turn in front of the people coming off,just to get off the ramp faster. I hope you make the right decision and just make our community our community again. Devon Vita, 51432 Righter Lane, South Bend, IN, asked why the property in question could not just be kept as farmland. Like the others, Mr. Vita pointed out the terrible traffic and how unsafe the roads are. He urged the Council to take this project elsewhere, like Nimtz Parkway where he said it belonged in the first place. Jeff Nicholas, 23821 Adams Road, South Bend, IN, stated that he has the property directly to the east of the proposed project. Mr. Nicholas stated that there was a time when the neighborhood was peaceful and pleasant,but no longer. He stated that he has two (2) cows and that he just bought ten(10)more, but he warned that he would be the first taxpayer to leave if the proposed project goes forward. He stated, They're putting a building onto me, I'm not putting agriculture onto them. We were the same, and now we're not. Mr. Nicholas explained that the fifty(50) feet of clearance was not enough. He stated, Their fifty (50) foot is from here to the hallway. You tell me how you're going to pass a thousand (1,000) vehicles,trucks, and cars, twenty-four(24) hours a day, in and out of that driveway passed my house, and you could live in it. You can't. There's no way. I don't know of a road like that that is within fifty(50) feet of somebody's bedroom. Mr.Nicholas insisted that this traffic problem would not be easily solved. He stated, Unless you get a traffic system out there for these people, it ain't going to work.
