31 LAW OFFICES OF 9uJ. ATTORNEYS & COUNSELORS AT LAW 70 WEST MADISON SUITE 1450 ~~60602 TELEPHONE (312) FACSIMILE (312) March 5, 2018 RE: letter in opposition to the construction of the storage unit proposed at 913 East Holt Street and the proposed Zoning amendment To Whom It May Concern: My Name is Vickie L. Pasley. I have lived on Holt Street since birth. Currently, I am part owner of 909 East Holt Street, (which was one of the first homes built on Holt Street) and the full owner of 404 East Bass Street. The Holt Street property abuts the subject property where the proposed storage unit is to be built. 404 East Bass Street is directly across the street from the subject property. It distresses me, that an individual not from our community and who would have never entered our community to purchase property as recently as five years ago, now desires to erect a storage unit that will decimate the peace, safety and tranquility that has been fervently maintained on a street filled with legacy and historical prominence. For years, Holt Street and the surrounding area, has been one of the steadfast middle class streets for the African American community in Mexico. Historically, property owners invested in this area both financially and socially. Families were raised and elders have enjoyed retirement in this neighborhood. Homes and properties are and continue to be maintained. Taxes are and continue to be paid. Individuals sacrificed and continue to sacrifice to promote the family environment of the area. Despite the destruction of the street due to the imposition of the Soybean Mill's huge 18 wheeler trucks impacting the peace and stability of Holt street, (and at many times inconveniencing the residents by blocking driveways and the roadway), the long-term property owners of Holt Street still maintain their homes and strive to keep the neighborhood orderly and maintained. There is an expectation of privacy and safety that envelopes this area, that is aggressively protected. The recent influx of drug activity coming from one property on Holt Street (from yet another individual not respectful of the area), has been fought diligently and aggressive attempts continue to eradicate this negative influence. With the increased mobility of individuals in Mexico who now live in different areas, (which did not exist during most ofmy residence in Mexico) Holt Street has become a more integrated street and the neighborhood as a whole has become more integrated. Nevertheless, the premise of keeping the neighborhood safe and secure is still paramount among the vast majority of the residents in this area. As such, there is an inherent right

32 Page 2 of 2, objection to zoning change of each long term property owner and resident to have this safety and security maintained and protected. To erect a storage unit, where there are transient and unknown individuals coming into the neighborhood at all hours of day and night, greatly impacts the safety and security of Holt Street and the surrounding areas. Additionally, the erection of such a commercial edifice, increases the influx of the negative drug and criminal activity that is diligently fought against in the Holt Street area. These storage units promote absolutely no benefit to any of the long-time property owners that reside on Holt Street and the surrounding areas. The erection of these storage units not only instantly devalues the properties I own, but also impacts the ability to encourage individuals to live in the properties that espouse the precepts of safety and upgrading of the neighborhood. The only person to benefit from this storage unit is the new owner, who certainly has other options in commercial areas of Mexico to promote this venture. Holt Street and the surrounding area is a NEIGHBORHOOD; not a commercial area. Despite the inconvenience and disturbance imposed by the Soybean Mill in the area, the property owners protect and maintain this NEIGHBORHOOD. Storage units do not promote and encourage the upgrade and protection of a neighborhood. Instead. there is an instant depreciation of property, safety, and community values that accompany such a business. Therefore, I adamantly oppose the construction of the proposed storage unit at 713 East Holt Street and will take any and all means to prevent this construction and venture. Further, I vehemently oppose any change to the existing zoning of the area and will take the necessary means to prevent this change. At some point, the heritage of a neighborhood as rich as that in the Holt Street area must be maintained. I will earnestly and diligently fight to make sure that this heritage is honored. Should you need to hear from me personally, I can be contacted at the above-indicated address and telephone number; alternatively, I can testify personally if necessary. Please advise which o tion is preferred and I can arrange my litigation schedule accordingly. VLP: sj

34 ARTICLE XI. ADDITIONAL USE REGULATIONS Section Additional buildings and uses authorized upon permit obtained, generally. In addition to the buildings and uses of buildings and land authorized elsewhere in this chapter, the following building and uses shall be permitted in the various districts pursuant to permit first obtained from the city council in conformity with sections through : (14) Commercial storage units. Section of the City of Mexico code states each such application by the City is reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission for investigation and reports as to the effect such building or use upon traffic and fire hazards, the character of the neighborhood and the general welfare of the community. A report and recommendation shall be filed with City Council.

Notices were sent to thirteen (13) surrounding property owners within 185 of the requested additional use permit. Staff received one telephone call, one office visit and seven (7) petitions all in opposition of the request.

36 Trenton & Jordan Vaughn Owners of Jet Up LLC. 713 Anaconda Ct., Columbia, Mo MARCH 20, 2018 Mexico City Council c/o Rita Jackson 300 N. Coal St., Mexico, Mo Dear City Council Members, I would like to be heard at the April 9th Mexico City Council meeting on my request to construct storage units at 913 E. Holt St. (legal description: SURVEY 51 (80 X 167) PT Sl/2 LOT 3, DESC BEG 350' E OF SW COR SURVEY 51, E 80', N 167', W 80', S 167' TO POB). This property is currently zoned as C2 commercial and contains an abandoned home. This requested additional use permit hearing is made in accordance with Mexico City Ordinance Sec On February 15, 2018, I submitted a request to build storage units on our lot. That request was forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Committee meeting on March 6th and, based upon community opposition, our request was denied. Because my wife and I are property owners on Holt Street, as well, we only aim to better the community, not devalue it (as evidenced, in part, by my signature on a City requested Holt Street easement within 24 hours of my acquisition of title to 913 E. Holt St.). We firmly believe that if you fully examine our plans to erect 10 small storage at the back of the property, you will agree that replacing an abandoned house with a clean, well-maintained business will do just that: better the community. We recognize the criteria the City Council will be reviewing in Mexico City Ordinance Sec (see appendix A), and know that our plan will pass each issue when fully vetted: (1) Substantially increase traffic hazards or congestion a. Traffic will be minimally impacted, if at all. We are planning to place 10 units toward the back of our property. Storage units are not visited on a daily basis by occupants. At the very nature of the business, items are placed in storage for safe-keeping, to be left for a significant duration of time. i. In comparison, in accordance with City Code (Appendix B), we are allowed to erect an apartment, hotel, veterinary clinic, or medical clinic without an additional use permit from the City. Each of these would significantly increase traffic in the area at a rate much higher than storage units. In fact, even a rental home, with tenants coming and going on a daily basis would be more traffic than 10 small storage units. ii. We will have space for parking within our lot. Therefore, there should be no on-street parking of storage unit renters.

37 (2) Substantially increase fire hazards a. There will be no increase in fire hazard. The storage unite; will be metal buildings set on a paved lot. There will be no electricity available to the individual units. (3) Adversely affect the character of the neighborhood a. Concern expressed by neighbors at the Planning and Zoning hearing is that the area is primarily residential. However, the majority of lots directly surrounding our property at 913 E. Holt St. are currently either vacant, abandoned, or occupied by a commercial business, not residential. i. Within the same block of Holt Street, there are two residences ( one of which is a rental), two businesses (Sonic Drive-In and Pure Skin & Wellness Spa), and five vacant lots. ii. iii. Across Green Blvd., there is a hotel (Budget Inn). Across Holt St., there are five houses (two of which directly across the street are abandoned) and one vacant lot. b. Storage units will not lower the property value. The current house on 913 E. Holt St. is dilapidated and abandoned. Tearing down this house and erecting new, clean storage units only increases the property value. Having property located next to an abandoned house is in no way good for your own property value or resale value. c. The storage units will have 8' privacy fences on each side, reducing noise and visibility of the units for neighbors. ( 4) Adversely affect the general welfare of the community a. Concern from those present at the Planning and Zoning hearing was that storage units bring unknown individuals and dangers into the area, thereby decreasing safety. However, our property will be safe; the crime referred to by neighbors has not proven to be true for storage units. i. Storage units bring rental tenants, not unknown, dangerous people. There is no factual basis for the complaints that 10 storage units will bring transient individuals, as stated in one opposition letter mentioned below. We fully vet our current rental house tenants and will fully vet and monitor renters of this storage facility. It is, in fact, a disservice to both ourselves and the community to have drugs or any illegal activity in our storage units, and we will therefore, diligently avoid this. ii. iii. Storage units have not proven to increase crime. Other storage units currently in place in Mexico have not brought the crime and unrest to surrounding neighborhoods discussed in the opposition letters. In fact, other storage units in Mexico remain peaceful, safe, and well-kept, as will ours. We will take safety and security measures, both for the protection of the community, as well as the protection of our property. We will install 8' privacy fences. We will place security cameras that will be monitored from an app on our phones. If any suspicious activity is taking place at any time, the Mexico police will be notified immediately. This is more protection than would be in place for a rental home. Page 2

38 (5) Overtax public utilities a. Overtaxing public utilities does not apply in this case; the storage units will have minimal utilities, paid for privately. Although not required by ordinance, before the Planning and Zoning Committee meeting, the City sent out letters to the property owners within 185' of my property at 913 E. Holt St. At the Planning and Zoning Committee hearing, two parties from the surrounding area (one of which lives outside the 185' radius) attended in opposition. Less than four hours before the Planning and Zoning Committee meeting on March 6th, the City received several opposition letters. Ten such letters were received by the city, representing seven different properties within 185'. Nine of the letters were a "stock" form that one person created, with signatures from others, and the other opposition letter claims multiple falsities, the most concerning of which suggests we are proposing a zoning change or amendment, which is not even the issue at bar. Again, my wife and I fully believe that when the City Council reviews the sole issue at hand - our request for an additional use permit - against the criteria of Mexico City Ordinance Sec , the City Council will agree the storage units are an improvement to the lot and the surrounding area. I have been working with other small business owners in Mexico to design the storage units and would like the opportunity to submit plans to the City inspector for official stamping. Additionally, I have been working with the City to have the current home on the property demolished; I would like to get started on the storage unit construction as soon as possible to improve this lot that is currently an unsafe eyesore. If there are any questions or concerns that I can address before the hearing, please give me a call. Sincerely, Trenton Vaughn OWNER, JET UP, LLC Page 3
