residential to commercial before the Comprehensive Plan was prepared in 1989. When
the Comprehensive Plan was adopted this property was rezoned in the plan as
residential. Mrs. London stated that the City had no objection to rezoning this property
to reflect the change made before 1989.

Acting Chairman, Robert Carter, asked for anyone who approved of the change to please
approach the microphone. Mr. Scott Clark, property owner, addressed the board. He
stated that he had sold the property and carried the paper himself. The property was
later returned to his possession. While trying to sell the property again, he discovered
that the zone was not the same as he had thought it was. Mr. Clark stated that changing
the zone to C-1, was a good starting place for selling the property.
Acting Chairman, Robert Carter, asked for anyone who opposed the change to please
approach the microphone. Mr. Michael Keller, 1703 W 7th, stated that he had 3 letters
from people in the neighborhood and presented copies of these letter to the board
opposing the zone change. Mr. Keller stated that he based his opinion on the property
adjacent to the property in the case, which he felt was a perpetual garage sale, with used
clothing, fumiture and even tires. Mr. Keller stated that commercial zoning should be
concentrated closer to the downtown area, and that the historical value of the area should
be preserved.
Ms. London read the 3 letters Mr. Keller presented to the board opposing the zone
change. The letters were from Candace Keller, Seth Halpert, and Mr. & Mrs. Torres.
