zoning based on the analysis in the staff report. Two concerns about reuse of this site for housing under the requested rezoning were provided to our office as of the date of the report. 1. Mr. Tommy Frazier of 1210 35th St. NE expressed opposition to the request based upon concerns that the street will not handle the increased traffic. 2. Mr. Gary Nash of 105 NE 19th for H -N Partners at 1849 Lamar also indicated that the street will be inadequate for heavy traffic, unless they enter on Pine Bluff The public hearing was declared open. Scott Hearne states he has property across the street and wants to know how this site would be converted into multi -family. Andrew advised the intent of the applicant was to create dormitory type housing in the existing structure. Hearne states that he is opposed to that as it would create too much traffic and there is not adequate parking. Retha Frazier states she owns a half acre lot adjoining this property. She states she was told that Price Street was not adequate for additional traffic when she wanted to build a shop on her property. She is opposed to multi -family zoning which would increase traffic in this area. With no one else speaking the public hearing was declared closed. Chairman Lindsey states the future land use is low density residential and being that the applicant has withdrawn, we do not know what would go there. An apartment complex is allowed with multi -family zoning and he does not agree with that use for this location. A Motion was made by Sims Norment, seconded by Michael Mosher to accept the applicants written withdrawal. Motion carried 5-0. 5.
