The shelter would not necessarily be available °^°5rnm <br />residents as it would most likely be filled with people from <br />other areas. <br />4 Investigation has shown that similar shelters are <br />qenerally full of people who have come to Minnesota <br />other States and have managed to get on our welfare sys <br />5^ pj-Qperty values of real estate near the shelter would <br />drop. <br />6. Navarre Lane would be used as an access to the <br />shelter. This would result in increased traffic through <br />auiet residential neighborhood and could cause danger and <br />harm to neighborhood residents. Also residents of the <br />neighborhood and their possessions would be exposed to <br />possible crime by the perpetrators who could be driving
