Drawer 1547 Grapevine, Texas 76051 Re: Public hearing for Zoning Application Z81-29 �""� Dear Ms. Armstrong: � �::� I represent Mattie L. Allen, who resides at 4338 Normandy Avenue in Dallas and is the owner of approximately 135 acres on Highway 157 between Glade Road and Hughes Road in the City of Grapevine. Your communication to her dated May 8 , 1981 gives notice of the application for a change in the zoning of a tract on Hughes Road immediately to the north of and adjoining Mrs. Allen' s property, the request being for a change in zoning from Single Family Dwelling to a Specific Use Permit for the construction and operation of a kennel service. I assume that "ken- nel service" means the boarding and caring for dogs , cats and various other animals , all of which would constitute a nuisance in the neighborhood and particularly a depreciation in value of my client' s property. �'� Mrs. Allen is strenuously opposed to the change in zoning. ,�� Yeurs very truly, Frank M.
