Kamer asked where he goes from here. City Attorney Stephanie Harris advised Kamer this is not a subject for this meeting. City Engineer Todd Mittge advised he would follow up with him. Gary Blackshear, 854 S Church states he received notice regarding rezoning the Church Street area. He states he and his wife Vicky purchased their historic home next to the Maxey House six years ago. He states approximately five single-family homes in the area are being restored currently and they are glad to see that. He wants to keep it moving in that direction. He does not believe that duplex, multi -family, and apartments blend well with the historic homes there, so they wanted to express that they are not in favor of the rezoning for multifamily.
