• The result of this would certainly be devastating to the values of all the neighboring residential properties. We believe the difference between this property becoming a park or becoming a commercial refuse recycling business would mean the difference between this area upgrading to a $100,000.00 neighbor- hood or deteriorating to a $40,000.00 neighborhood. The truck and auto traffic created by a commercial recycling business would be a safety problem to the children, pedestrians, and others who daily use Natvig Road, which is a narrow shoulderless street. That commercial traffic, when combined with the residential vehicle traffic, will put additional and dangerous pressure on the intersection of Natvig Road and Highway N which already is a potentially dangerous intersection with very limited visability to the North. It would be much more dangerous for vehicles travelling Southerly over the crest of the hill approaching the Natvig Road intersection if there were large slow-moving refuse trucks using that inter- section. In summation, we believe that homeowners in residential neighborhoods should not have to look out their windows and see a commercial refuse recycling business, or have to pass in front of that type of operation when travelling their neighborhood streets, or to have to compete with those large trucks in getting onto the County Highway, or to have to worry about their children travelling their street in front of the recycling facility with its large truck traffic. The residents of the Town and all the other citizens of the area using Highway N shouldn't be burdened with the additional and unnecessary danger of that big slow refuse truck pulling across the road in front of them as they travel over the crest of the hill on Highway N. Again, we say we are definitely not opposed to recycling, we just don't want it done on an industrial-commercial-business basis in our residential neighborhood. There are plenty of industrial type areas where this type of business would be appropriate and that is where it should be located.
