Petition Z-62 for Abram Millar.
Mr. Millar spoke in favor of his petition stating he was request-
ing the zoning be changed from single family to two family. He
stated he wanted to build duplexes on the property.
Mr. Tom Whitlock spoke in opposition of the request for change
and requested the Planning and Zoning commissioners to leave the
zoning as is. He presented commissioners with a petition signed
by approximately 100 area residents requesting that the change be
denied. Whitlock stated the people were very concerned and would
like the integrety of the neighborhood be left the same. He stated
that the neighborhood was basically full and he would hate to see it
changed for the benefit of one or two. He would rather see single
family homes built on the property.He stated if three duplexes
were placed on the lots that it would mean six dwellings would be
rented with the possibility of two cars to each unit making an
overcrowded situation`in the area. He stated that by doubling up
the investor gets the biggest return. He requested that P & Z
make a recommendation to council that the area remain single
family and further requested that the protest petition be submit-
ted to the city council.
Richard Yarbrough spoke in opposition of the request for change.
He stated he had invested everything he had in his home and lot
in South. The people in the area are improving their lots
and Sangeran stated he hated to see the integrety of the neighborhood
he
changed. He feels his investment would be lowered and requested
the zoning change be denied.
Edith Ballard spoke in opposition of the petition. She stated
she had faithfully and prayerfully carried the petition around
and requested commissioners consideration to leave the zoning
single family.
