My name is Charlie Mearkle, and I am the owner of 1600 Millwood Pike. When I purchased the home, I could see why the owner wanted to build a home on this piece of land. The property was everything I was looking for, and reminded me of the farm that I grow up on in Pa.
When I purchased the property I signed papers knowing that the property adjacent to my property could possibly be a residential neighborhood. I was also notified that I would possibly lose my private entrance and would have to drive through a neighborhood of residential homes to get to my home. I was fine seeing other homes going up around me, with families enjoying life living here, but never imagined that it would be rezoned for a giant industrial park.
While I am disappointed to now learn that there may be an industrial park surrounding my property, I am most upset by the idea of driving through the industrial park to get to my home and the negative impact it will have on my home life and value of my home.
I also cannot believe that building a giant industrial park is a great idea especially when there are so many empty industrial and business sites all around Winchester now.
In closing, if the Planning Commission approves this rezoning, I would kindly ask to please leave the current driveway to my home to remain and allow my property to retain some of it's value should the surrounding property be rezoned. There are other entrances off of 50 right across the road, and a substation approximately 500 yards my driveway that remain accessible. With many other roadways remaining accessible, I kindly and formally request that my driveway remain accessible to Route 50/Millwood Pike as well.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kind Regards,
Charlie Mearkle
