Subject: Strong Opposition to Rezoning Request for [CCP-0011-26 #17 D-5 Estate Adrian, St. 
John VI – 3-06201-0437-00] 
Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Board, 
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the request to rezone the parcel located at #17 D-
5 Estate Adrian, St. John VI – 3-06201-0437-00 from residential to commercial use. 
This proposal is inconsistent with the established character and long-term vision of our 
residential community. The subject property is landlocked within a residential neighborhood, 
with access limited to a private road that was never designed to accommodate commercial or 
industrial traffic. A single parcel should not be permitted to dictate or undermine the planning 
framework that governs the surrounding area. 
The intended use of this property, to store heavy trucks, is particularly troubling. Such activity is 
wholly incompatible with a residential environment. The noise generated by diesel engines, 
idling trucks, and frequent vehicle movement would significantly disrupt the peace and quality of 
life for nearby residents. This is especially concerning given the proximity of a senior center and 
neighboring homes, where residents would be directly impacted by excessive noise and 
disturbance. 
In addition to noise concerns, the private road providing access to the property is not structurally 
suited for heavy truck traffic. The increased load and frequency of use would likely lead to 
accelerated deterioration, safety hazards, and costly repairs, placing an unfair burden on the 
residents who depend on and maintain this roadway. 
Furthermore, this rezoning request stands in direct contrast to the community’s recent planning 
decisions. The approval of nearby land for residential apartment development reflects a clear and 
consistent vision for growth that supports housing and community cohesion (Bill No. 35-0281). 
Introducing a commercial truck storage operation into the same area contradicts that vision and 
creates a conflicting land use pattern that undermines thoughtful planning efforts. 
This request is a clear example of spot zoning, where a single parcel is singled out for treatment 
that is inconsistent with the surrounding zoning for the benefit of a specific property owner 
rather than the community at large. Such actions weaken the integrity of the zoning process and 
warrant careful scrutiny. 
Rather than approving an inappropriate and disruptive rezoning, I respectfully urge the Board to 
deny this application and encourage the property owners to pursue alternative solutions that align 
with existing zoning regulations or seek locations in properly designated commercial or 
industrial areas. 
For the preservation of our neighborhood’s character, safety, and livability, I strongly request 
that you reject this rezoning request. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. 
Sincerely, 
Genee Varlack, Co-Owner 17 K Estate Adrian
