A
C
I'm
Fred
Weber,
the
second
of
six
866
south
Blackburn
Road
in
Athens
I'm
here
today,
to
request
a
change
to
the
24
plus
or
minus
acres
that
my
sister
and
I
own
at
the
intersection
of
South
Blackburn
Road
and
u.s.
route,
15
32
from
an
r
1,
2
and
R
3,
I
guess
I'm
going
to
go
and
kind
of
make
my
points
again
as
I
have
creatures
that
leave
any
stone
unturned.
C
We've
been
trying
to
sell
this
property
for
a
number
of
years
and
it's
our
opinion
or
our
conclusion
that
being
zoned
r1
that
there's
not
any
interested
developers
with
that
designation,
we've
been
trying
to
like
I,
say:
we've
been
trying
to
sell
it
and
apparently
the
the
costs
of
development.
The
infrastructure
for
that
site
would
be
prohibitive
in
single-family
homes.
So
that's
why
we're
requesting
the
r3
designation
so
that
multiple
residents
and
conditional
development
could
take
place.
C
The
concern
about
blasting
is
is
real
if
you
think
that
you're
going
to
build
another
superhighway,
such
as
they
did,
was
33
south
or
33
East
I
felt
that
that,
as
my
neighbors
did,
that
there
was
excessive,
blasting
or
maybe
not
excessive,
but
it
certainly
was
uncontrolled
or
it
seemed
to
us
that
there
was
more
blasting
going
on
and
the
state
did
not
respond
to
the
concerns
at
all.
So
I
think
there
might
have
been
one
one
property
owner
that
was
to
get
any
any
relief
at
all
from
that
activity.
C
So
I'm
more
conscious
of
that
I
certainly
wouldn't
want
anything
like
that
to
happen,
because
my
house,
its
containers,
this
property.
So
we
are,
we
are
aware
of
that.
The
intersection
has
been
characterized
as
borderline
as
far
as
efficiency
studies
have
been
done,
although
the
studies
really
were
considering
development
on
the
other
side
of
Blackburn
on
the
north,
lock,
where
inside
rather
than
South
Blackburn
side,
but
it
would
affect
that
intersection,
and
there
are
some
issues
that
should
be
addressed
there.
C
So
we
we
hear
her
and
we
understand
her
concerns
the
soil
on
the
and
the
terrain
has
mentioned
its
slip
prone
and
steep
and
and
if
you'd
look
at
a
topographical
map,
you'll
see
that
my
property
is
not
as
hilly
is.
The
recent
development
in
Westfield
place
and
I
can
share
photographs.
If
you
care
to
look
at
those,
the
access
road
serving
the
motel
is
approximately
22
feet
wide,
which
most
likely
would
meet
the
requirements
of
the
development
also
of
any
development.
Any
developer,
I
would
think
would
consider
improvements.
C
C
In
addition
to
just
saying,
I
can't
sell
it.
You
know
the
improvements
of
the
highway
over
the
last
30
40
years
have
changed
the
dynamics
of
that
property.
It
doesn't
have
the
appeal
that
it
had
70
years
ago
when
the
house
was
built
because
of
the
of
the
development
that
has
occurred.
It
did.
It
lends
itself
to
multiple
type
development.
C
C
The
really
refers
there,
a
west
of
the
city,
because
my
property
is
provided
water,
sewer,
gas
and
electric
right
at
the
property
line,
whereas
the
corridor
that
referred
to
and
somebody's
comprehensive
plan
points
out
that
that
that
needs
to
be
addressed
as
a
Township,
Trustee
I
agree
so
in
in,
in
summary,
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'm
in
favor
of
responsible
development
I
have
a
personal
interest
that
this
anything
that
happens
there.
That
would
be
an
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood.
Our
proposal,
I,
don't
believe,
is
in
conflict
with
any
comprehensive
plan.
C
D
Hi,
my
name
is
Mary
Ann,
Reeves
and
I
live
adjacent
to
mr.
rivers,
property
I
bought
the
house
from
his
mother
and
the
two
acres
and
I
loved
the
place
very
much
so,
and
I
tried
to
take
care
of
it.
Well,
just
a
couple
of
points:
I
wanted
to
clarify
again
I
think
we
have
the
mapping
clarified,
but
now
we
keep
saying
that
the
property
for
sale
is
at
the
intersection
of
30
to
50
and
South
Blackburn
Road.
Well,
my
house
is
at
the
intersection
of
30
to
50
and
South
Blackburn
Road.
D
C
D
We
don't
know
that
there
would
be
increased
traffic
I
certainly
appreciate
mr.
Webber's
concerns,
but
once
he
sells
to
a
developer,
it's
completely
out
of
his
hands
as
to
what
would
go
in
there
and
completely
out
of
anybody
else's
hands.
I
know
that
you
don't
want
anything
to
happen
to
the
neighbourhood.
Mr.
Webber
I
understand
that
completely,
so
no
no
she's
better.
D
Okay,
but
it's
out
of
your
control
once
it's
sold
so
as
much
as
I
appreciate
your
concerns,
you
won't
have
any
control
over
it.
As
far
as
some
potential
blasting
goes,
I
noticed
the
other
day
that
my
retaining
wall
is
still
moving.
After
all
this
time
of
the
blasting
for
route
33,
the
retaining
wall
is
still
moving
around
the
driveway.
The
part
that
I
didn't
have
replaced
and
there's
a
huge
crack
again.
D
So
the
blasting
that
was
done
means
that
that
land
is
still
not
settled
and
if
any
blasting
was
done
now,
I
have
no
idea
what
would
happen.
You
know
I've
had
so
much
money
put
into
my
house
and
no
I
didn't
receive
a
penny
for
any
damages,
because
the
statutes
of
limitations
ran
out,
and
none
of
us
did
in
Athens
that
I'm,
aware
of
I.
D
D
Don't
know
that
to
me
that
just
I
I
wonder
if
that's
what
we
should
be
doing
if
we
should
be
rezoning
just
for
money
to
sell
the
property.
Is
that
what
we're
doing
here
I
mean
I,
don't
know,
I
know
that
it's
been
difficult
to
sell
the
land,
but
if
someone
wanted
to
buy
it
for
a
house
site
or
two
house
sites,
it
was
zoned
for
that.
No
one
was
interested,
I
guess,
I,
don't
know
what
the
solution
is,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
should
be
rezoning
just
so.
D
A
C
Marianne
comments
that
once
I
sell
it
I
have
no
control
first
place,
I'm,
not
going
to
sell
it
to
someone
that
I
don't
have
confidence
in
that's
number
one
number
two,
even
though
you
grant
a
rezoning
classification,
it
still
has
to
go
before
City
Council
I
can't
give
you
a
plan
because
I
don't
have
one,
but
I
am
I,
am
confident
that
I
can't
move
forward.
Without
this
zoning
change
and
I
think
that's
from
my
understanding
that
I'm
taking
the
appropriate
step
to
move
forward.
A
E
Don't
necessarily
feel
its
spot
zoning,
it's
a
big,
it's
a
big
chunk
to
be
called
spot
zoning,
but
it
does
break
up,
but
is
an
r1
zone,
and
it
is
only
contiguous
at
that
one
point
with
the
b2
zone,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
said.
We
wouldn't
consider
him
for
be
two
ways.
Only
traffic
from
that
would
have
to
go
out
on
South
blackboard
Road,
even
though
it
doesn't
intersection
is
not
part
of
that
parcel.
B
F
G
B
Parcel
of
land
can
be
divided
as
a
minor
subdivision
or
what's
commonly
known
as
a
lot
split
so
long
as
it
has
the
required
minimum
area
and
minimum
road
frontage
requirement
it's
a
function
of.
If
there
are
curb
and
gutter
there
in
what
utilities
are
available.
Just
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
you
have
to
have
at
least
70
feet
of
road
frontage
for
each
lot
and
a
minimum
area
of
8,000
square
feet,
but.
B
E
A
B
B
G
E
C
A
G
F
I'm,
just
thinking
of
it
in
terms
of
you
know
if
it
if
it
were
to
remain
r1
and
somebody
decided
to
subdivide
it
or
or
create
a
truce
subdivision
of
single-family
homes
that,
just
as
it
would've
was
an
r3,
would
create
a
major
disruption
of
the
of
the
hill.
I
mean
we're
kind
of
the
area's
subject
to
that,
no
matter
which
way
we
go
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
I
keep
thinking
about
is
what
what
are
the
positives
and
negatives
of
our
Warren
versus
r3
and,
what's?
How
does
that
relate
to
this?
F
C
F
G
A
A
A
Don't
know
how
but
I
was
a
mom
I,
don't
know
what
is
the
access
to
it?
If
you
could
what
Blackburn
rode
past
our
house,
your
house,
the
access
from
that
side
of
that
piece
of
property
may
say
if
you're
going
to
divide
that
into
two
five
Lots
in
their
access
instead
of
getting
an
access
from
South
Blackburn
or
from
the
vitam
access
road,
you
would
come
in
from
South
Blackburn,
but
at
the
top
at
the
Havel,
through
your
house,
through
your
driveway
I.
C
A
C
C
A
Ok,
where
are
you
have
any
questions
mayor
anybody
ready
to
vote
and
motions
on
the
floor?
Sir?
Okay,
all
in
favor
the
motion
is
to
rezone
to
r3
right
all
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
rezone
this
area
to
r3,
say
aye
all
opposed
the
birds
owning
this
thing
to
fire
three
say:
I
say
aye.
Okay,
so
we
all
say
we're
all
opposed
to
doing.
R3.
C
A
I
think
we
did
do
that
just
on
the
top
of
looking
at
it
briefly,
but
when
we
sit-
and
we
looked
at
all
the
other
things
here
because
you
came
in-
and
this
was
when
you
first
came-
we
looked
at
it
not
having
time
to
a
study,
didn't
go
out
and
look
and
figure
it
all
out,
but
that
was
we
said.
That
was
a
more
likely
thing
to
do
now.
When
we
say
it's
a
more
likely
thing
to
do,
that
doesn't
mean
that
we're
gonna
do
it.
A
A
A
B
A
A
E
E
Of
public
hearings
so
forth,
the
Commission
may
recommend
that
the
amendment
be
granted
as
requested,
or
they
recommend
the
modification
of
the
amendment
as
requested,
or
it
may
recommend
that
the
amendment
be
denied.
The
written
decision
of
the
Commission
shall
indicate
the
specific
reasons
upon
which
the
recommendation
is
based
to
include
the
basis
for
the
determination
of
the
proposed
amendment.
The
Ezra's
not
consistent
in
City
Comprehensive
Plan
resolution
from
City
Council
may
specify.
Well
anyway,
that's
yeah.
A
E
But
then
they're,
then
they
notify
the
property
owners
and
then,
after
the
hearing
and
the
reviewing
reviewing
the
recommendations
of
the
Planning
Commission,
City
Council
considers
the
recommendations
and
votes
upon
the
passage
of
the
proposed
classification
or
reclassification
zoning
map.
So
it
goes
to
City
Council
with
re,
whether.
A
Well,
mine,
ours
and
I
feel
that
she
feels
it's
a
rather
large
for
spot
zoning,
but
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
just
to
stick
in
the
middle
here.
That's
r1,
r1
r1.
This
is
all
r1
and
I
can
see
no
real
reason
for
changing
it
from
it.
I
mean
I
know
you
think
it's
a
real
reason
because
of
trying
to
sell
it
and
that,
but
we
can't
consider
that,
whether
you
know
we
can't
consider
the
developed
what's
going
to
go
there,
how
much
money
you're
going
to
make
or
whether
you
can
sell
it.
A
G
Trend
also
in
the
neighborhood
has
been
to
switch
it
from
R
3
to
R
1,
which
we
saw
a
year
ago
or
so.
But
it's
also
at
time
you
were
originally
before
us.
There
was
also
a
proposal
for
across
the
road
to
be
vote
when
R
3
that
since
been
withdrawn,
so
it
seemed
they
weren't
isolated
just
at
some
23
acre
plot.
G
The
primary
reason
is,
but
is
economic
in
nature
rather
than
because
we
don't
have
any
idea
what's
there
that
does
not
preclude
somebody
from
having
an
option
on
it
and
having
a
real
plan
and
doing
some
real
soil
studies
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
say
they
did.
You
do
a
PUD
in
any
zone
anywhere
within
the
city.
A
A
G
A
A
A
F
What
I
think
that
the
decision
is
difficult
on
that
property,
because
I
almost
voted
in
favor
of
the
rezoning,
because
the
idea
might
be
that
if
it's
an
r3
and
it's
developed
that
way
there
would
be
more
control
because
it
go
through
their
land
development
ordinance
as
opposed
to
split
properties
of
small
acreage.
That
might
not
be
subject
to
that.
But
there's
no
guarantee,
even
if
we
made
it
our
three,
that
it
wouldn't
eventually
be
subdivided.
Okay,.
A
A
A
That's
and
I
I
just
couldn't
see
when
people
come
and
say
they're
having
trouble
selling
something.
So
therefore
they
want
to
have
it.
That's
I
find
that
difficulty
I
mean
it
is.
It
is
hard
to
sell
them.
I
agree
that
a
lot
of
people
would
could
use
the
help.
But
you
know
minutes
of
the
last
meeting.
I.
