REZONING REQUEST; JETTIE T. SAFRIET PROPERTY, CASE NO. 9712-1:
Planning Supervisor Allison said the applicant was requesting the property be rezoned from R-20,
Single Family Residential to GB, General Business District. The property is located at 477 Old

as PIN#475673 t 142 & 4756732000. The size of the tracts are .35 and .53 acres. Allison mentioned
that both structures on the lots were built prior to county -wide zoning (1990). In past years, the
buildings have housed everything from craft shops to cable storage facilities. The properties lie in
a transitional area of land use study, but private residences are in close proximity. Further, a valid
protest petition has been presented. On December 3, 1997, the planning board unanimously
recommended denial in a 8-0 vote.
Doug Safriet. the applicant's son, said he and his mother planned to sell the property, and
local realtors have advised there would not be a market for the property as a residence.
Beth Cooper (opposition) said her property adjoined the back of the lots. Requested the
rezoning be denied.
June McCov (opposition) mentioned she had lived beside the property since 1964. Stated
