Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes July 17, 1997 Page 8 covered. She said she is requesting that there not be anymore additional single wide trailers in the area for their protection. Ms. Betsy Bowen, Resident, addressed the Board stating she lives in Autumn Acres. She said what no one has mentioned tonight is that Autumn Acres is a restricted housing development. She said since the trailers have moved in, the value of her home has gone down. Mr. Larry Bentley, Resident, addressed the Board stating his concern is the trailers, and he hopes the Board approve this rezoning. Ms. Kathy Brantley, Resident, addressed the Board stating she is in favor of the rezoning. She said this whole thing started because they felt like there was a lack of adequate controls for single wide mobiles and single wide mobile home developments. Ms. Branton said their main concerns were that their property value was going down. They were also concerned about the physical appearance of the homes, and in fairness to the Mesimer's they do look somewhat better than what they did. She said she would have to question will it continue after this Board has made a decision and it goes on to the County Commissioners. Ms. Branton said they also have an increased concern for safety. Mr. Keith Wayne, Resident, addressed the Board stating he operates a business with his brother, and as he understands this will become a nonconforming business. He said they support this rezoning. He said he agree that agriculture should be exempt from this zoning change. Mr. Wayne said the zoning change is the only way of controlling the quality of growth. The Chair closed the Public Hearing on Petition 97-12. The Chair stated to the Board that they need to separate from their consideration the personalities of the people involved and just think about what this is going to do to the community. He also asked the Board to think about whether this is the proper thing to do for the community.
