Brett Banfield, 901 Woodcrest, owner of TGB Properties and developer of the property,
addressed the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council. Mr. Banfield presented
his proposed development concept with a brief overview of the project and reasons he felt
the rezoning should take place. He also stated that private market research had been
conducted and it was determined from that research that a mixed-use development would
be the best use for this property. He explained the project would be low-density
residential ·catering to "empty nesters" and would be a positive for the city budget.
Fred Kreh, 209 Dawn stated he had no objections to the rezoning; however, he is
concerned about having adequate fire protection. Mr. Kirk feels it is important firewalls
be required between the units in order to prohibit fire from spreading.
No one spoke against the request
