e e e City Council Minutes March 18, 1991 Page 6 Don Spotts, Planning Commission Representative, indicated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request because the parcel was originally zoned C-3 and changed to R-1 at the time the focus area study was adopted. He further stated that it was the Commission's feeling that C-3 was the highest and best use of the property. Shelden Vie, property owner indicated that the property was conducive to highway commercial development. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. Diane Tyson, 18741 Yankton St. NW stated she was opposed to the rezoning. She indicated she recently purchased a home across the highway from the parcel and the entire area was residential. Ms. Tyson also questioned how the traffic flow would increase and what use was proposed for the property. There being no further comments, Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing.
