comments.

opponents to this development ever proved that this development would be harmful to
them in any way.
Monica Zoltanski felt there needed to be a balance between the private property rights of
the seller versus the property rights of the neighboring community. Look at the
presidence it is setting and the scope.
Joe Garlington, 1824 East 10400 South, spoke on behalf of Gerald Anderson, expressing
appreciation to the Applicant Kirk Young for meeting with neighbors. This is a good
compromise.
