It just doesn't seem right that someone can,walk into a public hearing at the last minute and convince you that you should be looking at 1 unit -per 2-1/2 acres that -you have zoned 1 unit per 40 acres. Attorney Dill stressed that there are a lot of people who worked very hard with petitions and letters to the Governor and Cabinet to get that property ranked as high as it is on the CARL listings, and they are not going to be very happy to hear that all.of a sudden this land may be downzoned significantly to a point where it substantially increases the property value. 'in the interests of fairness, he felt the Coraci request should be required to go through all the public hearings the same as every body elses property. Chairman Eggert assured him that it will go through all the public hearings. The only direction that is being given to staff tonight is to work with them and come back with a recommendation. She also pointed out that two weeks ago, the DCA wasn't giving anything on this, and to hear that Secretary Pelham is talking about perhaps putting it at 1 unit per 2-1/2 acres is a big change from what we were being told.

There being no others who wished to be heard in this matter, Chairman Eggert closed the Public Hearing. 28 - M M
