Tuesday, November 16, 1999 To the Mooresville Plaruùng ConuI1Ìssion: I am writing this letter to you to make everyone aware of a situation that is developing in our part of Mooresville very quickly. We the residents of E. South Street have reason to believe that the lumberyard situated on the south side of E. South Street is planning to expand on two more lots east of their location right now. The reason we think the lwnberyard plans to expand, and mind you, I say quickly. Because the lwnberyard owns the house and property on #223 E. South Street where a family of five with three little children have lived in for years. And yesterday we found out that the lumberyard has told them to move out by the last day of November, 99; in less than three weeks. Now, a few weeks ago, there was a fire deemed suspicious next door at 231 E. South Street. We found out yesterday that the lumberyard bought that property. And the word is that they are planning to tear down # 231 and # 223 to expand the lwnberyard, to bring more trucks, more pollution and more noise in the middle of the night even with trucks coming in and out of one of the main entrances to our town and our street. 1 don't want to see this happen. And my neighbors don't want to see this happen either. '- I am completely against the expansion of the lwnberyard because that would put the lumberyard just fifteen feet from my house. We recently built an expensive extension to our house and if the lumberyard expands next to us, what do you think that will do to our property value and to everyone around the lwnberyard and how does it look for the center of our town of Mooresville? The lwnberyard is already a dusty, grimy, disagreeable, hard to swallow neighbor that essentially does more damage than good to our community, our town. I say, if they have a need to expand, they should find a piece of property that is appropriately located, and not in the middle of our residential community. We have not complained about them before, but they did expand their facility within the last two years onto two residentialJ.QtsJhat are still zoned R-l. And the startling fact was thatt~ey did it practically overnight. I asked the Cle' ffiçe how ~ could get away with exI'anding~bu~lIless ,'On pr~l?e~ at IS not eg roned. t e reI' Y was t at no one comp ame Well, I am comp auung now. Piña ,my usban an our nelg bors all want to e eard. They will not expand the lwnberyard in our community in the middle of town. The lwnberyard does NOT belong there anymore. Our town is special, we love it and we want to live and raise our children with peace of mind and dignity. And our neighbors are all in agreement with me. We will stop the expansion of the lwnberyard. Sincerely, - Mrs. Louise Conrad 239 E.
