The property in question being located on 1st East North of 2nd North about 100 feet to middle of 3rd North. It is now R2 and Manwaring Construction wish to change the zoning to Industrial so they can expand their business. RE: PETITION READ Mayor John C. Porter read a petition protesting the change. The petition contained 26 signatures of concerned property owners in the near vicinity. Mr. Manwaring advised that some of the people were not within a 300 foot perimeter, so were not eligible to sign. The protest would have to come from property owners within 300 feet of the perimeter of the property wanting to be changed. RE: PEOPLE ATTENDING HEARING People attending the hearing to protest the change were as follows: Fred Scoresby, Wanda Scoresby, David Phillips, Bruce Eckman, Harlow McNamera, Mary Ann Zollinger, Charles Zollinger, Virginia Zollinger, Dee Fullmer, and Doug Hardy. RE: COMMENTS ON HEARING Mayor Porter asked for comments. Attorney Harlow Mc Nemara representing the people apposed to the zone change, felt that the expansion of the Manwaring Construction business, farther into their neighborhood would lower property value. Mr. Blair Manwaring advised that they were short sighted and didn't know they would be expanding so much. This is why they want the zone change. Mr. McNemara stated that the people feel they must stop the incroachment into the residential area. The people in this area allowed them to move over into the residential area once and now they want to move farther in. They feel if they grant them this zone change they will just keep moving over until they will no longer have a residential area. Mr. Dee Fullmer asks if it were possible for them to move North across the canal. Mr. Manwaring reported that Charles Rasmussen owns a little. over 2 acres on north of the canal. They approched him about buying it. He told them he wanted over $100,000.00 for it. As this is a ridiculous price, it doesn't make it feasible to expand that direction. Fred Scoresby stated it didn't matter anyway the City has alread let Garner Concrete build a Commercial building in a residential zone. Mayor Porter stated that the permit issued was for a garage for storage only.
