Stated he was, not aware of this meeting uxitil yesterday as were most of Ais neighbors, He would like to shelve this idea unt*il we get our thoughts together on this. John Spaeth, 2310 Mack Oaks Lame., I just -built a new $60,000.00 house. He stated this 300 feet of buffer zone is a swainp. He .suggested that, all the Commission would be doing would be to give the petitioner a flat and other industrial zoning., Let them start the industry over by Vicksburg. That 300 feet is not enough of a buffer. It is a nice area: and we have so much industrial area now in Plymouth: Gape.. Mintz., Asl-t d the Commission why they would eve,i consider multiple or apartment in an individual situation so close to an indiNri.dual home development.

Egan answered his questions and he then raised .a question about the buffer and the time factor, Claus Dekker'.; reit perplexed because he had sat in on 1.0 or 15 planning commission meetings and the Commission had turned down 1-1 zoning. He -encouraged his father --in-law to buy the lots with the idea in view that it would remain residential, He definitelyfelt the request should be denied. Ronald Berg, 2610.
