Commissioner Boone asked for the lowest percentage, and

incorrect. It was probably more around 618. Also, felt that
petition was not presented to everyone.

the area had the feel of a subdivision. The petitioners want to
preserve the "vitality" of the neighborhood. Said he would be glad
to sit down and discuss with those in opposition.
Hugh Gurney Sall, Jr. (Opposition): Expressed concerns for
people that could not afford a house. "Character is not the house
you live in. Let people who can't do any better, live in peace."

residents had signed requesting that the rezoning not be changed.
Malvin Messick (Opposition): Mentioned that he bought
property in the area because of the zoning. Would like for his
children to have the opportunity to live in the area, and in a
mobile home, if they chose to do so.
Larry Dishmond (Proponent): Encouraged commissioners to vote
in favor of appropriateness.
D.E. Brewer (Opponent): Said that some people start out in
mobile homes but work their way up to houses. "You have to crawl
