Seven individuals spoke in opposition. Jean Ferguson, 544 20t" Street S.E., spoke in opposition to the petition. Mrs. Ferguson stated she had a concern that it would bring the market value down on their neighborhood and there would be no yard left with the structure they want to build. Kerri Priest, 2020 Simpson Street, spoke in opposition to the petition. Mrs. Priest stated she had concerns about there being no parking and this area has too much traffic for people to park on the street. Mrs. Priest further stated that she felt the same way as Mrs. Jean Ferguson that it would bring the market value down on their neighborhood. David Hobbs, 2021 Simpson Street, spoke in opposition of the petition. Mr. Hobbs stated that the property is able to build on but Mr. Swaim and Mr. Mayes are trying to configure the structure in the wrong way which would require a variance. Mr. Hobbs further states that he is against the variance and has five reasons; it's not desired in the neighborhood, it's not good for health and safety, hardship, scale of the property and it would be granting special privileges. David Darrow, 2108 Simpson Street, spoke in opposition of the petition. Mr. Darrow stated he had concerns that market value in the neighborhood would drop and parking might cause traffic issues. Betty House, 545 20th Street S.E., spoke in opposition of the petition.

Jim and Phalia Blassingame, 1941 Clarksville Street, Shawn Napier read their email into the record in opposition of the petition. Mr. and Mrs. Blassingame stated they feel there is a valid reason for the minimum lot depth of at least 100 feet which Zoning Ordinance 1710 requires. There is a wonderful duplex across the street that has parking in the back, a beautiful yard and they never have to park in the street. If a Two-Family Dwelling were to be built at 555 20th Street S.E., those benefts would not exist and the living conditions would be cramped at best. David Lederer, 554 20th Street S.E., spoke in opposition of the petition. Mr. Lederer stated he had concerns that parking might cause traffic issues and there is just no room for a two-family dwelling home. . .. 3 Public hearing was declared closed.
