F11- <br />J AN <br />4 194 <br />1 <br />both representatives of the Gifford area, <br />stressed <br />that it <br />is time to quit thinking about Gifford as being different <br />and to make the same rules throughout the community so it <br />can be upgraded. Chairman Scurlock concurred that we have <br />to stop making a differentiation and adopt good planning <br />procedures but believed we have been trying to do this for a <br />number of years. <br />Commissioner Lyons agreed and pointed out that it will <br />take a long time to make up for the past helter-skelter <br />growth. <br />Mildred Sherman spoke in support of Mrs. Sanders, <br />noting that many times two"or three families are forced to <br />r <br />live together because'of the lack of adequate housing. <br />Rev. David'Shone also favored the proposed rezoning. <br />Betty Champion, 4595 38th Ave., spoke of her husband's <br />efforts to keep their property up and emphasized that they <br />would like to.see the area kept a decent, quiet area as it <br />is now. They want to see single family homes and not <br />duplexes. <br />No one further wished to be heard, and Property. <br />Appraiser Nolte asked to be allowed to make a closing <br />comment on behalf.of Mrs. Sander. He emphasized that the <br />simple fact is that duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are <br />already in this area; the proposal is in conformity with the <br />Master Plan; and the area needs economic activity, which <br />Mrs. Sanders is trying to provide. Mr. Nolte, therefore, <br />requested that the Board approve the proposed rezoning. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />Discussion ensued as to the fact that this area was <br />designated MXD, which is the most permissive land use in the <br />
