the'property are sufficiently unique to differentiate it. _ <br />from other properties and justify a commercial designation. <br />The applicant, Mrs. Eddy, of 275 Date Palm Road, <br />informed the Board that she has owned the subject property <br />since 1955, and planned to build a center there. The <br />property is located on a corner with Skatetown across the <br />street and an old grocery store, a filling station, and <br />other commercial enterprises in the vicinity; it is a busy <br />spot. Mrs. Eddy did not believe anyone would want to live <br />on a state highway and, therefore, could not understand why <br />it is desired to change this to residential, which she felt <br />is very unfair after she has been paying taxes on this <br />property as commercial for many years. Mrs. Eddy stated <br />that she has had a lot of calls from her neighbors who also <br />think it is very unfair. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. There were none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Lyons commented that this property is a <br />borderline issue and not very clean cut, and he wondered if <br />the fact that the drainage canal seems to separate those <br />neighborhoods as far as traffic is concerned might not have <br />some bearing on whether this location in itself is a little <br />different than some others we are looking at. <br />Chief Planner Shearer agreed that property north of the <br />canal area is predominantly single family and south of the <br />canal there has been less interest in residential construc- <br />tion; also the area on the west side of 27th Avenue is <br />predominantly commercial, but he did not feel that would be <br />enough to justify designating this property commercial. <br />27 <br />JUN 694 r;` mcrof <br />
