CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of September 12, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 14 of 25 driveways. 5. Elizabeth Busch, 180 North Sunset Drive, stated she was also a small business owner and spoke in opposition to allowing development of a large retail establishment on prime real estate at an intersection that she saw as important for the future of downtown Casselberry. She also expressed some concerns about traffic and noise pollution that would potentially be brought to the area by this type of development. 6. Pradeep Chohan, 130 State Road 436, spoke in opposition to large retail establishments coming into the area due to the detrimental effect it would have on small businesses and sole proprietorships that had already created a rapport with the local community. 7. Doug Markovitz, co-owner of Casselberry Liquor, 130 State Road 436, stated he was adamantly opposed to the City creating a new land use type that would allow large retail establishments for all the reasons he had stated in his earlier comments, most specifically the harm he felt it would cause to both existing and future small businesses in the City. 8. Brad Markovitz, co-owner of Casselberry Liquor, 130 State Road 436, also spoke in opposition to allowing large retail establishments in the City, adding that he could use his many social media contacts to initiate legal, peaceful protests should the proposed amendments be adopted and BJ's move into the City at the proposed site.
