Dear Ms. Paul:
We have received your letter notifying us of the
proposed ordinance rezoning property located in
the old town of Ontario and north-northwest of the
intersection of Georgia Avenue and Toronto Street
from I-1 to R-3. I will not be attending the City
Council meeting on October 26th when this matter
is to be a part of the agenda and would like our
opinions to be a matter of record with the Council.
We question the natural drainage of the area under
consideration and are concerned about its affect
on our property.
A heavy concentration of people living near our
plant is not in the best interest of all concerned
since our operations occasionally do make noise for
limited periods of time.
We believe there is a possibility of reducing our
real estate value for re-sale purposes as an industry
if the area all around us were to be zoned R-3.
However, we intend to remain in business at this
location for many years and request that you take
this into consideration when making any zoning changes
in this section of Ames.
We appreciate your attention to our objection re-
garding the rezoning of the immediate area around us
to R-3. It is in the best interest of Domain Industries,
Inc. , and I feel the best interest of the City of Ames,
to keep the property in question zoned I-1 (Light
Industrial) .
Sincerely,
C. Eugene Stewart
Branch Controller
