they are addressing the serious issue of drainage that would not have been addressed otherwise. Getting back to if not here, where, a couple years ago special needs housing that wanted to come into the area and there was and they ended up behind Weliever's and he has heard several comments they wished they had never put them there. They wished they had put them where they should have been to start with. Commissioner McGuire said that was the first he had heard of that. Commissioner Young stated there would be two lots, one lot would have 4600 square feet and one would have 4400 square feet. Mr. Holloway said that was right and that there are several mobile homes in the area as well. Commissioner Bryant said that was all the more reason they needed to be more selective for this area. Commissioner Crouch said there is several lots already cut up as stated. If you look at them you can see how small they are, this would be a residential dwelling and not a trailer. Mr. Holloway said the home would have a crawl space and they would change the restrictions and convenant to reflect this. Commissioner Crouch said this did make a big difference on the drainage and Mr. Holloway said it would. Mr. Kenneth Curry, 138 W. South, was here in January for the Board of Zoning Appeals and was against this because of the drainage issue. He was here tonight to be sure the drainage would be put in writing and how this would be taken care of. As long as there is a plan to get rid of the water he was not against it. Mr. Beikman asked if they put in that lot would there be a sewer easement and was the proposed retention basin over a sewer line.

Commissioner Bryant made a motion, second by Commissioner Ehrhart, to deny the request for a two lot minor plat. Motion carried 6-2. Next was Mr. Jerry Thomas, Assistant Pastor of Springhill Christian Academy, speaking on behalf of Pastor Mark Wright, saying they would like to do a rezone on the parsonage that is part of the Church. Basically he wanted to be sure the information that would be on this was still current. They would like to rezone from R-I to B-2, this has been a parsonage and now Crisis Pregnancy Care would like to purchase the property and use it for counseling. They had talked with Mr. Beikman and he said it would need to be rezoned. This is a preliminary function as they get the paper work ready to submit to the Commission. This is at 701 State Road 144, down from Casey's General Store. Commissioner Young asked if this was for the Church and Mr. Thomas said that eventually the Church would be doing that as well. They are looking at the possibility of selling the Church and they will need to build a new Church somewhere near by.
