City Council Meetrng <br />June 6, 2002 <br />Page 9 <br />Mayor Pfiester called for opponents to appear, and Bill Dalton, 460 24tn NW <br />appeared before the City Council stating that he lives across the street from this <br />property. Mr. Dalton said he did mention that this would probably be low cost <br />housing because he had heard this about a year and half ago from a lady who <br />works for the city. Mr. Dalton said this would lower property value and it will <br />create a lot of traffic down this street. There are a lot of traffic problems now <br />because they get the over-flow from school buses and this could create a safety <br />hazard. Mr. Dalton pointed out that the street is narrow, and there is no curb <br />and gutter. He also said the sewer system is old in this neighborhood and <br />there are people having trouble with the sewer now, and additional housing will <br />create more problems. Mr. Dalton presented a petition containing forty-five <br />signatures opposing this zoning change. <br />Mayor Pfiester asked Mr. Dalton how many people he told that this was going <br />to be low income, Section 8 housing, and mixed families. Mr. Dalton said that <br />more of the people on the petition asked him if he thought this would be that <br />type housing. Mr. Dalton said if Earl Posey had his home at this location, and <br />if he came to him and told me that he wanted to build a duplex on his land to <br />supplement his income, he would not have any obj ections to that. Mr. Dalton <br />stated that he did not think Mr. Posey is going to live there. <br />Sherry L. Posey was present advising that she is the ex-sister-in-law who lives <br />across from the property. Ms. Posey stated that she did not want apartments <br />at this location. She preferred a one-family dwelling. <br />No one else appeared, and the public hearing was declared closed. <br />City Manager Malone called for consideration of and action on an ordinance <br />amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1710 changing the zoning from a One-Family <br />Dwelling District No. 2( SF-2) to a Two-Family Dwelling District (2F) on <br />Lots 2 and 3, City Block 300. <br />A motion was made by Councilman Bell, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem <br />
