Remonstrator Joe Gray, who owns nearby property, objected to the rezoning petition, maintaining it would result in “strip zoning ” Gray fears blanket rezoning would open the area up to incompatible commercial operations in a residential area. “I have no intentions to stop him from developing his land . . If he requests a planned development unit with all the restrictions, it <the professional service facility) will be an asset to our community." Gray admitted. Gray was also concerned about the two curves on SR 13. north and south of the property, would result in traffic accidents. After closing the hearing on the case. APC member Dee Stiver said he felt rezoning the land would- ruin a “nice residential area." He doubted the financial advantage of a commercial zoning change, saying. “Its going to cost . a lot more to get it in shape for commercial than residential.
