PUBLIC AGENDA
PETITION NUMBER 3556 was filed by property owners in Key Acres 2nd
Addition, protesting the rezoning of property described in Petition Number
3527 and amendments, from District "A" (Second Dwelling House District) to
Districts "B" (Two -Family Dwelling House District) and "C" (Apartment House
District). (Petition Number 3527 was filed by Doyle E. Yockers for the
rezoning of certain lots in Key Acres 2nd Addition)
A motion was made by Commissioner Usher, seconded by Commissioner
Weisgerber to accept the petition and refer it to the Planning Department for
checking and verification.
Jim Hale, Jim Wesch, Verne Silver, and Shirley Palmer, property
owners from the area, were present protesting the rezoning of the land requested
by Doyle E. Yockers in Key Acres 2nd Addition.
Mr. Rawlings explained the protest petition is to the City Commission
to influence your decision on Petition 3527 by Mr. Yockers when it comes up
for second reading. The recommendation of the Planning Commission on that
petition was accepted by the Commission and the rezoning ordinance introduced
for first reading, subject to platting, and we are now waiting for the replat
to be approved prior to the rezoning ordinance coming back for second reading.
He said they ran a fairly quick check through this protest petition and it
did appear to have a little over 7% protest, whereas 20% is necessary for a
valid protest to take a 4/5 vote of the City Commission to approve the rezoning.
He explained 7% protest will not effect the manner in which the commission votes
when it makes a decision on Petition Number 3527. He said the tally on the
protest petition will be prepared in final form by the time action is required on
the rezoning request.
After a short discussion between the protesting property owners,
City Commissioners and Mr. Rawlings, Acting. Mayor Caldwell called.for a vote
on the motion. Ayes: (3). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
