written and oral objections and there were none.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, expressed his concerns about allowing this
curb cut on Ansborough Avenue as this is a highly traveled area and business curb
cuts could cause an increase in the number of accidents which occur. Mr. Dillavou
stated that he perceives this action as an unfair practice to the current businesses
that were required to change their entrances during the road reconstruction and were
required to follow the practice of allowing no curb cuts onto Ansborough Avenue.
