Dear Ms. McCulley:

 

I write this letter in support of the Morgantown Road Action Committee's (MRAC) upcoming appeal of your June 26, 2001 zoning decision related to the Faulconer Construction Company.

I am a <parent of a X grade Murray Elementary student / neighbor living on X Road>.  There are two principal points I would like to make regarding this zoning decision.  First, the zoning decision on the proposed Faulconer industrial site is premature on the following grounds: A) the comparable sites you identified, including Faulconer's existing site, have not all received LI zoning status; B) numerous zoning regulations were not considered in your review, particularly those applicable in general to all industrial sites and industrial district performance standards; and C) the impact and activities proposed for the new Faulconer site at Ivy Business Park have not yet been adequately assessed by the Zoning Department or Planning Department because Faulconer has not even submitted a final plan for their use of the site.

Second, the safety of children at both Murray Elementary and the Millstone Preschool must be given attention by the County with respect to traffic on Morgantown Road and water safety before any official zoning determination can be made.  

I urge you to give serious consideration to the appeal being made by the Morgantown Road Action Committee.  This zoning determination was premature and should be rescinded so that more adequate attention may be given to the safety of our children.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

<YOUR SIGNATURE>
