There were no written communications on file. Mr. Kinzer read letter from City Planning Commission, recommending proposed zone change. Carl Maier, 1740 N. 22nd, presented petition from property owners in area, protesting zone change as they wished to keep their area residential and opposed increased traffic. Luther Parrott, 1744 N. 22nd, opposed zone change as it would lower the property value and concurred with opposition to increased traffic. William Richards, 1724 Rd. 22, stated that Rd. 22 was a speedway now and if the apartments were built, you would have less parking and more population. John Fifer, 1748 Rd. 22, preferred residential one -family dwellings and opposed zone change as it would cause traffic congestion as well as decreased property valuation. Jack Cooney, 1712 Chase, did not particularly oppose zone change, but did feel.the City had a problem traffic wise in that area. He felt residents were in a "closed in island." Mr. Denney asked Mr. Rea if people who signed petition had been at Planning Commission Hearing. The reply was negative. Mr. Wilkins asked what was being contemplated for the area as far as development. Mr. Rea replied that apartment., houses were being considered. Mrs. Delores Heinan, Realtor from Yakima, Washington and representing developer, stated that apartments would be the best use for the area. Further, they would comply with all zoning regulations. MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARING - Continued: APRIL 2, 1974 Residents of area in attendance stated their first knowledge of proposed zone change was a notice posted on telephone pole on Pearl Street, and felt this was not sufficient notification to property owners. Mr. Fifer responded by stating that perhaps some people would prefer to live in a residential community rather than an area of multiple living units. He stated that the amount of traffic did not bother him as bad as type of traffic. This area has an abundance of high speed traffic. Mayor Linton stated that the staff should explore possibility of opening roads in that particular area and report back in thirty days. (This so noted by staff). Following three (3) calls from Mayor Linton for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.
