Mr. Eugene C. Mather

Mr. Joe Kunz

OBJECTION
Questioned the size, quality of
the building, and asked who the
prospective tenants were.
Stated there would be two shopping
centers 2 mile apart with residents
caught in between, also two gas
stations. Mr. Mather suggested a
transitional type zoning.
Opposed from the standpoint of
traffic, many children in the area.
Stated shopping centers devaluate
the adjacent property, would
increase the amount of traffic near
the school. Mr. Kunz recommended

Commission be followed.
