NEIGHBORS From 1A on both the east and west side of Katherine "there's nothing but houses." He also called at- tention to storm drainage prob- lems in the area and said the city could prepare to spend ma- jor dollars on storm drainage if storage buildings go up in the area. -2B9Y {1ORIVIL) 8%, ATEN ASE TY ALY, ASFA ERI eg $A AN $e { NN 3 he ARPER SRELR 3) £5 : £7) { ZONING From 1A jects 29 years ago but that he bought the facility in 1993 and upgraded the apartments which rent for $315 to $475 per month. Robinson pointed out that the apartments are within the city's extra territorial jurisdiction and at the time that Hutchins pur- chased the apartments he had understood it was zoned for multi-family dwellings. Hutchins said he had never been advised by the city of a change in zoning what occurred when the city annexed the area. Hutchins said that 45 of the 50 apartments have been reno- vated and airconditioned and at some time in future years he might expand if there is need for more housing. "Mr. Hutchins bought the property when it was not in the zoning jurisdiction of the city and has spent time and money in developing it," said Robinson. "Low income people often get a bum rap and I have seen that these apartments have a better clientele than in previous years and Mr. Hutchins is making im- rovements,” said Houze. "He has definitely improved the property and face it, the city made an area when it initially zoned the property. Let's correct in" Guyton questioned if there were certain restrictions placed on the property and if those stipulations and conditions fol- low the deed. Guyton asked Killian to re- search the deed and find out if a playground had been stipulat- ed. Houze said the playground concept was irrelevant to the is- sue. "His apartments are zoned R-6 or single family, do we tell him to tear them down?" "I'd feel better if the neigh- bors of this property were here tonight," said Ballew. She said the item would be on the agenda of Tuesday's City Council meeting and urged neighbors to have their say on the Eoeaning proposals. spin so PB wos
