FANNING BAUMGARDNER reminded the Supervisors that the Planning Commission had hosted a hearing on the Williams request and all 28 people who attended were opposed to the rezoning. Only one of the Williams heirs, Lewis Butler had attended that hearing and he didn’t speak. Attorney T. C. Williams had asked that it be continued, since he had a conflicting appointment. But the planners had already advertised the public hearing and decided to go ahead.
“We could debate this family situation for two weeks,” Pete Luke said. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said he didn’t think the law was fair, to stop at five children.
“The Williams have made a persuasive case for an exception, but not for a rezoning, and that’s what they’ve asked for,” Luke said. H. B. Wood, Herbert Foster and Clarence Barksdale agreed.
The Supervisors decided to send the request back to the planning commission and directed the attoneys for the Williams heirs and the county to get together and see if they could work out an exception that wouldn’t affect the entire ordinance.—Pekay Pettus
