Mr. Kincannon further expressed his concern of being re- zoned right out of farming. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she felt a function of the Planning Commission was to consider future planning which she believed the Planning Commission is doing in their recommendation for the zone change. Councilmember Duitsman indicated that he had some concern with the recommended zone change as it would eliminate convenience stores and he felt the zone change should include the possibility of a convenience store. Councilmember Duitsman further sug- gested that the Planning Commission consider the zone change to a C-4 zone which would allow convenience stores.

Zone Change Recommendation for Property South of Highway #10 and West of Waco Street - Public Hearing The City Administrator indicated that the Planning Commission felt that the commercial zone in this particular location was inappropriate and should be returned to its or- iginal designation of R~lb/Single Family Residential. The City Administrator indi- cated that the Planning Commission felt that the property was initially changed to C-3 for a specific business interest which never materialized and therefore, should be returned to its original designation of R-lb. The City Administrator indicated that the staff and City Planner agree with the Planning Commission's recommendation and therefore, recommend that the City Council change the zone classification. Mr. Lloyd Anderson indicated that at the time of his request for the zone change to C-3, he had a customer interested in the property and because it took so long for the City Council to make the zone change, the customer became discouraged and bought property elsewhere. Mr. Lloyd Anderson indicated that he believed that there were a number of reasons why the property should remain C-3. Mr. Anderson indicated that the property is on a dead-end street and that it is a corner lot with 600 feet of highway exposure. Mr. Lloyd Anderson indicated that if the City should rezone it to residential, the value of the property would be greatly reduced. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he questioned the ~!'\zoning in the first place. Mr. Ander... son indicated that he has sold a portion of the property to Mr. Don Johnson and Rich Kincannon as commercial property. Mr. Anderson indicated that they have been approached by a truck terminal business and a used car lot business, but turned them down as they did not feel it was a good use of the property. Further discussion was carried on regarding the total area and the recommended zone change. Mayor Hinkle suggested the City Council request the Planning Commission to consider aC-4 zone for the specific area. COUNCILMEMBER DUITSMAN MOVED TO DENY THE ZONE CHANGE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPERTY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 1110 AND WEST OF WACO STREET FROM A C-3 ZONE TO AN R-1B ZONE. COUN- CILMEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED.
