Inside Mesa

I agree with Frank Mizner and Alex Finter, Planning and Zoning Board and the City of Mesa Planners who approve Lowe’s request for a permit at Country Club and Baseline. All of the Lowe’s stores I’ve seen are beautiful, well kept, and a great place to shop. I’ve never heard anyone say a negative word about the home improvement store being in their neighborhood. I have two near me - plus a Costco, Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Pets Mart, Home Depot, Harkins Theater, Superstition Springs Shopping Center, restaurants, post office - I like the close proximity and I like my neighborhood, Superstition Springs Community.In looking at a map, along US 60 there are about seven Lowe’s stores including a brand new one at Southern and Ellsworth. A Lowe’s location at Country Club and Baseline is natural - and it’s competition for Home Depot. That’s good for you and I - business tries harder for consumers bringing better prices. Isn’t that what the market is about or have I lost something?From what I read, Lowe’s has gone beyond the extra mile to make the neighbors happy - a 155 foot buffer zone - redesign of the property placement to an L shape - plus Lowe’s seems like a pretty good neighbor to partner with.The advantage of walking to a store that has everything one could imagine in home improvement, would for me be welcomed. Let’s not forget the big picture, Lowe’s would contribute substantially toward tax revenue for Mesa. That’s not a bad thing, for Mesa it’s good and relevant.
