PUBLIC HEARING: MAYOR LINTON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO REZONE BLOCK 30, LOTS 1 and 2, RIVERSIDE ADDITION, FROM C-1 TO I-1: It was reported that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. There was one communication from Mrs. Floy Casey Durham, favoring the zone change. The City Manager read letter from City Planning Commission recommending denial of requested zone change. Mr. Don Anderson, representing his mother, protested proposed zone change as vacating the street would double the size of property for Mr. Zimmerman and he could see no benefit derived by other property owners. He further reiterated that Mr. Zimmerman's property was an "eye sore" at the present time. Mr. Alvin Fleiger was opposed to zone change because it would bring increased traffic and dust and they didn't need any businesses in a residential area. Mr. Al Zimmerman, proposer of zone .change, reminded Mr. Fleiger that his property was not zoned residential, it was zoned commercial at the present time. Mrs. Olive McCoy stated that most of the residents in attendance lived at least 4 blocks from Tractor Company, they were retirees who had lived the major portion of their lives in that area and they preferred to keep it a quiet area. She, too, felt that Mr. Zimmerman's property was an eye sore and called attention to his "tar" fence. 1 To this, Mr. Zimmerman replied that he had purchased a permit to build his fence and that it was used corrogated metal fencing, not tar finished. Mr. Wilkins asked the delegation, "what would you people object to if the area were improved?" Mr. Fleiger replied that the only way he would approve zone change was if the City came in and black topped area, and then maintained it. Mrs. Floy Casey Durham felt this was valuable property for railroad sidings and again, reaffirmed her support for zone change. 1 s MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARING - Continued: L.I 1 SEPTEMBER 2, 1975 Mr. Tidrick was sympathetic with residents who had lived in that area for a long time and felt the Council was duty bound to consider their feelings. Mr. Russell Wiseman asked when the area had -gone from residential to commercial. Staff replied approximately 15 to 20 years ago. Mr. Adams asked Mr. Rea what objections the Planning Commission had to deny requested zone change? Mr. Rea replied that it was opposition to land use, neighbors opposition, and condition of land. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Linton for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. VISITORS: Nighbert Mr. Charles asked for clarification as to whether or not Mr. Hendler was a City employee.
