Has no thought been give to the residents that live in this area?

Increased car and pedestrian traffic, decreased home values-will they be getting thier new real estate taxes reduced? This surely devalues their property. You want to place an entitiy that encompases an entire shopping plaza on buttonwoods ave and spills over to space across the street to a school building, I do not see how it is a feasable plan. There is a lack of parking at the proprery as well, will the playing field be paved over?

While the revenue might be nice for the city it once again is at the expense of the residents in the community many of whom likely do not want this in their neighborhood, literally outside their front door for at least 20 home owners that encircle the property and all those on the surrounding streets that already see far too much cut through traffic. Something like this is far better suited for a property that stands alone away from a residential neighborhood. I see Aldrich as being far better suited for something like this, it has a larger buffer area and residents only on one side of the property, imapacting fewer homeowners. On a main road directly across from Walmart and a bus stop. Or perhaps the City Annex that has been abandoned and literally has no use in its condition or location. There are countless other properties that could impact fewer residents.
