Ball Voss,Mayor ATTEST: )112%e-t�v Mary ach City Clerk To; Fairfax Planning& Zoning Fairfax City Council The homeowners of East Cemetery lid. &Fairfax Heights 1St Addition do hereby respectfully request that the request for rezoning of Lots 1,2,4,and 5, Karal's Third Addition to "Ml Industrial"be DENIED.. As members of the Community and City of Fairfax, we believe that the proposed use of said property will NOT contribute to the betterment of our community. Attached is a list of signatures, address', &'phone numbers of area homeowners who are against this rezoning. Note,this is only a partial list as the residents West of Hwy. 151 and within the City, South of Prairie Creek,have not yet been approached about this matter, as of Monday Nov. 4,2002 Mr. Larson's request for rezoning lists the reason this should be rezoned as; "There is no existing use for this property by us" (see attached document). This is only one reason, and we feel it is not a good one.. Our reasons against include,but are not limited to the following; 1. Noise a. Dropping and reconnecting of trailers b. Running tractors, sometimes 24 hours a day when cold outside c. Using"Jake Brakes"when slowing to turn.onto 80th St. 2. Dust a. Will this property be paved?If not,how much dust will be raised by moving trailers?' 3. Smoke and odor a. Trucks running 24 hours when cold,the smell of diesel could.come into homes through the ventilation systems and residue from smoke could possibly discolor siding&paint on homes 4. Traffic a. Increased heavy truck traffic on roads not currently paved to handle the load b. Hwy.. 151 and 80th St. intersection is already hard to cross, adding truck traffic would make this a dangerous intersection to enter from 80th St.both for trucks trying to get on Hwy. 151 and for oncoming traffic 5, Physical appearance a. The current JMS parking facility is not the most appealing to the eye, (see attached pictures) especially next to homes in the$140-250,000 range All of these reasons are listed under the"Ml Industrial"Ordinance as"detrimental to the surrounding area or to the community as a whole"'. This could also lower property values of existing&future homes. Another very important reason is, some of the homes within the"2001 foot range" are on"sand-point" wells. This means they pull their drinking water from a well that is about 24 feet underground.If for some reason a fuel tank ruptured or leaked,this would contaminate their water source. Furthermore, we feel Mr. Larson's site plan shows no reasonable plan to control the amount of water runoff that back filling this property would add to. Anybody who has driven by this site after a decent rain knows what a problem this currently is, especially after the Fairfax Heights Addition was put in. We want everybody to understand that we DO NOT have ANY ill feelings toward Mr. Larson,we only feel that this property is NOT a good location for this type of business,this close to residential. According to the "Future Land Use& Goals"map in the City's "Comprehensive Plan 1999" this land should still be"Residential". Page 52 says "This map should be consulted prior to any decision regarding a request for a change in zoning.""Doing so adds validity to the Planning&Zoning Commision's and City Council's decisions when considering rezoning requests." We ask that you give this matter serious consideration as to the future impact on this community. Speaking for me personally,my family has lived here for the last 7 years, We built our house&moved here because we wanted to be part of a small community where our kids could grow up until they moved out of the house. My wife&1 both come from the small town community of Victor. We moved all of our banking to the Fairfax State Bank, our kids are in the parades every year, our kids are at"Story time"at the]library every week, as long as we don't have other commitments,we buy all our salt for our water softener from"Waterworks". We want this community to look good to people who do business here or are just passing through on Hwy. 151. 1 don't see how looking at 20- trailers next to residential,when coming out of Cedar Rapids, is going to impress anybody as to the pride we should have being residents of Fairfax.I think letting this rezoning pass could possibly make alot of people question how much pride in our City,the elected(or volunteer)officials, and residents actually have, Whether you live a block away or 1 mile away, PLEASE look at this issue as if you lived next door to it. In reality,you do live next door, Sincerely, Tim McAdam 65 E. Cemetery Rd. THANKS FOR SH0WING YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE !

When the Larsen's excavator first arrived on the site he came up to talk with us. We told him that there were a number of major drainage issues on and around this piece of property. We also told him we would be glad to give him the name of the environmental engineers we used when developing our,site. He basically replied, "that he was Ron Buschman and that this was G. Sevigville and that he would be doing anything that he wanted to do in order to drain this piece of property." He further informed us, "that this site would be a truck terminal with over 100 tractor-trailers coming and going", It is hard to imagine in this day and age that someone would apply for a.permit to install a culvert, and assume that it is okay to bring in 60 or 80 loads of fill and debris and begin raising the property 3 to 8 feet with no plan- drainage or storm water runoff; or pollution prevention nor proper permits and approvals. When we developed our site, we had to apply for an N.P.D.E.S. Wastewater Discharge permit through the State of Iowa DNR. This permit is necessary due to the fact that we do not have city sewer available to us and we wash between 5-7 vehicles per week. We have a full special septic to handle and monitor this. Our usage is so very, very minimal that most of the time the water evaporates long before it reaches a point of discharge. This permit is renewable every fzfth year. 'fie are in the process of doing this now. In doing so, we spoke with the folks at the DNR — Manchester field office, the Iowa Waste Reduction Center in Cedar Fails and the DNR-Des Moines office. We mentioned the situation that is unfolding behind us and we inquired as to why we seem to be the only new business out this direction that is required to have special permitting, They seemed to feel that the disruption of the referenced site would more than likely require an.N.P.D.E.S. Storm Water Runoff permit and a Pollution Prevention Plan of some sort. Given the fact that none of these permits have been applied for,the only way the DNR would be able to investigate this is for someone to file an official complaint.- Unfortunately, with the way this project has gone so far, we were forced to file an official complaint with the DNR. They also provided us with 17 pages of links to Iowa law regarding the fact that you cannot redirect nor block existing drainage. When we applied for our state curb cut, we had to work with the Iowa D.O.T. to ensure that our, estimated traffic count would not necessitate a turning lane. Wondering what the impact would be on the over taxed 80th street and the dangerous intersection at 80th street and highway 151, we contacted the D.O.T. to see what their thoughts were. As we had figured, they are not able to control this situation as the entrance for this proposed development is on 80th street, not highway 151, They did have a couple of suggestions however. One, they hope this information gets included in the Fairfax Comments section of the T.E.A.P'. (Traffic Engineering Assistance Program) study that has been commissioned for this area; and two they said that they would hope that the board would require the. developer to set up an escrow fund to help pay for the repairs that will be required to keep 80th street in shape, once so many large vehicles begin using it. They said taxpayers should not have to absorb these added expenses for the sake of private business. We are quite sure that you are all as tired of this kind of nonsense as we are. We truly appreciate your assistance in this matter and should you require any additional input or information, please don't hesitate to give us a call, Sincerely, Steve & Teresa Waln Waln Repair& Collision Center I Tabile DP-1.
