#1 RZ00-36 Shirley McNamara requested approval of rezoning from Residential R-1 to Residential R-2 for 3.16 acres located on a part of the south ½ of the NW 1/4 of Section 32, T14N, R4E. The address of the property is 3714 Harrisburg Road and the general location of the property is on the east side of Harrisburg Road, north of Lakewood Drive.
Skip Mooney, Sr. informed the commissioners the legal action that was pending at the filing of a previous request for this property had been decided. The court decision was ordered on May 19, 2000.
Opponents from the area, approximately 12, voiced concerns over the lack of maintenance of the property until the rezoning was filed and were also concerned about property values going down. Drainage issues were raised and it was stated that drainage-ways in the area are not maintained and that drainage is between homes in the adjacent subdivision where back yards and garages have flooded. They feared that parking lots and roof tops would further compound the drainage problems.
Ms. Shaw made a motion to disapprove the request stating the rezoning to a higher density zoning would be a detriment to the area considering that there are over 900 apartments within a short radius of the proposal.
