Mr. Mark Wade, 3585 Tahoe Rd. Briar Lane Estates spoke in opposition for the
neighborhood association. He read a letter in terms of a petition which is signed by
residents of this area and if addressed adequately will not be submitting as a petition.
These concerns were for the safety of the children and residents in the neighborhood
and the concern for the value of property. Another concern was the warehouse structure
with loading docks capable of accommodating 18 wheeler semi tractor trailer trucks
at the intersection of 96th St. and Lakeshore Drive. The fact that the location is
less than two blocks south of a residential area containing families with younger
children, and homes valued in the range of $96,000. to $150.000. The fact the owner
j intends to lease section of warehouse to other persons whose identity and manner
of use of these premises is unknown. Noise, pollution, increased traffic which would
discourage profession groups frau locating their offices in this area.
Also a complete screening of the area and something that would be immediate.
Mr. Homer Peterson, Owner and Developer of 197 acres on south side of 96th Street
asked Mrs. Litvan to explain Special Exception.

are designed for access going through residential area. On the lighting issue his
back yard would be facing this project and is concerned about how much lighting
would be emitted.

sign program and lighting.

Mr. Harry Bauer, Bauer Industrial Park was present.
Mrs. Litvan said to Mr. Bauer she thought the entire B-3 area should be buffered
from the adjoining residential area and what plans they might have along these lines.
Mr. Bauer said the ground was zoned for farming and B-3 zoning and that is one
reason there had never been any trees put along the north side of the ground and when
land was sold off that the Board of Zoning Appeals requested the right kind -of buffer
be put in behind the building.
Mr. Bauer said this stunner he intended to put up a 30 foot buffer along the north
side. He said at the time this ground was zoned there were no homes there.

Mr. Bauer work with Mr. Kiphart on this matter.
