Attitude of Property Owners: Twenty Seven (27) property owners within 300 feet of the
subject properties were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning
Department received one letter in opposition to the case. His main objection is
that there is not a need to change the zoning since the existing allows them to
build houses with 1 acre lots. He lists several successful 1 acre lot
subdivisions.
Additional Information: The purpose of this rezoning request is to build 17 new single
family homes to add to the Sable Oaks subdivision.
