recommendations and not the few residents who came in to complain and did not own the majority of the property in the area. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Attorney Michael O'Haire came before the Board representing Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ferraguti, owners of Parcel 12, which is located west of the railroad tracks. They are bordered on the north by Mama Mia's restaurant and on the east across U.S., by the Polish American Club. He stressed that this property is a narrow strip between the railroad and U.S.!, and to think that property is ever going to be usable as residential property is not reason- able. Attorney O'Haire urged the Board to deny the rezoning, which was voted down unanimously by the PAZ Commission, and leave things as they are up there. Commissioner Eggert believed we worked hard to try to see if we could get the node to stretch down that far and that is why there is the MXD. Commissioner Bird emphasized that he certainly would have no intention of changing any of parcels 10, 11, 12, or 1, 2, 3 and R - the only question in his mind may be regarding the western portions of parcels 5, 7 and 8. He felt the property right along the railroad and U.S.! should be commercial. Dir. Keating contended that if the idea is that everything along U.S.I. and the railroad should not be residential, there then was no reason to put MXD in the Comprehensive Plan, and we will have strip development from county line to county line. He noted that the reason this SAP was not that bad when it was done was that the area was undeveloped. He did agree we should go back and take another look, butdid not agree everything along U.S.I. should be commercial. Commissioner Bird believed there are some predominantly commercial and light industrial uses in this area, and he felt that is what fits best here. Chairman Scurlock also noted that this is probably one of the narrower pieces between the tracks and U.S.I. 25 FEB 2 i9F BOOK 70 FAC 754
