July 7, 1998 Town Council meeting. Agenda Topics-SR144 (property now known as Morgan Co.

He then made the statement "what is planned could fall in the B-2 classification"! He is obviously not being up front and honest with the Plan Commission, and is withholding information that he feels would be undesirable to the Commission, Council, and residents of this area. In his attempt to get this property re-zoned Mr. Holloway also said the main concern of the residents opposing the B3 zoning was the fear of a tavern etc. on this property, and B2 would solve the problem. He also had changed the original request for two plats up to five plats. We do not know what he may try to confuse us and the Town Council with during his appeal on July 7.

He will also use the fact that the Plan Commission approved B-1 that same night for a business across the highway. (concerning that business---Attorney Office) The Town Council must be made aware that the attorney office that received approval from the Plan Commission was operating for about a year illegally and was notified of their infraction and that they must go through proper channels to reqriest rezoning. The attorney, Susan Neely, defended her position stating she had been miss-informed by the Mooresville Town Hall as to the location of
