Hello,
I am asking you to vote NO on the Ordinance No. 2055, creating a Pole Yard Urban RenewalDistrict.
You should not be incentivizing development, until further study is done to understand
development requirements for this property. Since it is a superfund site, and there are stillcontaminated soils, encouraging development at this point in time is quite preliminary.
I support the city county health department recommendation for the city to complete their due
diligence in determining "uses and development requirements that would be protective ofhuman health and the environment”.
How can you be discussing a tax revenue for infrastructure development, when there is
currently leaching of contaminants to the groundwater?
Do not make a hasty decision for encouraging development, before potential costs of theinfrastructure.
Thank you,
Beth
