I built a new home, 5 years ago, because the area was zoned a residential district." Mrs. Wood Then asked Planning Director Allen to state his views. Planning Director Allen "You'll find three sides already zoned FA Farming single family residences completely surrounding the area. Office buildings could be used in the B-L zone. The adjacent area should be considered.

Alden V. Hill stated a three-story shake shingle complex is proposed for the area. The opposition was then given an opportunity to state facts. Mr. Blevins "In our five acre deed was a restriction limiting the area to single family residences. We can see no reason why the proposed zoning change would help anyone in the neighborhood. It would reduce the value of our homes about $1,000." The opposition then presented a petition signed by 56 residents, to the Planning and Zoning Board. The sororities, although opposed to the new zoning, were not invited to sign the petition. Clark Springer (720 W. Prospect) Voiced objections to the rezoning. • • E • U PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING 4 November 1, 1966 Murray Crowton "We already have a traffic problem on Prospect. I don't think anyone in the neighborhood would benefit from this rezoning request." Bursch "Blevins houses should be considered. A parking lot would be better than a high rise." Mr. Carroll (640 Prospect) "It's an eyesore, all right. I don't think that I could raise a family there if it is approved." Bernard J. Willard "If this frontage on Prospect is approved, you wouldn't be able to back your car out on to Prospect. Mrs. Earl Gilson (615 Lake) "My property adjourns the Southern Baptist lot and do not find a waste of space in these lots, as claimed by Alden V. Hill. We won't have any privacy now. We bought the house two years ago with the understanding that it would be a quiet neighborhood and was zoned R-L. We have a nice garden in the 'so-called' waste -space so close to the college!" Alden V. Hill "Most people don't like changes. Also remember that the University is growing south." Clark Springer "Hill assumes that the residents of the proposed apartments will be quiet and not disturb the residential one -family neighborhood." Bursch "Is the change for better or for worse?" Planning Director Allen "Single family dwellings could be built on a cul-de-sac. Basically it could be developed into a small single family development." Don Culbertson "What effect will this have on the rest of West Prospect? We like the big lots with nine apple trees. Don Stuart made a motion to deny the application #43-66.
