Mr. Shelton, Director of Code Compliance, reported that Frank and Sandra Keatts had petitioned to rezone 2.51

nothing to add. There was no opposition to the petition. Mr. Stowe closed the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
During the discussion, Mr. Stowe asked Mr. Keatts if he had measured to see if the setbacks were adequate to
allow for placement of the mobile home in the footprints of the old mobile home. Mr. Keatts stated he had not
checked the setbacks. Mr. Stowe then stated the setbacks were inadequate to allow for placement of the mobile
home in the footprints of the old mobile home and several of the neighbors had spoken to him and were in
opposition to the rezoning of this property. A motion was made by Mr. Motley, seconded by Mr. Welborn, to

Agricultural District, to make the zoning consistent with the adjoining parcels of land. Claude Reynolds was
present to represent the petition. He stated he wanted to rezone these parcels to A-1 to make the zoning
consistent with the other parcels of land he owns. There was no opposition to the petition. Mr. Stowe closed
the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. A motion was made by Ms. Mease, seconded by Mr. Harville, to recommend the
