Irvine < Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 10:35 PM To: Hough, Ralph; Crawford, John; Irwin, Doug; aleighPoro-medonate.ca Cc: Bill Irvine Subject: 2015-ZBA-07- Fairgreen Sod Farms To All Addressed to This Email: We are opposed to the expansion regarding the above mentioned application based on the fact that we are unable to get to the Township Office due to the hours of operation. The Township Offices are open from 8:30 — 4:30 p.m. We have left or are getting ready for work prior to 8:30 a.m. and return to our home later than 4:30 p.m. The Township Offices are opened later than we leave for work and closed earlier than we return from work. You leave us no choice. The documents have not been made public via the Township Website for review during our non -working hours. Based on the information we have been able to access with respect to this application, there are other long time vendors in the area who are most efficient and able to meet the needs. Having used these vendors in the past, we will continue to do so to further enhance our property. There is no need for expansion of this facility —the vendors already exist in this and the surrounding areas and we would like them to continue their operations without additional competition. The focus in our household is on preserving our farmland — we like to eat to stay healthy, we trust you would do the same. While it is nice to buy green sod and the appropriate aggregates for landscaping, we do not want to see competition for our local vendors who we have sent our business to —there has never been an issue and they are ready and willing to assist our needs with landscaping and improving our property. We would like to suggest that you consider support for our local existing vendors. With respect to the property, we will clearly state that the current zoning be allowed to remain in effect without allowances to expand and provide aggregates. The additional surrounding areas should remain zoned as. Agricultural. Please send any further information regarding decisions made to this application to: in writing: Mr. and Mrs. William W.
