Good evening Council Members,
My name is Kenesha Boyd. I am a long time resident and homeowner in the North Verdemont
area.
It is my understanding that 3 investors have submitted Letters of Interest in the Bice Property.
I beg you to please consider the community for which the Bice Property is located
before proceeding with any offers. As a long time resident and homeowner, who is not
opposed to development, I believe any development in the North Verdemont area should be
conducive to the overall aesthetics of the area.
We do not need anymore empty and/or unkept warehouses. We do not have the
infrastructure to support large freight trucks at the Palm/Kendall exit. We cannot even
accommodate the large number of motor vehicles during peak hours as it is now. With the
property being in close proximity to 2 local schools the addition of warehouses will create a
safety risk to our health with increased pollution to the area but also to our children who have
to walk to & from school.
I hope that you will put the community first and not accept any offers until a general plan has
been set for our city so that we can move toward a well planned and thriving city that we long
to be.
I also request that do not honor Mayor Valdivia's request for legal representation for his poor
judgement. We as a city cannot bear the burden more legal expenses. There are plenty of
other areas that money can be used that would benefit the city as a whole.
Regards,
Kenesha Boyd
