In Regard To Question 11
JUSTIFICATION
1.
This site is to be used as a small retail Hardware & Lumber business.
2.
This area which is located in the south-east portion of Salina is in the
general location depicted on the "701" study as a general area to be used
for business. It is estimated that approximately 48% of the growth of Salina
will be in the east and south-east portion of Salina in the next twenty years.
It's location is on a main thoroughfare and at the present time this sales
office would service a radius of approximately one mile, which does not
presently have any local .ales office. The important factor pointing to this
location, I believe, is the fact that Ohio is a ~ain thoroughfare, and that
the majority ~f the future growth of Salina will be in this general area.
3.
I will build a new structure, please see plans attached, it will be neat
orderly and it will be an asset to the comMunity.
4.
Yes, I feel the main factor involved is the need for this type of establish-
ment in this area. With this in mind, I have been looking a location in this
area that is commensunate to my financial abilities. This location being
adjacent to ground zoned for business, suited these requirements.
5.
Having been in close connection with this business all fiY life, I feel the
business will be a permanent asset to the community. If for any reason this
is not 50, the building will be designed in such a way that various other
types of businesses could use the structure with no detriment to them or the
community.
6.
I believe a slight increase in traffic is conceivable; but, Ohio being a main
thoroughfare and the adjoining property already zoned for business, this
establishment will not be detrimental to the neighborhood or the community.
7.
We i~tend to build a store that will be generally commensunate with the
neig~borhood, and we do not feel that it will in an way be objectionable to
any of the neighbors as noticed by the signed petition.
3.
I do not feel that the surrounding property values will be either increased
or decreased.
9.
At the present time, this area is not served by a similar type zone, therefore,
I feel that because of the ~roximity of potential commercial development that
it will have no effect on the overaìl zoning plan.
10.
There are no restrictive covenants which will prohibit co~ercial use.
11.
In relation to present and future major traffic thoroughfares, there h~s been
an additional ten feet included in the set back along Ohio street in this
area in case the city at any point wanted to widen the street. Thus, if at
any time it is necessary because of increased traffic, the right-of-way is
available to make the street wider.

12.
As evidenced by the plot plan, you will see that thereis more than adequate
parking space available.
13.
At this time I can only give an estimate; but, generally speaking, the
boundry of the area to be served would be approximately two miles west and
two miles north. Basing my opinion on the fact that there are no other
establishments of this kind within this area. However, we will be of service
to the entire community.
14.
I do not feel this establishment will be detrimental to the health, safety,
and morals of the neighborhood. The aforementioned area to be served does
need a bu'iiness of this type. Therefore, I do feel the convenience of our
business will enhance the general welfare of th~ neighborhood.
15.
Please find preliminary plans and plot plan of the area as it is now. I
certainly did not buy this land for speculation; rather, I intend to supply
the aforementioned need to the community.
I would like to emphasize this point. I do not intend to have an unsightly,
conventional hardware and lumber company; but I plan to have a single structure
which will inclose all my wares and business activities.
