Mr. John Barfield, Owner, appeared before the Council.

Mr. Barfield stated they felt commercial would be the best use of the land. Mayor Echols asked Mr. Barfield if he had considered some type of buffering next to the church. Mr. Barfield stated they had met with representatives of the church and advised them they would work with them. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the public hearing.
