HomeMy WebLinkAboutA007 - letter from C Eugene Stewart regarding rezoning request Doboy Feeds 1 P.O. Box BB, ISU Station Ames,Iowa 50010 (515) 292-1312 DOctober 7, 1976 Domain Industries, Inc. Mary E. Paul City Clerk City of Ames Ames, IA 50010 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 CES:et
