Planning and Zoning Meeting <br /> April 5, 2004 <br /> Page 6 <br /> <br />variables. Stated that Parc Ouest has finally started to grow and does <br />not want to see the growth stifled. <br /> <br />Debbie Burkes, 3935 Sage Trail, main concern is safety and she would <br />not feel safe there. A truck stop is not compatible with the <br />neighborhood. She keeps hearing that businesses are needed in West <br />Paris. We need good neighborhoods, what is a city without <br />neighborhoods, is it just about business and no people. We should have <br />good places for good homes inside Paris.

If you are coming <br />South on the Loop you are coming over an overpass and it does not give <br />you very much time to go across the road if there is a big truck coming <br />out. <br /> <br />Lisa Roberts, 3825 Sage Trail, states that her home is within 200 feet of <br />the proposed truck stop site. She has 2 small children that she does not <br />want living within 200 feet of a business that is open 24 hours a day. <br />Her father is a truck driver as has been for over 30 years, no one needs <br />to tell her that truck drivers are good people, she knows that better than <br />most. Her concern is that truck stops typically brings in an element of <br /> <br /> <br />
