Motion: Second: Bertrand-to approve Weesner Commissioner Bertrand stated that the 6-6-05 special meeting minutes captured the concerns of the public who spoke in opposition of this rezoning. He stated he recognized those comments made but he also recognized as the current zoning the developer could build at a higher density than what the zone they are requesting. Commissioner Brakebill stated he felt it was important to realize this property has been vacant and zoned at MFR­ M for 28 years. The Commission recognized that this request would decrease the density allowed and would result in a development which would be closer in nature to the surrounding Single Family residences.
