• • Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting June 3, 1981, Page 7 Nobody has any objections to a cabinet shop. But once it is rezoned, we are stuck with it. Skelton: Mr. Walker, is D Street the only street into your subdivision? Walker: That's right; D Street goes down and there is one street turns north of D Street, that's Battleview. Westergren: Mr. Walker, would you feel any less crowded if that were developed into residential lots and there was a lot every 60 feet? Walker: I don't mind houses. I wouldn't like to see them. I like open spaces. I would much rather have houses than a business. Westergren: I was just thinking, every house usually has two cars, so traffic would be much greater. Harding: My name is Amy Harding, and I own one of the lots • Mr. Walker was just talking about that has just brought dirt in. We chose these lots because we have two small children. We wanted to get out of the polluted area; both our children have allergies. For something like a steel mill, or something like that, would just ruin our dreams of having a home out in the country but close enough to schools. We just signed the papers on our home and I was really appalled when I heard of the rezoning. I agree with just about everything Mr. Walker said. I believe if it was all residential the traffic would be heavier but the quality of traffic would be different. The heavy trucks on those dirt roads just won't hold up, where- as with cars it will be different. Westergren: You are aware, we are not considering industrial rezoning? Harding: Well, commercial to me is industrial, retail, what have you. Is that correct? Westergren: There is a real difference, like heavy steel mill industry opposed to retail merchant. Harding: But isn't commercial including that? Westergren: No. • Harding: Oh, O.K. Then we are just talking about retail business. that's guaranteed.
