Now is the season for preparing new planting areas, garden spots, and new lawn installation services. Along with bushhogging services, we now provide fine grading, garden tilling and new and old lawn installation services. Last season we had many request for the larger trees. In years past the largest trees provided in our area were in the range of 8-10’ potted. Last fall Terry and I had the opportunity to pick larger trees from the fields in the range of 3’ in diameter trunks for our spring stock. These trees have just arrived, for your inspection, with more to come. LARGER TREE VARIETIES Bradford Pear 3” trunk size-height 10/15 ft. Red Sunset Maple 2" trunk size-height 10/15 ft.

demanded equal notification of people supporting their cause. Later in the meeting, Hassler said that about 3,000 signitures have been collected by people opposing the ordinance. Nonetheless, both young and old residents ranging in style from quoting Bible scripture to cursing, explained their stand on the issue. The anti-zoning concerns centered on the cost of implementing the additional level of governmental control, how the commission can decide the size requirements of a house, the need for permits, losing consitutional rights, if the ordinance could really stop a landfill or junkyard from locating here, non-conforming use classification allegedly designed to put the small business out of operation and others.

ONE RESIDENT who opposed the issue questioned that if an ordinance forces a company out of business, “who’s going to pay my salary.” Those speaking for zoning centered their comments on protecting the land for future generations, that zoning is the lessor of the two evils and that paying a pennit to make an addition on a piece of property is better than not knowing what may go in next door among other arguments. “Zoning is a device that our Putnam County family can adopt for orderly growth and development,” said Bessie Rector. “And the plans can be revised.” ANTI-ZONING feelings centering on allowing a few people (on the Plan Commission) to have the power to establish the ordinance

Revised drafts of the ordinance will be available ten days before the meeting. When the commission will again consider a proposed zoning document, the same public hearing will take place before a final vote is taken.
