� , <br /> M�NUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING HELD DECEMBER 18 , 1974 Page 8 <br /> � <br /> Art Tourangeau of Smith' s Bay Texaco wondered why <br /> � his property could not stay commercial. With the <br /> � new residential zoning there, even if his business <br /> was removed, the property is not large enough to be <br /> + two acre as the area is to be zoned. Mayor Searles <br /> noted that his use would continue as a non-conforming <br /> � use. <br /> � Bill McQueen, who owns the lot between A-1 Rental <br /> • and the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Navarre, <br /> inquired into the rationale in changing this from <br /> � commercial to residential. The property on all <br /> sides is commercial or institutional . <br /> � Frank Wagner stated he opposed the rezoning of his <br /> � property. Wagner stated that his present insurance <br /> company would not cover his operation if it were re- <br /> � sidential . He feels there is no benefit to the <br /> • City now or in the future by this change. <br /> ,� Don Hagen stated he opposed the rezoning of his <br /> commercial property.
