Magerfleisch then presented a petition with 161 names of those opposed to the rezoning. He stated that the general appearance of the area should re- main as a farm section of Fort Collin and should instead be a school location, since population density is not there for business at this time. Howard Jones, referring to Magerfleisch's map with school lo- cations as bullseyes at the affected site, said he thought the bullseyes "better as a business site". Forrest Hall (Sheeley Drive) - "Does Fort Collins have any plans for future school sites?" Gene Allen - we have a close association with school officials regarding future school sites. Location depends on various factors --land prices, availability, etc. Mrs. Lincoln Miller People won't build in area if proposed planning takes place. Delores Williams - We don't want business near schools, because Planning and zoning meeting 2 April 5, 1966 it creates a conflict between traffic and school children.

Bill Allen says some type of retail outlets. Ed Miller inquired what type of business would go there? He's afraid "Linden Street type businesses" would hurt his property across the railroad. Miller would like to see the area used by the college. Bill Allen - claimed he didn't know what business would go there. Gene Allen - The area is served by a narrow street, not suit- ed for heavy traffic. Also the site does not meet general requirements for retail zoning. Chuck Rhodes - College has kept college type businesses off of Shields. Need for some types of outlets adjacent to C.S.U.. Bill Wyatt - We have no objection to a college type business.
