4411 N. Aydelotte rezone

Her family has owned a home near the property since 1964. She argued a recorded Bison Addition covenant requires lots to stay residential and 'runs with the land,' and asked how the city can override it for one lot.

The project engineer explained the city already took about 25 feet of the lot for the widening, making it unbuildable; the plan consolidates it with Lifestyle Plaza, realigns driveways, adds a taller fence and low-profile lighting to protect neighbors.

The resident next to the proposed parking lot said her only concern is that the fence be strong enough to stop a vehicle if a driver hits the gas instead of the brake.

Her 99-year-old mother has lived on the street for decades. She pressed whether lot-by-lot consolidation could gradually turn the whole neighborhood commercial, calling it the 'slippery slope' she fears.
