowing <br />commercial use would increase traffic and would potentially allow for future non-residential uses in <br />the surrounding area if this were to be allowed. <br /> <br />Rezoning a space that’s zoned agricultural would greatly hurt the integrity of Lake Elmo. <br /> <br />In a recent Star Tribune article, Lake Elmo was named as one of the most desirable suburbs to live in. <br />One of the main reasons was that Lake Elmo offers residents a rural feel. Allowing this rezoning and <br />commercial use would not offer the same rural feel to future and current residents. <br /> <br />We are opposed to this proposed change. <br /> <br />Callie and Kirk Kenneally <br />9828 51st St N, Lake Elmo MN 55042
