The rezonlng request came from Mrs. Etta Bennett GUUland through her husband, Gary B. GUUland. During Monday’s public hearing on the matter It was stated the GlUllands wish to change their property at the IntersecUon of Shelby Rd. and Roxford Rd. from R- 10 to R-20 In order to build a "non commercial greenhouse.” “It’s Just a hobby,” Mr. GUUland commented during the hearing. ”Our flowers and shrubbery are being eaten by Insects and we must get them inside.” The greenhouse GUUland proposes would measure 48 feet wide and 06 feet long with four domes 12 feet high. The covering proposed Is polyethellne. Larry Billings, a resident of Ashley Park, which has Its entrance on Roxford Rd., protested the rezonlng "because I feel It would be detrimental to the neighborhood.” Billings said he did not object to a greenhouse, but did object to seeing the property rezoned from R-10 to R- 20. BUllngs asked if the codes director could read what Is aUowed under an R-20 zone. In essence the R-20 zone permits a number of Items Including cemeteries, mobile home parks and coUeges. Bluings said he does not think the GlllUands would do anything to detriment of the neighborhood, ’’but I am looking down the road to a time when the GlllUands may not own the property. Someone else who owned the property may want to take ad vantage of the wide variety of things permitted under the R-20 zoning.” It was pointed out that although the GUlUand rezonlng request asks for a non-commercial greenhouse there Is In fact already a greenhouse business being conducted on the property. It was also pointed out by A1 Moretz, who serves as secretary to the Planning and Zoning Board, that the board recommended to the city board that the request be denied. A petition was also introduced by the GlllUands on which 104 signatures were recorded, stating there was no objection to putting a greenhouse on the GlllUands property. Bluings said he didn’t think the peUUon was valid because It did not state that the property was being requested to be changed from R-IO to R-20. Before the board took action. Mayor John Moss stated the board had three options open to It; ap proval of request, denial of request or tabling the request. He said the petitioner had the right to ask permission to withdraw his request, which GUUland did. It was suggested that GUUland had the right to approach the city’s board of adjustment with a request for variance to permit the con struction of the greenhouse without asking for a zoning change. The adjustment board’s decision wUl be final. Attorney George Thomasson pointed out that should the city have taken action Monday night and had denied the GUUland request. It would have been at least six months more before the property owner could submit another rezonlng request.
