To Mayor and Council

Hello Mayor and Council

Re: Proposed OCP Amendment 2723 and 2733 Dear Mayor & Members of City Council:

Letter to the editor:

I am writing regarding the proposal, now before City Council, to build a McDonald’s restaurant and gas station at the entrance to Kimberley in Marysville.

To Mayor and Council,

One of the reasons we moved to this town — among many — was the quaintness and size of the community. I am not opposed to development- but it needs to be the right kind of development. What are our guiding principles in making these decisions? It it exclusively for economic reasons? A restaurant gas station is not a particular creative form of development - with a McDonald’s? Certainly would not be my choice.

The community wants to know.
