Public comment for the hearing for the rezoning application CCZP0069-25

Good morning Ms. LaPlace-Matthew



| unfortunately will not be able to attend the zoom meeting today, but here is my comment for the

record:



As a resident of Hermon Hill, | am concerned Attah Misbeh might be able to proceed with other types of

developments if the land is rezoned to B-2. There is nothing that will hold him to his current plans.



Should he proceed to develop the land in a manner closer to his original plan, it will be a HUGE

detriment to the island and to everyone who traverses Centerline Road on a daily basis. Traffic will

increase in an area that is already busy and prone to frequent accidents. This section of road cannot

handle the increase in traffic that any kind of large development will bring to the area.



Thank you,

Joan Szatkowski

A rezoning, if granted, is not bound to the conceptual plans presented.

Ce Book time to meet with me

Thank you! | will do so.



Before | submit my comments, | do have a question:



Will the Misbeh brothers be bound to their development plan as presented (number of residential

units), or will the zoning change from R1 to B2 allow them to sneak in another type of development, or



double the number of units planned, once the zoning change has been made?



My main concern, as a resident of the area, is the increase in traffic that will occur during and after

construction of this development in an already congested area.



Thanks,

Joan Szatkowski
