A public hearing was this date held by the Board on the above rezoning
request. Mr. Michael K. Smeltzer, Attorney, appeared on behalf of the petitione 5.
Mr. Smeltzer described the property and explained that four employees would nor-
nally be working with a maximum of six employees working at anyone time. He
urther requested an amendment to be made to the request by changing the zoning
to B-1 instead of B-2 as originally requested. Mr. Smeltzer stated that no
hanges would be made in the existing bui lding and no large signs would be erectl~.
~e also called attention to the fact that there are businesses along Route 221
and to extend the zoning to B-1 is a logical extension of a business use for a
~ajor highway. Mr. Smeltzer then introduced Mr. Smith, petitioner, to the Super
~isors. Mr. Smith reiterated that there would be no changing of the appearance
pf the existing structure in any way.
Mr. Charles Cornelison, Attorney representing area residents in opposi
tion, submitted a petition signed by 100% of the families living on Pleasant Hi 1
Drive. He further asked those in opposition to the B-1 zoning to stand. Approx
mately 30 persons stood. He stated that Pleasant Hill Drive is rural living at
tis best and to allow commercial land in this area would reduce the value of the
property.
This concluded the public hearing and Supervisor Dodson moved that the
Board concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the
rezoning.
