She also expressed her concerns of the increased <br />traffic commercial use would create and that she is very much <br />against it. <br />Chairman Callahan read into tne record a letter from Kevin <br />and Mona Hawkinson, 1125 North Wi Ilow Drive, objecting to any <br />type of commercial use in this area. <br />Jim & Bernie Cox, 1120 N.
