Mr. Smith showed the Commission aerial photographs
of the lots in question. He stated these lots
front on 820 Frontage Road, and to ,the east is
Hudiburg. He stated they plan to build office
buildings or they might have small retail.
Mr. Smith stated that looking at the photos
they should agree that it should be commercial.
He stated the lots now stay grown up in weeds,
have snakes, trash, etc. in them. If zoned
commercial for office buildings they will have
pavements that will get rid of the weeds and
trash; they will put up a stockade fence to
separate the residents from the office building,
and the building will be of brick construction.
Mr. Smith stated if he lived there he would
rather have an office building next to him
instead of weeds and motorcycle paths. He
stated these lots were too small for residential
structures.
Mr. Anderson asked how old the houses were
in this area?
Mr. Smith stated they were built around the
early 50 IS. He stated some houses are well
kept and some are not. These houses were
built before 820 Freeway was built. He
stated these lots were definitely too small
for multi-family.
Mrs. Shaunty asked if there was anyone who
wished to speak in favor or in opposition of
this request.
Mr. Bill Tiro'f, 4709 Nancy Lane, stated he has
lived there for 17 years. He stated he would
like to see two new homes there and if he had
wanted to live in Commercial zoning he would
have moved to one.
Mr. Tirof stated he was not contacted when
Hudiburg was zoned. He stated he was definitely
against a fast food chain being put on these lots.

Mrs. Margaret Turner, 4704 Susan Lee Lane,
stated she did not want to live by anything
like a 7-11. People will come down their street
to get to that place and traffic would be terrible.
Mrs. Garner, 4705 Nancy Lane, stated if they
zoned these lots commercial she wanted hers to
be zoned commercial too.
Mr. Smith stated it would not be a fast food
place. It will probably be an office building
with maybe an insurance office or lawyerls office.
He stated if they put in retail shops, they
would probably be like a drapery shop or
carpet shop.
Mr. Smith stated that they keep their rental
property very clean.
.
Mr. Smith also stated that they plan on having
the entrances and exits on 820 which should
keep the potential traffic problem down.
Mrs. Shaunty asked Mr. Smith if he had considered
building duplexes on these lots.
Mr. Smith asked Mrs. Shaunty if she would live
in a duplex on 820.
Mrs. Shaunty stated she would rather see duplexes
there rather than it to go Commercial.
Mr. Anderson stated these lots are distress
properties. He said he can understand the
homeowners point of view, however, the city
sends out several citations each summer for
weeds, trash, etc. on these lots. He stated
he felt the city would benefit by having these
lots zoned Commercial.
Mr. Tirdf stated he had known Mr. Smith a long
time and he would like to see him build homes
on these lots. He stated he had considered legal
action against Hudiburg and the City for allowing
those trucks there next to him.
