We the undersigned residents of Sterchi Hills/Sterchi Village oppose rezoning property on the corner of Dry Gap Pike and Fountain City RD from Planned Residential to Commercial, which is being sought to build a Dollar General Store in that location.

We ask the Planning Committee to reject Dollar General's proposal. There are several reason why this rezoning is bad for our community, including increased traffic on narrow roads that are not designed for commercial use, increased crime, decrease in property values, the addition of sidewalks along Dante and Fountain City rd and an overall reduction in the peaceful beauty of our neighborhood. The proposed Dollar General would be right in the middle of a residential area with a beautiful park nearby, having commercial properties in this area is not something we want, especially when there are two other dollar general stores within a few minutes drive of the proposed location.
