new location.
Mr. Ray Farmer, 1915 Hillsboro, and Mr. Dale Campbell , 1904 Independence, questioned
uses allowed under "Institutional (1-4)" zoning, and whether or not the County

done inside she has no comptaints about the rezoning.
Mr. Farmer questioned if Wheeler Street would become a through street and said
he would like to see the property along Earl Street and Wheeler cteaned up, and
that he objected to the area being used by motorcyctists. Ne said if the property
were cleaned up and the firing range moved he would have no objections to the rezoning.
Mr. Johnson replied that a budget request has been prepared to fence the northern
portion of the site, and they will see that the cteaning up is taken care of.
