Regular City Council Meeting March 6, 2003 Page 2 Block 54. She explained that she wanted to move her manufactured home to Paris and place it on this lot for her mother to live in so that she could take care of her mother. Ms. Akins felt that the manufactured home would enhance the neighborhood. Ms. Akins stated that in this area there are abandoned houses and unkept property with city code signs in their yards. Her home would not take away from the area. Ms. Akins had noticed a single-wide home on 6th N.W. and said that her home was a better caliber home than that one. Emma Smith, 451 N.W. 4th, also appeared before the City Council in support of the zoning change requested by Ms. Akins. Mayor Pro Tem Manning called for opponents to appear. Karol Ann Moore, 4330 Lakeshore Drive, came forward advising that she owns a home at 450 4th N.W., which is across the street from the requested zoning change and she was opposing the change. She felt that this would affect the value of her property. Ms. Moore advised that there were no manufactured homes in this area. Patsy Daniels, 549 5th N.W., came forward expressing opposition to the zoning change. She said they have owned their home on 5th N.W. for twenty-eight years and they have restored that home. They also own a rent house across the street from their home. Ms. Daniels urged the City Council to deny the zoning change. Councilman Weekly stated that as a Councilman, he was opposed to the placement of a manufactured home in this area because it will devalue the property. There was also a petition presented in opposition to the zoning change. No one else appeared and the public hearing was declared closed. A motion was made by Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Bell to bring Agenda Item No. 4, an ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance No.
