a discussion of the sanitary facilities, and Mr. Stansbury reported that Mr.
Carter had been reluctant to approve them as adequate for a family's use.

P&Z MEETING -- February 22, 1967
XII AUDIENCE CONflVMS
A. Pressed Expansion of Business District. A gentleman inquired as to the
present status of the rezoning. Mr. Hansen explained that the Assembly
has called for an ordinance to be written, and that a public hearing will
be held on it as required. He further explained that if objections are
received from the owners of at least 20 percent of the square footage
contained within the area to be rezoned and/or the area immediately
r, abutting it, a unanimous vote would be required of the Assembly to pass
the ordinance. If the ordinance is passed, the property owners could
then appeal the decision in court. Mrs. McFarland again vehemently
objected to the rezoning. Mr. Hansen stated that the purpese of the
rezoning was to provide for an orderly growth of the city; that this is
not the only area that will be rezoned, and that there will be objections
to other rezonings also. He suggested that the property owners who object
submit a petition to the Assembly so stating. He also explained that
anyone who could not attend the public hearing could object in writing
instead. There was further discussion with the audience participating,
and Mrs. McFarland continued her objections.
