WORK BY PROPERTY OWNERS TO REZONE PROPERTY AT THE INTERSECTION OF HOMER ROAD AND ELM STREET AND ADDITIONAL ADJOINING PROPERTY

I would like to begin by stating that this is not a personal thing about any one person, nor is it against another. Our opposition is represented by a member of a group of Minden citizens and property owners who have invested and continue to invest in their property because they love their community and are proud of the Historic District. Many homes are from past generations, with some of our historic district homes being in the same families for the last forty years or more. Some of us are recent owners, but we all have a love of the historic homes and the neighborhood in which we all live.

Zoning laws are established to regulate and separate residential and business districts. We ask your help in protecting our historic residential community, and you can do this by displaying a sign showing your support. Talk to neighbors and friends, call your city council representative and ask that they all support us in our endeavor to protect the historic district. (Note: just ask for their support, do not insist on an answer because ethically they can not do this prior to voting when the time comes.)

Sign one of the Citizens Against Residential Rezoning petitions and show others that you, too are wholeheartedly supporting our effort to put up a united front against the destruction of our historic district.

Attend the Planning Commission Public Hearing when it is called, and express your feelings to the Commission.

Lastly, and most importantly, attend the City Council meeting and when they rule on the zoning change, and stand to speak in opposition to the rezoning!

Thanks for your support and encouragement,

Bill Green
