The neighborhood has 75 homes.
More than 60-residents signed a petition to oppose the request. During the meeting the developer answered questions from board members and took input from the public.
“They didn’t come forth with a secondary plan if they get denied the rezoning so that just didn’t seem kind of well prepared on their side of it and then he kind of pointed out that if they don’t get the rezoning they’re going to walk away from the whole project” said Lewis.
After a full discussion, commissioners made a motion to decline the rezoning.
“We were happy i could tell everybody from our neighborhood was happy and the people in the surrounding neighborhoods that came tonight” said Lewis.
