We consider the Five Points, Madison Township, SR144 area to be primarily residential and still growing in that respect. It is upsetting to hear someone tell the Mooresville Plan Commission and Town Cotmcil that this area is trending to be, and is destined for, business. It was also stated that the area is becoming less residential. This is tmtme. There are scores of nice middle and upper-class homes in this area, and more are being constructed each year. The property Mr. Holloway is wanting rezoned is not only surrounded by residential homes, and families just like yours, but directly adjoins The Five Points Babtist Church and Parsonage and the future home of the Mt. Gilead Church of Christ. Both of these church's were represented at the June 25 heating, and spoke in opposition to the rezoning. (definition of"B-2 Local Business") "The Local Business zoning district is designed and located in areas adjoining residential neighborhoods to accommodate the primary needs of that locality. This district should place convenience and necessity_ facilities close to consumers in limited The Five Points neighborhood is not a "limited area", as we are only minutes away from anything we Could possibly consider convenient or necessary. The request for rezoning properties to business should be justified by the benefit it provides for fulfilling the primary needs of the locality. The requesting parties in this case have not been willing to share with the Plan Commission or thfi neighborhood as to what they intend to do with the property and how it will benefit the residential community. We ask that you uphold the Plan Commission's decision that this request should, and for good reason, be denied.
