APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
MIDWAY ROAD NON -OWNER PETITION
Mr. Kenneth Prichard and Mrs. Mary Douglas (both reside on
Midway Road and represent a group of residents) stated they desired
to discuss the Non -Owner Petition involving Midway Road. A slide
presentation was presented as Mr. Prichard described the petition.
Mr. Prichard said the matter involved a petition to rezone Midway
Road property from RA Residential Agricultural to R-20, Single
Family Residential District. Prichard said the area was largely
composed of family farms that have been in continued use for 200
years. Several churches are in the area. Most homes in the
neighborhood are stick -built, single family dwellings. Prichard
stated his group was not opposed to growth; however, they wanted
guidelines established for a stable, residential area. Around 90
percent of the landowners, according to Prichard, have signed the
petition to rezone the property. He said the group feels that
rezoning from RA to R-20 will allow for a more orderly conversion
from farm land to residential use.
Chairman Haire thanked the group for the presentation and
advised that a public hearing would be held in June.
