Mayor Pfiester declared the public hearing open to consider the petition of A1 Turinsky for a change in zoning from a One-Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF-2) to a One-Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF-3) With Specific Use Permit (39) Mobile Home on Lots 1 through 8, Block 11, Westside Addition, being located in the 2000 Block of West Cherry Street and West Plum Street. Mayor Pfiester called for proponents to appear and none appeared. Mayor Pfiester called for opponents to appear. Sybil Colson, 819 Lamar Avenue, was present as a property owner and stated that she also represented other property owners in the neighborhood who were opposed to the petition. Ms. Colson stated that Mr. Turinsky would be making a mobile home park on this property. Ms. Colson said this would devalue the property in the neighborhood. She said what Mr. Turinsky is seeking to do is place a mobile home park in the middle of a residential neighborhood and this will place a burden on the infrastructure that is in place. Mayor Pfiester asked for a show of hands of those who were opposed to the zoning change, and approximately 95% of those in the room raised their hands. No one else appeared, and the public hearing was declared closed.
