CASE NUMBER 1213 -79 5 September 1979 Page Two met -with these neighbors on several oceassions , and informed them that such possibilities certainly do exist but that they should all do it as a group Several attempts to accomplish this have been made, but not accomplished to this date* 4. The problem Js that the neighborhood is, of course, directly contiguous to County load B-2 and ex s t s as a small island of residential with cqrmerc ial and industrial on the west, commercial on the south, and crercial development on the east. It appears that man of the neighbors s realize k ha L. they would be better off in a better location. Mr. Cave shares these views and has indicated his willingness to cooperate with the neighbors' to achieve these objectives. The total tract could be redeveloped if the homes were to be removed; the tract would then consist of approximately 13.3 7 acres. T The land to the east (behind Audio King and the Anderson Paint Store) has. been planned to extend a road from the rear of that property westerly through the land to Fairview. This would, in our opinion, open up some. very valuable commercial land for which we feel a strong market exists d incentive, however, should come from the homeowners if they desire to make this change. 5, In the mean t li me , Mr. Cave has proposed to plat the land for residential purposes. The Commission and council may wish to question Mr,, Cave regarding his desire or ability to hold the land for an additional period of time if the neighborhood appears interested in making the conversion -to the commercial development. Hopefully the neighborhood will be well represented at the Planning Commission and Council hearings so that these a.lternatIve forms of . development can be well explored. .
