tural of some properties.
Sam Snead of Gid Brown Hollow said he wasn’t sure where one proposed change on a section of his property was looted. He was sure, he said, that a commercial holding of his was proposed for downzoning.
Snead wondered how proposed changes were determined. He also questioned the legality: "By what authority (can ordinance drafters) remove spot zoning?” he questioned.
Snead asked planners not to move to correct what they may consider zoning mistakes of the past. "We simply sweep them under the rug—no compensation, no justification,” he said.
In regard to commercial zoning, Attorney Doug Baumgardner spoke in behalf of the owners of Hillsdale Grocery and Bennett A Butler Assoc.
Baumgardner called their properties
"commercial,” saying the "pro-' posed ordinance designates both for agricultural zoning.”
He said his clients purchased the properties believing them to be commercial and that they pay commercial taxes.
"To deprive (these properties) of commercial zoning would be unsound, discriminatory and unfair,” he said.
AmissviUe residents Lorraine and John Early and Robert Bowers also expressed concern about downzoning of their commercial holdings.
