J. Molina, 107 Westover (Lot 15), advised the Commissioners that he is still opposed to the proposed building. He stated the population to the area would be increased and he presently has a nice view out his backyard. Mr. Jack Hixson, 109 Westover (Lot 14), stated that all his concerns with security have been put to rest and he has no objections to the zoning change. Pis. Michele Campbell, 300 Dear Creek Drive (Lot 3) , stated that she feels good about the security and the additional trees, but is not comfortable with the apartments being added. She further stated that there is still a problem with overcrowding of the schools which also creates an abundance of traffic. She also stated that she has spoken with teachers at the school and they too are opposed to this addition as it would create overcrowding of the schools. Ms. Campbell stated that new apartments should be constructed on one of the several other sites in the City zoned for this use. Mr. Tony Florence, 113 Westover (Lot 11) , advised the Commissioners that the problem with the two (2) dead trees had been resolved and they had been removed. Mr. Keith Ashburn, 213 Westover (Lot a), stated his main concerns were with the traffic, children and the overcrowding of the schools. He advised that the Commissioners take this into consideration. There being no further discussion from opponents, Chairman Hill called for any discussion or questions from the Commissioners. Commissioner Tyson reiterated the same concerns regarding overpopulation, the inadequate supply of classrooms in the schools and that this zoning case is not in compliance with the ordinance and therefore moved to recommend denial of the zoning change request for Zoning Case No. 92-05.
