Some streets and courts- would soon look like house car .e. and house trailer sales lots and boat yards . Dublin property values would fall. Please do not approve this ordinance . I urge you to approve and enforce an ordnce allowing storage in rear yards and screened side yards only. Let' s get these eyesores out of sight.
