1192 <br />Nilsen Is there anyone else who wishes to speak? <br />Mrs. MY name is P,4rs. Kittleson and I live at 1718 Fry. There has been <br />Kittleson a lot of talk that we knew at the time that this was commercial, <br /> and the property being devaluated at the time, but when you buy <br /> a house and there is a house next door to you, you assume that <br /> it is zoned residential. Nobody checks all the lots around them. <br /> You assume that the existing land use is the way it is zoned. <br /> In other words, if there is a house next door, you assume that <br /> if they ever sold those houses, it tivould have to remain residen- <br /> tial area. lisle saw a greenhouse and farmland across from us and <br /> naturally i^re assumed it was zoned for greenhouses and farmland. <br /> Vde had no objection to this. Vve don't mind living across from <br /> farming land. So the fact that we didn't look into it to see <br /> whether it was commercial perhaps was our fault, but as I say I <br /> think everybody assumes land is zoned the way it is being used <br /> at the present time, and if we need an excuse for not looking <br /> into it, I guess that's about all we have <br />Nilsen Is there anyone else who wishes to speak? <br />:!drs. John I'm Mrs. John Kelsey, 1L~70 W. California. What I wanted to do <br />Kelsey is ask some questions if I may. I wonder how -effective a petition <br /> would be where they went through the neighborhood and obtained <br /> 675 names, Some gentleman mentioned that only people within 500 <br /> feet were affected as far as the petition went. I would like to <br /> know what the people who are petitioning that this property be <br /> rezoned residential think should be put on that piece of property. <br /> Will people come in and build up against commercial property: <br /> Is that what they vrant the property for? I would like to know <br /> the purpose of rezoning to residential. <br />Nilsen Mr. Graham? <br />Graham In answer to the first question (I won't attempt to answer the <br /> second one), we are asked about the affect of this petition. It <br /> actually has no legal affect whatsoever. It is not one required <br /> by law or contemplated by law. I think it has been submitted <br /> for what weight, what value, and for what evidence the Council <br /> wishes to put it. I think the questions that have been directed <br /> to it and to the statements in the petition have been directed <br /> to whether or not the statements in the petition are accurate. <br /> The Council has been taking evidence. This is po:;sibly a piece of <br /> evidence relating to the feeling of the people who signed it. The <br /> Council will determine what weight it will be given. The Council <br /> is the body which will determine whether or not this property is to <br /> be rezoned. Now, with respect to the possible other use of the <br /> Lindig property, I will have to refer that to someone who can speak <br /> for the group that asked for rezoning. Does that answer your <br /> question on the first part? <br />Kelsey Yes. <br />Nilsen Do you wish to answer that at all, Mr, Korstad? Do you have any <br />replies you wish to make to that, particular question? <br />Korstad What was the question? <br />Kelsey I want to know why you want s.o many f~;et rezoned residential. Do <br />you feel, you people up against commercial property now, who have <br />
