Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held at the office of the City Com-

area of Banford, Florida, some of whom have lived here for many years and
hope to continue living here for many more years, respectfully submit ~hia.
petition of protest in opposition to the proposed re-zoning of the Bouth
side of Geneva Avenue or 25th Street from the Pig 'N Whistle to McReynold's
Drug store from residential to commercial retail, for the following reasons:
1. We feel that by re-zoning in such a piece meal method as proposed, would
result in eliminating any desire for the ~rther development of the property
in question for houses on those lots on which businesses might not be esta-
blished, and those unoccupied lots would remain vacant for an unknown du-
ration, and in effect, nothing of a real progressive nature would be achieved,
and deprive: our neighborhood of future homes.
2. Once this property is re-zoned it would not be possible to restrict cer-
tain businesses which might become nuisances and objectionable to the under-
signed residents even though the business might be lawfully established under
the zoning ordinance of Banford, Florida. An illustration of a current nuis-
ance is the out door Juke box at the Pig 'N Whistle which is almost a nightly
nuisance to the residents living nearby and those living several blocks away.
We want to avoid any similar arrangement in the future. This is not to be
construed as opposition to the Pig 'N Whistle itself, but only to the loud
playing of their Juke box at night.
3. We are further opposed, to the rezoning of this property because of siz-
able investments many of us have in our individual properties, and because
the rezoning might bring about a decrease in the value of our property and
possible result in a financial lose in She event we were forced to sell
due to the nature and intolerableness of some businesses which might be
established on the property in question.
We the undersigned respectfully petition the City Commission of Banford~
Florida, to deny the application for the re-zoning of the south side of
Geneva Avenue or 25th Btreet from the Pig 'N Whistle to McReynold'$ Drug
Store.
The Chairman next announced that the Commission would be glad to hear from any intereste~
parties in favor of the proposed re-zoning, but no one present spoke in favor of it.
Thereupon after careful consideration and in view of the foregoing petition of protest,
Commissioner Btemper moved, that the proposal to re-zone the property on south side of 25th
Btreet between Park Avenue and Banford Avenue be declined.
Beconded by Commissioner Martins and carried.
The Commission then adjourned the Public Hearing and proceeded to handle the business
of the regular meeting.
Monthly reports of Btreets, Sanitation, Health, Water, Police, Fire Airport and Library
Departments for month of December 1950, submitted and examined.
Financial statement and statement of revenues and expenditures for month of December
1950, submitted and ex~mined.
Bank statements in all accounts for month of December 1950, properly reconciled, sub-
mitted and examined.
On motion of Commissioner Btemper. seconded by Commissioner Martins and carried, cur-
rent invoices and payrolls for month of December 1950, as evidenced by Voucher Nos. 5560 thru
5703, were next approved subject to approval of the Finance Committee.
Mr. B. A. Allen, owner of the Yellow Cab Company, next appeared with reference to the
rates for taxi-cab fares provided in City Ordinance No. $26, with maximum fare of 35~ per pas-
senger transported to or from any point north of 25th Btreet, 505 south of 25th Btreet, and
50~ to or from any point between 1:00 o'clock A. M. and 6:00 o'clock A. M. He advised that he
was unable to operate his taxi-cabs at a profit under the existing rates and requested the
Oommisslon(to revise the zones for taxi-cab fares and to establish east and west zones, in
order that the taxi-cab operators may increase their rates for transporting passengers to and
from certain points in the 0ity.
Thereupon after considerable discussion,
