Angela Smith <br /> From: Lidinsky, April <alidinsk @iusb.edu> <br /> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2018 4A8 PM <br /> To: Angela Smith <br /> Subject: Rezoning petition: For consideration on Feb. 20 and Feb 26. <br /> Dear Angela -- Could you please share this with the Area Plan Commission and the Common Council? <br /> Many thanks -- April <br /> ------------------------------------------------- <br /> February 16, 2018 <br /> Regarding: Rezoning Petition for Lincoln Way West <br /> Dear Members of the Area Plan Commission: <br /> I write with concern about the requested rezoning of the property at 3527 Lincoln Way West, a property that has <br /> long been a quiet residential home. The request to rezone this for a business,directly next to Whole Woman's <br /> Health Alliance, is not an example of good development in our community. <br /> Whole Woman's Health Alliance, next door, selected a longtime medical building in order to operate a health <br /> care facility that will offer privacy for women who have been seeking reproductive care not available in our <br /> community for several years. If the residential property next door is rezoned, in order for the private residence <br /> to be removed and a Women's Care Center to be built there, there will be conflict that is bad for the <br /> neighborhood, and bad for further development along Lincoln Way West, if and when that development is <br /> desired. <br /> We know from the history of real-estate conflict in the Ironwood Circle that building Women's Care Centers <br /> and a chapel directly next to the Women's Pavilion enabled protesters to harass patients for years. Police calls <br /> and disturbances resulted. Enabling the repeating of this pattern on Lincoln Way West will result once again in <br /> police calls, noise, nuisance and disturbances that will have a financial and emotional cost for neighbors and <br /> patients. This is not good development. <br /> 1 <br />
