I felt that it was not immediately otl o bi g € the area saw that It did not distract from or negatively effect the surrounding aesthetics. New construction in a 20 year old neighborhood not only enhances the existing area but helps increase property values throughout the Hate Acres developme nt Other options could cause negative results fbr the neighborhood. Respectfully, Joe Owens
