Mr. Ty Gramling, Koehler Engineering 8 Land Surveying, Inc., appeared on behalf of the applicant to answer any questions from the Commission. The property owners recently received approval of a subdivision plat combining their lot, zoned R-2, with a small tract conveyed to them from the Dalhousie Home Owners Association, which is zoned R-1.

Mr. William Beggs, owner of both properties, explained that in December of 2013, the City rezoned a portion of his property to the C-2 (Highway Commercial) district at his request in order to conduct a mobile home sales business. He would like to rezone additional property at this time to accommodate space needed to display the mobile homes. Although no one appeared at the public hearing, staff did receive a phone call from a resident of the adjacent mobile home park, who claimed that several of the residents are opposed to the proposed rezoning, primarily due to traffic concerns. The � staff report recommended rezoning both properties to the C-1 (General Commercial) district because it would be possible to obtain approval to construct a billboard if they were rezoned to C-2. Mr. Beggs indicated that he has no plans to install a billboard, he just wants the property to be zoned consistent with the adjacent C-2 property that was recently rezoned by City of Cape Girardeau Planning &Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes May 14, 2014 Page 2 � the City.
