Gentl cx-r,en: lVe, the undersigned, being property owners in the same ry neighborhood, do hereby protest the erection of the General 30i x 75, (more os� loss proposed greenhouse on the rear of the property known as 1806 Sco ttvi ew Drive Riverside Drive) in Chesterfie(someti: es referred to a 1910 ld County. This protest is made on the grounds that the erection of such a structure of these dimensions is out of proportion insofar as outbuildings for this classification of residential areas go. It is pointed out that this structure would cover approximately 2250 sq. ft. of sand, whereas the residence now located on this parcel of property covers approximately 'IA60 sq. ft. of land area. We also desire to make it known that we have no objection to the erection of a greenhouse on the above -mentioned property if same is held to a reasonable size, which in our opinion should not exceed the dimensions of i.zhat is colunonly called a two -car garage. It is felt that if this structure is erected as proposed th,_t it V,Till bring about an iinmediate reduction in property values through- out this neighborhood. 7nis conclusion has been arrived at after discussions s^.zth various contractors, builders, real tors, end mort- g«gees. If the Board of supervisors so desires, we shall be pleased to furnish the navies, addresses, and stata-cents of the above -mentioned. It is further felt that if the erection of this structure is per- nitted it may ultimately result in the breaking- n of as we know them, throughout the entire area. ThaslJcould ronly lbrings� on a &eneral decline in property values. It is the request of the undersigned that this objection, as well as any other objections which may have been made whether written or verbal, be called to the attention 6f the party or parties who are seeking permission to erect this structure. It is further requested that this written objection be incorporated in its entirety into the minutes of this meeting of the Board of �upervi.sors. ,, 4L llMu&% 4R .Z tY. 1%✓ ;%d AN ORDINANCE to regulate the transportation, manufacture, posses: ion, storage, use, sale, offer for sale or exposure for sale of any fireworks and to repeal inconsistent ordinances in Chester- field County, Virginia.
