Mm. Mills came fo~ard to offer explanation in favo~ of The application, in
representation of the owner's of the proper%y. Me assured the Board that he
and his associates ~re not interested in heavy m~nufa~~ he felt that
a small, light industrial use of the parcel would be the best use of the
land.
}~. Bill Coke also came forward tO speak in favo~ of the 'proposed project.

Board. He realated that he b~d been contacted by severel large industrial
electrical corporations interested in this area.

landscaping.

his associates were very interested in creating good relations with su~round-
ir~ residents.

free of parking or anything else.
}~. Coke offered that this stmip could be deleted from the petition for
rezoning and left at the present zcrdng. Since the area would not meet
meq~H~zRments, nothing could really be constructed om it and the City and
Board could restrict it to 'just landscaping, etc. He stated that he felt
this would be a good idea, s~nce there ~muld undoubtedly be more hcmes
built in this area in the future.
