Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of George Fisher for a <br />change in zoning. from an Agricultural District (A) to a General Retail District (GR), in the <br />B.D.T. Subdivision, Block A, Lot 2, being located behind 3850 Lamar Ave. <br />John Godwin advised this is an item we discussed last month where we recommended denial of <br />the request for Commercial because we believed that General Retail was more appropriate and <br />is also what is on the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the item for a change <br />in zoning from Agricultural to General Retail. <br />Public hearing declared open. <br />Vic Ressler, 4020 Holbrook, states he is representing the seller of the subject property and is in <br />favor of the petition. Ressler states he lives in the neighborhood and doesn't want to see <br />anything that would make the property values go down. This property is currently under <br />contract with the owners of the retail shopping center located at 3850 Lamar Ave. He states the <br />only access to the property is through a 30 ft. easement. The buyer has no use for the property <br />other than he doesn't want anyone to have ingress/egress access across his property and <br />
