CITY CLERK'S 77EICE
AMES, 10WA
To: Ames City Council NOV 2 3 1976
Regardinn: Petition for rezoning property on South Elwood Drive and
Oakwood Road by Ev Cochrane and Associates, Inc.
14e agree with the expressed need to plan so as to control and
manage city growth at a rate and level of quality beneficial to the city.
We also agree with the desires to develop land use patterns which make
possible a safe and pleasant environment and which enhance social and
economic welfare.
With this in mind we ask that you vote against the rezoning request
of Ev Cochrane and Associates , Inc. as it relates to the properties
South of the Gateway Center on Oakwood Road and South Elwood Drive. We
have norfelt need for commercial establishments and need is the test for
such establishments. Furthermore we submit that the rezoning proposed
is not compatible with surrounding land uses .
In short, we request that the current C-5 rezoning be refused and that
the Oakwood Road frontage under question be equally divided amcrc P,-1 , R.-2,
and R-3. In addition, i�we ask that the I-3 proposal be refused `-,ecause it
is too close to a residential area and is out of keeping with the widely
expressed desire to build an attractive approach to the Iowa State Center
and the campus area.
