creating more of a traffic problem there than it currently has. Ressler asks that the board approves the petition. Patty Metzcher, 340 39"' SE Street, states she is against the petition due to the fact they are already covered with retail and commercial businesses in this area. There is lots of traffic and noise from Town Center to 42nd Street. Metzcher states she is concerned of the property values going down if something is built on this property. Any dirt work will cause flooding problems. They have put a lot of time and money into making their homes beautiful and don't want anything to change that. Ruth Patterson, 320 SE 39th Street, her backyard looks into this empty field and states she would not have purchased her home if she knew retail was going to be there. The traffic would be a burden and the property values would go down. Patterson asks the board to deny this petition. Lynn English, 3905 Oleander Street, states this property backs up to the corner of his property. He states there is currently so much noise from the dumpsters, traffic and late night activity. Stating late at night you can hear people congregating around PETCO and drag racing. He doesn't want anything to add to that and is against this petition. Public hearing was declared closed. Commissioner Lindsey asked Ressler for clarity as to what the buyer's intentions are with this property. Ressler states the buyers have no interest to build anything on the property. They merely want to keep people from back there and keep the traffic down. Motion was made by Keith Flowers, seconded by Chad Lindsey to approve the zoning change. Motion carried 6-0. 4.
