Hello I am writing to you to implore you to have the foresight to stop the continuous destruction of small businesses that bring
the unique small-town feel to Menlo park. Koma Sushi which we love and patronize often is under the scrutiny of being leveled for
3 story office buildings with medical offices. I don't want to sit in any more traffic that I already do, and this is before the
hundreds of units coming on line further north on El Camino. Doctor's offices run 15 minute visits, the cars will be running in
and out of the 91 spaces all day long!I know buildings = revenue = high Menlo Park government and union salaries, but as a tax
payer I am sure I am speaking for many other tax payers- the building boom is getting out of hand. This is killing the small
businesses who have invested their lives into their businesses, they count more than a developer who will pack his bags and drive
to the next town once he's done with this building. It is stripping the character of Menlo Park. They count also. Please speak
with these business owners, I do and they are helpless to the big developers.
