• • <br />• Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting <br />June 3, 1981, Page 6 <br />to happen when he doesn't want a cabinet shop any more and <br />Joe Blow down the street comes in and wants to open up a <br />beer joint? There we are hung in the middle with no way <br />out. So like I say, we would like to have your cooperation <br />in this matter and the other few problems we have out there <br />I'm sure we can work out. They'll all be solved in time. <br />Things are going to be all right out there if we can get <br />this nipped before it gets started. Thank you. <br />Westergren: Mr. Walker, who owns the remaining property out <br />there? The vacant lots, are they individually owned or are <br />they owned by a developer? <br />Walker: The majority are owned by individuals. <br />Westergren: Then we are not dealing with a developer? <br />Faris: Are .you aware that if a commercial developer came in, <br />one of the requirements would be to put in a good road? <br />• Walker: Well, that might help a little ways, but that wouldn't <br />help enough to justify rezoning. If anything of any size was <br />put in on the front lots, they would use 26th Street, not <br />D Street, or I know I would. <br />Longley: Are you concerned with a smoke stack type of industry, <br />sir? <br />Walker: Anything; it doesn't matter. We don't want anything. <br />Everybody that lives out there, when we moved out there, we <br />are not poor folks. We could have lived in Fairmont or any <br />place we wanted to. We decided to live out there because it <br />was off the beaten trail and quiet, except for the airplanes. <br />They were there when I moved there, so I can't complain about <br />them. That's why we moved out there, because it's about the <br />last place that's got a little bit of air to it. <br />Meza: Mr. Walker, is a beer joint your concern? <br />Walker: No. I just used that as an example. All I was say- <br />ing was, once it is rezoned and a business is established <br />there and he decides he can't make it and he sells, that <br />property still remains commercial. Correct? <br />Askins: Yes. <br />• Walker: O.K. You never know what will come in next. When I <br />say this I am talking of the rear two lots where the cabinet <br />shop is going to be built, because they are close to our homes. <br />
