Hi Jackson speaks up and says it is unfair to put such a small home next to the current
homes because the values will drop. Also the quality of the people that come into these
homes are not good. Smaller homes will ruin the value of the other homes.
Montoya responds to Mr. Jackson. What you are saying is “We don’t want your kind
here.”
Mr. Jackson states that is not what he said or meant.
Montoya explains that it should bring up the value of the homes not down because they
build great homes.
Commissioner Fuller asks “Why do you need the setback change because the house
should fit?”
Montoya answer is the need a cushion on the set back.
