To Whom It May Concern:
We would like to express our concerns regarding the proposed development plan
(USR-1480) for Mildred Mae Sarchet/Arrested Oil Field Services. We strongly
object to any change in zoning that would allow the facility to continue its
operations. The site was designated to be used for residential and agricultural
purposes. However, Arrested Oil Field Services has shown complete disregard
for zoning regulations by operating from its current location.
If Arrested Oil Field Services is allowed to continue operating, all of the
surrounding property owners will pay the price. We have purchased land and
built our homes in an agricultural community. The value of our land and homes
will decrease because of the change in zoning. If the facility continues to operate
it will increase the traffic in the area, thus, increasing the cost to maintain roads.
The facility currently operates throughout the night and it will probably continue to
do so, causing disruptions in an otherwise quiet, peaceful area.
The proposed development plan is site specific but if it passes, it may open the
door to future zoning changes. Arrested Oil Field Services may just want to
operate out of an office for now but what happens when the business needs to
expand? Will they use the remaining portion of their land to park more trucks and
store more equipment when it is still part of the Agricultural Zone District? If
Arrested Oil Field Services does not have plans on expanding there is always the
possibility that they will sell the property to another company that will use the
entire portion of the property for industrial purposes.
Zoning regulations are required for situations such as this. They are used to limit
the uses of property so that property and home owners can invest in specific
areas without fear of losing on their investment and business owners can operate
in areas set aside for industrial purposes. If Arrested Oil Field Services wants to
continue operating its business, it should move somewhere that is designed for
that purpose. Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.
Cordially, _ �G e 164 Eddie & Kirsten Jimenez
