Subject: Sojak Car Lot, comments regarding P� cod i Z 73 o j y4 mac
The Sojak Car Lot project abuts our property to the north along Morris Rd SE. As proposed
that project will have two entrances along Morris Rd.
We object to entrances along Morris Rd and request that the main entrance be on the north
edge of the property along Route 507 where a drive is already in place along that Route. See
the =symbol on the map on the next page for the location of that proposed main entrance.
The reasons for this objection is that Morris Rd in that area is only one lane wide; when school
buses pick up children along that section of Morris Rd they turn around at the small turn area
at the end of the one lane road; and there is already a business with access only from that one
lane road.
Traffic on the main part of Morris Rd routinely backs up to the Bald Hills Rd all the way from
beyond the bottom of the map on the next page due to school and church school traffic. Also,
although the speed limit in that area is 25 mph, traffic going south is usually moving pretty
fast and additional traffic generated by having Sojak's main entrances along the single lane
portion of Morris Rd would exacerbate the problem.
While we do not object to the car lot in that location, we do request that the main traffic into
and out of the car lot enter and leave from Route 507 and not from the single lane portion of
Morris Rd.
Thank your for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely
� Sa�
