Deny request to rezone Baranof
by Sharon & Timothy Clepper

Monday
The request to rezone Baranof Avenue from residential to light
industrial should be denied. This is an area of schools, family
homes and apartment houses, and it should not be altered in this
manner. Any business is likely to include increased noise and
traffic, and this negative change will affect our neighborhood
greatly. Surely there are other, more appropriate, places for
a business.
We are strongly against the
rezoning of Baranof Avenue. It is ill advised and will result
in the deterioration of the quality of life in our neighborhood.
It would also be dangerous. The vehicle and pedestrian congestion
on that part of Baranof Avenue is already at high levels. Often
the visibility is restricted due to the numbers of boats and
trucks that are routinely parked there. Someone is going to get
hurt there, especially if this alteration to the current zoning
is allowed. Join us in letting the Borough know that the request
by Greg and Lisa Boles to rezone Baranof Avenue is a mistake.
