Seals concurred with these <br /> coments. <br /> Jlohr pointed out that Planning Commission clearly <br /> stated that this property is a transition sit. <br /> from RL to an RR area and the compromise agreed <br /> upon to sone this property Its sews very <br /> appropriate to Mohr and will support an Its toning <br /> recommended by the Planning Commission. <br /> Anderson also agreed with the Rs 'toning stating <br /> that it will "give it what it will used to be <br /> successful for the entire infill process.' <br /> Sackett is also in favor of the RR zoning and <br /> referenced petitions stating that in many cases <br /> people come to your door asking to have you sign a <br /> petition. •There are certain reasons why we arm <br /> allowed to vote by secret ballot and I think <br /> sometimes petitions give the impression that a lot <br /> of people are in favor of one thing or another <br /> when they may not be if they had the opportunity <br /> to vote by secret ballot. There is a lot of peer <br /> pressure to sign that (petition) if for no other <br /> reason but to get that person off your doorstep. <br /> I think the brat way people have to voice their <br /> opinion is to be here to talk, writ. letters or <br /> wake phone calls to your councilperson. Those are <br /> the most effective ways. I don't feel good about <br /> petitions although I do happen to be in favor of <br /> the/ petition.* <br /> Mohr stated that there is no compelling reason for <br /> Council to go against the desires of the neighbor- <br /> hood as occasionally the case may be wherein the <br /> best interest of the City as a whole must be <br /> considered and there have been tines when that has <br /> happened. aowever, in this case there is no <br /> compelling reason to go against that. <br /> Mayor Taman closed that public bearing and asked <br /> for a motion. <br /> Carnival moved that Ordinance 989, be amended to <br /> read R= Zoning.
