To the Laurel City Council. I am signing below to affirm my Opposition to the proposed multi -family
development at 416 Maple Avenue/First St. This is a single family home neighborhood and should
remain zoned as such, it cannot support parking, traffic, sewer, etc for the proposed four or eight plex.
It isn't a fit. A duplex would be the maximum.
Thank you.
