these. They included but were not limited to,safety issues, restricted access
to the property of the proposed business, buffer zones, walls, trees to protect

of having an environmental cleanup company within the City limits.

the lack of adequate drainage on the property.

the homes in the Comanche Circle area would drop if the business were
allowed to locate on this property.
e. Annette L. Hernandez spoke against the rezoning siting the proximity of the
school to the proposed business. She went on to point out that the homes in
this neighborhood were older, the neighborhood was more established and
that this change would adversely effect their potential resale value.

addition of new business. However, not in her backyard.
