JAN 4 1984` ra0g` proposing to build in is presently full of wood and junk; he further noted that Mrs. Sanders keeps up her own home, and he was sure that she would not put anyone in the duplexes she would build who she wouldn't trust to keep up the property. Rev. Brown pointed out that Mr. Yates, who has a home in this area, is a fruit contractor, and he has tractors, trucks, ladders, etc., all piled up among the $50,000 homes. He urged the Board to allow the rezoning. .- Rev. Owen Chennault, Pastor, Church of God, 45th St. and 38th Ave., and resident of 38th'Avenue, spoke in opposition to rezoning to R-2. He expressed great concern about having transients in'an area of single family homes where people care about their property. Rev. Chennault felt those who are in favor of more duplexes are more concerned with the dollar than with the community and stated that if you looked at the rental properties of the gentleman who spoke of all the homes he owns and rents --in this general area, you would see what they fear. Elder Leroy Sanders, Pastor of the Church of God in Christ, located just a few hundred yards from the subject property, spoke in support of the rezoning requested by Mrs. Sanders, who was formerly married to his nephew, and stated that he admires Mrs. Sanders for what she is trying to do. Pastor Sanders aked the Board to have mercy on her and support her in her endeavors and begged those present not to fight among themselves, but stand behind Mrs. Sanders in her effort to provide housing for those who need it. He pointed out that if any problems should arise, we have a qualified Zoning Board and a qualified Commission to deal with them. Sherry Brown informed the Board that she lives at 4626 48th Avenue, which property is owned by Mamie B. Jackson, and noted that at the Planning & Zoning meeting, she voted against the requested rezoning and mistakenly withdrew Mrs. Jackson's name from the petition in support of the rezoning. 56 � ® r
