We oppose the proposed text amendment to allow a special use for a for-profit commercial business at 445 Pine Street. Permitting a for-profit commercial business to operate in a zoned residential neighborhood will drastically and irreparably change the character of the neighborhood. It will also set a dangerous precedent for future requests to locate businesses in this and other residential neighborhoods in Deerfield. The proposed use will increase traffic on an already busy residential street, cause more congestion throughout the day, and pose safety hazards to children, adults and pets. We strongly encourage the Village Board of Trustees to protect our neighborhoods by denying the proposed text amendment and special use.

I have been spending my time meeting with neighbors who are worried about the safety of our streets if this business moves in. We are preparing to present all of your signatures to the Village Board to show them that our community values our homes over commercial encroachment.

Seeing the neighborhood unite like this gives me real hope that we can keep Pine Street quiet. I never thought so many people would care enough to speak up for our homes.

Pine Street is already a disaster during school drop off. This is just asking for an accident to happen.

total nonsense. once you open the door to one business they all follow. ruins the whole point of living in a residential zone.
