It is a good place to live and raise a family. Our elected and appointed officials have always indicated an interest in what was best for our community. The decision now before you concerning the use of the peripheral area of our city is of vital interest to all citizens and Ism sure you share this concern. I know that some of the area .involved in the study is not satisfactory for individual houses but also I do not believe it should be used for high rise apartments, office buildings or other. business purposes. It appears that the townhouses on Bissonnet are attractive and serve to maintain the community character. It also appears that this type of structure would be the answer for other fringe areas. The rezoning of the peripheral area for business or high rise apartments would raise the question of the adequacy of our community services such as police and fire protection, water supply and sewage disposal. I ask you to give this issue yoir most thoughtful consideration. Yours very truly, /s/ J. J. Williams J. J. Williams 3741 Nottingham
