Name: Sharon Olson on 2013 -11 -23 13:13:42
Comments: We love the rural feel of our neighborhood. The wooded area in question
needs to remain. Spend funds thinking out of the box for a new solution rather than
same old.

Comments: I oppose this expansion as it would diminish the quaintness of the cemetery
and the privacy of the surrounding neighborhoods.

19. Name: Greg Sorensen on 2013 -11 -24 15:54:12
Comments: The city shouldn't be involved in any attempt at a revenue based business.
More grave sites will increase the cost of long -term maintenance. What makes it quaint is
the natural setting. By destroying the natural setting you ruining the very reason why so
many who were buried there chose it to begin with.

Comments: I oppose this proposal!
21. Name: Julie Sorensen on 2013 -11 -24 15:58:08
Comments: I view the Pioneer Cemetery as a historical city park. I don't believe it should
be expanded. Historic sites are meant to be maintained in their original design.
22. Name: Blake Sorensen on 2013 -11 -24 16:00:33
Comments: The cemetery was granted to the city to be maintained, not to be expanded.
23. Name: Jessica Sorensen on 2013 -11 -24 16:04:18
Comments: If the city believes it is their responsibilty to provide space for people who
wish to be buried, then they should look at other property sized appropriately enough to
handle an even larger set so that neighboring residents aren't negatively impacted.
24. Name: Nicholas Sorensen on 2013 -11 -24 16:06:03
Comments: Adding 324 sites doesn't really address the problem. If anything is done, it
should be to plot a new cemetery that can handle thousands.

Comments: I oppose this proposal as it negatively affects an historic site. It also benefits
very few residents while negatively impacting many neighborhoods.

Comments: I would'nt want to visit someone at a graveyard in someone's back yard,
where they are mowing a lawn. Itjust seems wrong. I dont like it!

42. Name: Chuck Sohn on 2013 -11 -25 22:15:01
Comments: We moved in on Lukewood Drive across from the cemetery. Cars park in
front of our house due to the lack of parking for cemetery access. I am against the
expansion of the cemetery due to the lack of parking, removal of trees and barriers that
block my view of the cemetery from my front yard. My fear is that the expansion of this
cemetery will turn it from a quaint, historical landmark into an eyesore. Thank you.
43. Name: Katie Hodges on 2013 -11 -25 22:31:05
Comments: I vote AGAINST the cemetery expansion. We like the quaint look of the
cemetery as it is now.
