their opposition and submitted a petition containing 102 signatures from North
Hills residents who oppose this rezoning.
Supervisor Johnson stated she had viewed the site and that a Hop-In

are commercial businesses~ I therefore move we rezone this property for these
people. I expect they will keep their word if the people keep their word to
patronize the restaurant.
Supervisor White stated "we have talked about both sides (of the issu )
and there are some concerns in my mind about the parking spaces that are not
clear and I represent the Hollins District and the County~ but I want to do

penalty, but cannot legally drive their cars without the decal. Mrs. Kesler
informed the Board that this could cause citizens to become "Lawbreakers."

IN RE:
COUNTY ATTORNEY
James Buchholtz, County Attorney, stated he had two matters he would
like to ask the Board to set public hearings for in order that they may be
properly advertised and suggested they be heard at the first meeting in June;
(1) There has been an offer to enter into an option to purchase certain
County property and that has not been presented to us in writing but in keep in
with some discussion in delaying the setting of real estate tax rate, and we
should get that lined up so we can advertise and abide by law; (2) a proposal
to amend the Zoning Ordinance at the present time and, actually you need to
refer this to the Planning Commission rather than advertise for a public
hearing but there is a matter of a $20.00 annual decal fee for mobile homes
in the County that are placed on property in the County as Special Exceptions
which the Board normally hears. Since they are now being taxed at the real
estate rates so rather than setting a public hearing on the fee, I suggest
you refer this matter to the Planning Commission for repealing this charge
on mobile homes.
Supervisor Johnson moved that the Ordinance on fees for mobile homes
be referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration; adopted by

unanimous voice vote.
Supervisor Park moved to set a public hearing on the real estate
matter for the first meeting in June; adopted by unanimous voice vote.

but asked Mr. Shell to look into the matter.
I
Supervisor Terry stated "I would like to say that I've never voted
on anything against the schools since I've been on the Board of Supervisors
for four years I've been here; Mr. Burton and Mr. Bayse Wilson appreciate
the way I've worked with them and everything else, and tonight I made a motion
here to help them out financially. I'd like to say very much that remarks
made by other people in the County that I'm not for the schools is not true.
I'm for the schools and I've been with them at the right time down there. In
1968 I ran around and knocked on doors for the bond issue to help build the
schools we have today and a lot of those people out there today don't know tha
they criticize that and the same ones that knocked on the doors in 1968 are
saying cut my taxes today. I want to make sure they understand this. Thank
you."
I
Supervisor White said he would like to echo what Mr. Terry said, "I
don't think these people that are criticizing the Board for not having
responsibility toward the schools, they're not the people that are running
the schools and I don't think they are the people that are criticizing, I thin
it's a small majority. I don't think they're in the minority so I don't
appreciate what they've said but if they continue to say it I don't think
it's going to hurt one way or the other, they wouldn't appreciate it if you
gave them the moon."
Mr. White inquired as to the status of the concession stand at
Walrond Park and was informed it is under construction. He further asked
about the building which was being razed on said property. Mr. Clark said it
has been completely torn down.
I
Mr. White further asked about the status of the Orlando and Palm
Valley Road project; Mr. Robertson, County Engineer, stated the alignment
has not been completed.
Chairman Myers said he would like to say while everyone was present,
the people who had worked so hard on Walrond Park, that he appreciated all
the efforts and the citizens appreciate it because when I go over there now I

see so many people participating and I'm sorry that some people don't want to
take care of the park, and I hope somehow we can remedy that. It is awfully
good and I'd like to keep it that way.
