Z & P Minutes 11/29/88 Page 2
Residents from the area stated their concerns about the
rezoning. They are opposed to the rezoning fearing that it
will continue to infringe into the residential neighborhood.
They feel that the property could be used for parking
sometime in the future. They were pleased with the prospect
of a new home at 11 Blake Road. Residents asked if covenants
could be placed on the property. It was noted that the City
cannot place covenants on the property but that something may
be worked out with the neighborhood association. Mr. Leadens
invited the residents to visit his office and perhaps they
can come to some understanding.

his opinion on exactly what can be constructed on the
property with the present zoning.
