Comments I have lived in this neighborhood - and by extension city - all my
life. The previous establishment at this location, "Allerdice
Rent-All" was a nuisance, albeit a very minor one; the main
reasons being early morning noise and occasional street traffic
issues. Their departure from the neighborhood, while not
necessarily desired, has been an overall positive for the
neighborhood... Which is more than I can say for just about
anything I might expect from Bonacio Construction. None of the
permitted establishments a special use permit allows for would
benefit our community in any way: there are plenty of sparsely
attended barbershops and beauty salons in this town already,
the odds of a local pharmacy or grocery being able to afford the
inflated rent the property will likely demand after the largely un-
needed renovation are quite low and a chain's presence is
unwanted, and the odds of a quality variety store opening are
equally low - the last thing we need on our block where children
play is a phony psychic, smoke shop, or any amount of other ill-
advised establishments. Nothing the location could be zoned
for under a commercial permit would bring any value
whatsoever to our community, and I politely suggest that
Bonacio take his development Hell to other overstuffed areas of
town instead, and leave our neighborhood alone to finally get
back to the true quiet it's deserved for so long.
