property be rezoned from Residential. Agricultural to Community Business.
Dr. Nieters said he was planning to put a shopping center in this area, which
will have a grocery store, drug store, branch bank, restaurant, etc., at the proposed
site.
Commissioner Murdock asked how this would affect the Brawley School, and Dr.
Nieters replied he did not think it would have any effect.
Mr. Davis innuired about the effects of the shopping center on the Brawley
school students.
Mrs. Dana Pittman said she could not see that there would be any danger to the
children at the school.
Commissioner Campbell inquired about the proximity to the church and the
selling of beer and wine at the shopping center. Dr. Nieters responded that there
may be a restaurant at the site, but it would have controlled consumption of beer and
wine because it is a restaurant. There would not be a bar, per se, at the shopping
center, Dr. Nieters said.

No one else spoke regarding the project.
CORRIHER WATER SERVICE: Ms. Beckham informed the board this request had been
withdrawn by Mr. Corriher.
Gene Duckworth, present for this hearing, inquired about notification of Pro-
perty owners in the vicinity of a requested rezoning. He was concerned if he would
be notified if this matter came un again.
Gertrude Ward said her son received a letter advising him of the public hearing.
The citizens were concerned with the fact the notice was posted on the property
for such a short time. Ms. Bekcham explained her notification system, saying she
posted the property and wrote the adjoining property owners. In this particular
instance, there were four adjoining property owners. She said she used the names
and addresses from the tax office.
Bryan Murray said during the planning board meeting there was extreme opposi-
tion to this rezoning. There was a petition with 37 signatures protesting the
rezoning. He said he spoke with Ms. Beckham a week ago, and she told him she
thought Mr. Corriher was considering withdrawing his request. He questioned if Mr.
Corriher could request this rezoning again, if possibly people living in the sur-
rounding area would not be aware of the public hearing and would not be able to be
present to express their views.
The citizens present at the hearing were concerned about lettering on a water
tank in their community. The planning board had instructed him to remove the
lettering as this was a form of advertising and is not covered under the present
zoning. Mr. Corriher had removed the lettering, but left an arrow. The citizens'
concern was whether or not the arrow constitutes a form of advertising. Ms.
Beckham had told them they would have to get a ruling from the board of adjustment
on this matter.
