Planning and Zoning Meeting March I, 2004 Page 3 Delora Redus, has lived at 34th Street SW for about 50 years and they have been trying to get desirable things in the area. West Paris is low on crime and it is a quiet neighborhood. There are a lot more businesses that are desirable could go in the area. Ms. Redus said she just sold an acre lot Bonham Street last year and she would not have dared to sell it for a truck stop. Melissa Huey, 107 Parc Ouest, spoke in opposition to the petition stating that they have worked a long time to make sure that their neighborhood is safe. Ms. Huey expressed concern about pollution-environment and lights. Ms. Huey has a 5 year old son that she is raising as a single parent-concerned about his safety. Chris Whitaker, 2415 Wildwood Lane, home builder in Paris and the Par Ouest Subdivision spoke in opposition to the petition stating that he and Archie Hood have been in a partnership position with the bank in Honey Grove trying to stimulate home buying in the Parc Ouest Subdivision. There were certain stigmas attached to the subdivision to start with because of the restrictive nature at the outset and purpose that was trying to be achieved in Parc Ouest. Mr. Whitaker stated that in his opinion-property values in Parc Ouest would decline. 3.
