F � B <br />19 <br />1986 <br />BOOK 63 P,gC,E <br />677 <br />Scurlock asked,how <br />many of <br />their property would be more valuable <br />if it was rezoned to <br />commercial. Several people had told him this morning that they <br />want their names taken off that petition. His survey shows they <br />don't want to <br />move, they want it <br />to stay <br />residential. <br />Chairman <br />Scurlock asked,how <br />many of <br />the homes are occupied <br />by owners, and Rev. Jones felt the majority of them were owners, <br />but pointed out that there were many vacant lots in Blocks 14 and <br />15, and many of those owners live out of state. He stressed that <br />the residents in the subdivision want it to remain residential. <br />He pointed out that if Mr. Malone's property were to be included <br />in the node, there is a 70 ft. limit and he could actually do <br />less with his property. Most of the lots there are 50 ft. wide <br />so if they are rezoned in the medical zoning, the investors would <br />have to buy up several lots in order to build. The congregation <br />of the Church of God By Faith, Inc., located on 37th Place which <br />is directly across from the back of the lots in Blocks 14 and 15, <br />are opposed to commercial zoning. They wish it to remain <br />residential. Referring to Mr. Grohne's position, he found it <br />hard to believe that any builder would spend several thousand <br />dollars on a project before buying the property. <br />Rafus Russ, owner of 2 lots on Barber Avenue, urged the <br />Board to rezone the property back to commercial. <br />Tom Pease, 607 Tulip Lane, emphasized that staff and the P & <br />Z Commission had twice recommended these blocks be included in <br />the hospital node -and they had felt satisfied that they would be. <br />He believed that medical buildings would be a benefit to the <br />community. <br />Attorney Collins called out the following names of several <br />owners in Blocks 13, 14 and 15 who came to today's meeting to <br />support commercial zoning: J. D. Malone, all of Block 13; Lots <br />185, 199 and 201 are owned by the County; Louise Davis, Lots 186 <br />and 187; Sandra Glover, Lots 188, 197 and 198; Annie Mae Smith, <br />Lot #189; George Buckner, Lots 193 and 194; Rafus Russ, Lots 206 <br />and 207; Tom and Jill Pease, Lots 213, 214 and 215. <br />44 <br />
