and to dope in the area. When asked if the large 2 -story home
diagonally across the street was a multi- family use, Mrs Dease did
not know the occupants of this home. She said that sometimes
people can't drive with so many transient selling dope, can't walk
down the alley. Transients are stealing fruit, and burglarizing.
Decent people are trying to raise children in this area.

stay single - family. There are quite a few elderly in the area. On
7th Street there is a duplex with people are constantly moving in
and out. The area residents are trying to rid what goes on on 7th
St.
Chairman Morris stated that this was a tough situation. on one hand
we have decent people coming into neighborhood trying to improve
the standards while on the other Planning and Zoning is trying to
evaluate the impact its actions may have on the crime rate and the
transient rate. Sometimes Planning and Zoning has to go on faith
with what the applicants say they will do to uphold neighborhood.
Staff's recommendation was for approval due to fact that there are
multi - family uses in the area.
Mrs. Stairs moved on approval. Mr. Dennison seconded. Mr.
Dennison commented that he did not see how a duplex could cause so
much trouble. If done properly, it should have a more stable
clientele. The addition to the building would make it much nicer
than it is. Planning & Zoning Commission cannot be responsible
for policing, but would like to give him the opportunity for the
duplex use. If done properly, could be an asset. Mr. Gray stated
that he grew up in the area and understood the problem. He will
try to have long term renters versus short term. He will require
at least a 12 month lease. All in favor of the motion. Motion
carried.
The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the
