<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />October 05, 1989 <br /> <br />To Whan It May Concern: <br /> <br />I bought my property in 1976 and built a brick hane on it in 1980. I <br />waited four (4) years to find out about zoning and the effect of flood <br />control ditch, being concerned about flooding or the possibility of <br />such. After the stom "Claudette" I decided to go ahead and build. At <br />that tiIre, I was assured that the property was zoned single dwelling <br />residential. I built my house facing east approximately 102 feet fran <br />the boundary line on my east side. I attended the recent meeting at <br />city hall and heard that the birds, emu, did not have a discernible <br />smell fran their droppings. Being reared up on the farm where we had <br />chickens, turkeys, caws, etc., I find this difficult to believe. I <br />also heard that emu did not make very much noise . Only a hissing noise <br />when they were disturbed, but if the proposed 200 birds or animals are <br />disturbed by stray dogs or other, they could be fairly loud with their <br />hissing noises. <br /> <br />My main concern is what effect a ranch of this type located 102 feet <br />fran the front of my house would have on my property value. Many <br />people would not care to live directly across fran a farm such as this, <br />thus reducing my selling price if I should ever decide to sell. <br /> <br />It is my understanding that intense agricultural use of this property <br />would qualify for Agricultural use and lawer the revenue in taxes to <br />the city, school and county, while I would continue to pay on appraisal <br />value of approximately $ 14,000 per acre. <br /> <br />I believe the property should remain zoned as single dwelling law <br />density residential. <br />
