Cumberland Farms store causing problems in the neighborhood, <br />it is ridiculous to think of trying to keep the area <br />residential. Mr. Prange felt that for staff to blatantly <br />override the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendations <br />is both capricious and without merit. <br />William Rice, long time resident of the area, agreed <br />whole heartedly with Mr. Prange and hoped the Board could <br />see the need for this property to be designated as <br />commercial. <br />Frank Wilmoth, 2726 6th Place, owner of one acre of <br />property that immediately abuts the Casons property, spoke <br />in favor of that area being designated commercial. He felt <br />the tremendous sales activities at the Cumberland Store <br />indicate the very great need for more commercial property <br />out that way. <br />Director Keating recalled that several months ago the <br />Commission directed staff to bring their own professional <br />opinion to this body regardless of the decision of the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission, and noted that is what staff <br />is attempting to do here. Staff has looked at the <br />situation, done their analysis, and came up with the <br />recommendation for denial based on their analysis. <br />Commissioner Lyons instructed staff to continue in the <br />same manner as the Board appreciated their professional <br />advice. <br />Gene Wilmoth, resident of 440 28th Court SW and owner <br />of business property in the area, also agreed with the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission that the area should be <br />Commercial. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board <br />unanimously (4-0) closed the Public Hearing. <br />39 <br />MAY 1954 . <br />BOOK 56 PAGE 835 <br />
