To the Editor:

I would like to go on record in opposition to permit LA2031-0032. Paying for parking at the marina will create undue hardships to thousands of low income and elderly people and will discourage young families who now benefit from a place of beauty and freedom at the waterfront.

Paying for parking will bring ruin to the Farmer's Market just now when it has really caught on.

How can paying for parking at the marina possibly benefit Des Moines at the very time our community needs all the good will it can get?

I do not believe this is a well thought out decision. Please reconsider.

Additionally, you have insulted all to whom you sent a letter telling them to read the documents on the website. On your site I was given the royal runaround and never did find the documents. It makes me wonder....
