Minutes of the meeting held 26 July 77 were accepted as read.
1. MITTIE HOWARD PROPERTY - 280 TAYLOR STREET
Mr. and Mrs. James Baker, Mittie Howard's daughter and son -in -law, came before Board
to request a change in zoning from R -1 to C -1 for her property located at 280 South
Taylor Street. The Baker - Howard Services business was grandfathered in when area
was zoned R -1 and the Bakers wish to be able to continue the business without inter-
ruption in tie event of Mrs. Howard's death. The board chose 26 Sept 77 as the date
for public hearing.
2. PETITION 77 -3 PUBLIC HEARING - CHARTER LAND AND HOUSING -TWIN LAKES SUBDIVISION
Attorney Ken Oswald came before the board, representing Frank Schrimsher, a local
builder who has contracted to purchase certain lots in Twin Lakes Subdivision from
Charter Land and Housing, requesting a change in zoning for lake front Lots 73 -80
inclusive from R1AA to R1A and Lots 81 -105 inclusive from R1A to R1. Mr. Schrimsher
plans to construct two model homes, purchase lots and construct presold houses in
the $31,000 and up price range with Conventional, FHA, and VA financing.
A petition protesting change, drawn up by Mr. Leo Gallagher, and signed by forty -four
residents from that area, has been made a part of the file. Three of those signers
• appeared to request that their names be removed from petition because they felt the
facts had been misrepresented. Of the approximately thirty citizens present a
straw -vote called for by Mr. McRobert indicated opinions evenly divided. In response
to several citizens' questions, Mr. Hurst, Building Inspector, explained that once
the zoning change is made, there is nothing to prevent others from coming in and
putting up small houses.
Mr. Carter moved to recommend to Council to grant petition. Motion died for lack
of a second. No further action was taken.
