Mr. White stated that he has five lots, but reiterated that he does not want to put residential on U.S.1, which would be dangerous for children. He felt U.S.1 should be commercial. Chairman Scurlock explained that the Commission is trying to avoid strip commercial, and Commissioner Bird emphasized that in our county we have about 26 miles of U.S.1 frontage and we are not just picking on Mr. White. At one time this was all commercial, but this Commission, as well as previous Commissions, felt it is better planning to cluster the zoning. Unfortunately Mr. White's property falls in between where some of these clusters are. Mary Jean Todd, Church Street, Wabasso, informed the Board that she owns three lots on 50th Avenue that will be changed to limited commercial. She stated that they own a home there which is ideal for a nursing home and have a couple who are going to start with a day care center for the elderly there and eventually work into a nursing home situation. Half of their property is light commercial, and the back half is single family dwelling, and Mrs. Todd wished to know when staff is going to start studying the plans for Wabasso. Planner Shearer advised that they are doing the study on Roseland now and starting Gifford, and Wabasso will be next. Mrs. Todd inquired if her property will go commercial or whether she should ask for a variance, and Planner Shearer stated that she couldn't get a variance; however, in the interim, she could petition for a rezoning. This is a situation where for years the properties to the west have been zoned single family and those to the east commercial. In further discussion, it was noted that Mrs. Todd should either submit a rezoning request or wait until we get the small area plan completed. Planner Shearer advised that staff hopes to have all the small area plans completed by October of this year. 11 JAN 14 1986 Boor, 63 Fa,cE 236 L-7 _r_
