Chairperson Russell Madden declared Public Hearing opened.
Eric Stauch addressed opposition with concern that smaller houses would decrease
property values. He was concerned as to whether these homes would be used as rental
property.
City Administrator John Hamilton advised that the City can make no judgement as to
whether the homes will be used as rental property.
Mr. John Springer, representing Burl Bourland, presented the floor plans on Lot 29B. Mr.
Springer indicated this home would contain 1100 square feet with 1 1/2 bath, a single car
garage and brick. This type of home would upgrade the neighborhood rather than
downgrade. This home will cost $62,100.00. Mr. Springer indicated that he feels the
people in Sanger leave an impression that they do not want families living here that are
not affluent enough to afford a bigger home.
Mr. Springer stated this home will be built for a retired lady and this type home is
affordable to her needs.
William Smith spoke in opposition due to the lot size and the street being so narrow.
Gregg Stauch ( owner of the Cole residence) also spoke in opposition indicating the same
issues Mr. William Smith had addressed.
Discussion followed.

Bolivar Street.
Chairperson Russell Madden declared Public Hearing opened.
Stacy Burkeholder representing his grandmother spoke against this issue. He stated he
preferred a single-family home be built in that location because he felt that a two family
duplex would definitely affect the area. He also indicated there is a drainage problem in
that area and he felt this would create problems for the City.

from the uniqueness of Bolivar Street. It would also lower the property value.
