The attached memorandum, originating from former Bridgeport City Manager Harold E. Weller, serves as a significant complement to the June 6, 1996 Stop Letter and July 1, 1996 Go Meeting, containing both descriptive and now prophetic warnings. Weller cautioned about the "encroachment of business activity" and its potential to "radically disturb current boundaries," suggesting that once those boundaries were compromised, controlling encroachment would become nearly impossible, resulting in a "cancerous effect" on the community.

He highlighted concerns such as "Encroachment of business activity"..."Radically Disturb Current Boundaries"..."Once Boundaries Are Pierced Encroachment Will Be Nearly Impossible To Control."... ".. A Cancerous Effect ...." "Suburbia - Rapidly Decreasing Property Values"... "Deterioration of our Central Neighborhoods"... "Residential Communities Will Begin to Crumble"...." Should Not Consider Zoning Actions At The Whim Of Any Individual.."

 Notably, this memorandum underscores a time when officials were held accountable for their actions, a stark contrast to today's environment where deviating from managing attorneys' directives could lead to dismissal and potential blacklisting, rendering such warnings less likely to be recorded or heeded.
