Mr. Howell stated this property has been in their family for forty (40) years. The maps show it to be in the flood plain but it has been removed from that area with the help of the City. It has been zoned Neighborhood Service (NS) because his brother had a portable building there and ran a real estate office out of it. He has wanted to build the property up for the past twenty (20) years. With sewer services going to be available for this property it would be a good location for a free standing structure such as a flooring shop, hair studio, sandwich shop, etc. Mr. Howell further stated he wants to have opinions for his property. B. No one spoke in opposition.
