and located as follows:
Bounded on the east by Hardy Avenue; south
by West 25th Street; west by the old RR /ROW;
north by the Shamrock service station and 7 -11

The Chairman outlined that the rezoning application was
filed by the property owner, Phillip J. Ness, on February 17,
1969, and that on March 4, 1969, seventeen (17) property owners
within 300 feet of the Ness property were mailed an individual
notice regarding the holding of said hearing.
Mr. Ness was present and outlined that under the present
C -1 zoning and his ownership for the past 10 years he had not
been able to utilize the property either through sale or
leasing, and felt that the M -1 zoning would be more feasible
and compatible in view of the municipal cemetery being located
directly across the street from said property. Mr. Ness
dial not indicate any plans of he, himself, utilizing the
property other than through lease construction.
Mr. Ness stated that in order to protect abutting property
owners up to a point of 300 feet he would have no objection
on the zoning of what could be approximately a 35 foot width
strip running North and South for a distance of 300 feet
parallel with Hardy Avenue to be zoned C -2 as a buffer
and running within the private property or 10 feet inside
the wall or building which could then be reserved for
storage or office space.
In answer to questions, Mr. Ness further stated that
all M- 1- manufacturing would be on the west portion of the
property facing the Rinker Red mix Concrete Plant, and
that he did not own any property west of the old railroad
right -of -way.
At this point, building set back requirements were
discussed and it was noted that the M -1 requires a 20
foot front yard with C -2 requiring none, and Hardy Avenue
right -of -way estimated to be 60 feet.
Appearing to voice objection to the rezoning were the
following property owners:
