BOOK -,AGE <br />NOV 171992 <br />expected 10 more feet would come off that easement. He urged the <br />Board to deny the rezoning. <br />Beverly Brubaker stated that she lives on the corner of 10th <br />Avenue and 8th Street. She pointed out that the area has become <br />commercial north of 9th Street where there is a big parking area, <br />and she understood that if this property is rezoned, they plan <br />something similar. Mrs. Brubaker expressed her worry about the <br />buffering on her corner and asked that the Board not give <br />commercial zoning to the lot on 10th Avenue. <br />Gus Kern, 856 10th Avenue, felt that if this property is <br />rezoned, he will have commercial right next to his bedroom. He <br />believed Mr. Trevor Smith wouldn't be in the spot he is in now if <br />had spent his time fixing up that house. <br />Mrs. Watson, corner of 8th Street and Old Dixie Highway, <br />emphasized that if this property is rezoned, she would have <br />commercial on two sides of her residence.

He urged the Board to approve the rezoning <br />request. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />Commissioner Adams felt this is not an easy issue for anyone <br />and that somehow we have to work together. She recalled that the <br />primary concern of the P&Z was buffering and they discussed the <br />matter at length. It disturbed her greatly to see a photograph of <br />a dumpster within arms length of residential. The P&Z went over <br />this twice and suggested it not be rezoned for just the one lot on <br />the corner, that they come back as a group because it does entail <br />a great cost. Commissioner Macht felt the arguments on both sides <br />are good, but that the arguments made by Mr. Brubaker are <br />persuasive. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, that the Board deny the <br />76 <br />
