AUG 21.1995 BOOK 61 PvUE 846 2- On Industrial Property there was a 150 ft. frontage - thus Knight & Mathis -- who adheres to this requirement and tries to keep some landscaping. This property I believe was sold to Knight & Mathis by Mr. Stapp years ago. 3- The old Fletcher property - cleaned up many times by order -- now Bains Utilities - no frontage requirements it seems -- now restricted industrial use. What are the restrictions here? 4- The Commercial zoning at 12th and Old Dixie looks like cement city with chain - linked six-foot fences out to the frontage and no landscaping ...... This is hardly the restricted commercial of years ago. The Business (B-1 zoning)doesn't look much better. 5- Traffic between 12th St. and 8th or Glendale is intolerable. A two-lane high- way with no turning lane at 8th piles up the traffic at peek hours as far north as the Stapp property, making it impossible to get into our driveway before two or three lights at times. What would stores or offices do to increase this traffic? 6- This is to be my retirement home in a few years and do not want to be pushed out of it by commercial areas. 7- The new building set back off Old Dixie between 10th and 12th, with cement drive- way, seems to be a warehouse with huge trucking going in and out. Commercial???? For these reasons above, we are against the request for Commercial zoning and ask your deep consideration before making a decision. I know the argument given at the Zoning meeting was that "No-one would want to live residential and look at the mess across the street" --by the same token what office or store would want to either? Thanking you, We ave, Sry Sinc r y, IRENE J. MO ISON AND MAUD M..MORRISON Planner Shearer advised that it was staff's feeling that if the 4 acres were rezoned from RS -6 to C-1, it would result in a domino affect. Since single family zoning is no longer realistic for the west side of Old Dixie, instead of going commercial which would severely impact this road, staff preferred the alternative of going to multiple family to encourage residential redevelop- ment in this area. He pointed out that the rezoning of this property commercial would lower the level of service on this area of Old Dixie Highway from the current level of Service C to Service level E and the Comprehensive Plan provides that we cannot approve any development that exceeds level of Service C on an annual basis or a level of Service D during peak season. Mr. Shearer explained that the Planning g Zoning Commission recommended approval of this basically because there is industrial zoned property across the street, and they felt the commercial would be a transition. 49
