Patch Letter: Keep Starbucks Traffic out of Montrose
Sparr Heights resident Melanie McKinnell wants to keep the charm of Montrose without the hustle and bustle that a Starbucks could bring.
The last thing Montrose needs is more cars driving the streets and trying to park. The charm of Montrose is its Mom and Pop atmosphere and having everyone walk the streets with the kids and pets.
A Starbucks would add yet more cars to an already congested location. And besides, we already have a . A Starbucks across the street from a Coffee Bean is overkill, especially when there is a Starbucks less than a quarter mile away. T
he city has reasons for their parking requirement. A variance would be a slap in the face to the very regulation that is meant to protect communities from this very thing. I for one will be protesting the addition of a Starbucks in Montrose and hope the city will deny the requested variance.
