Mr. Jack Chapman of the Board of Trustees of St. Anastasia Church presented a petition signed by 66% of the affected property owners (not including the church, School District #423, and the City of Hutchinson) stating they would not object to the proposed rezoning. He stated that the church board has not been able to dispose of this property since their location was changed, that its maintenance has become a financial impossibility, and that if they cannot sell the property it will have to be abandoned, which means the buildings and grounds will de- teriorate. Hutchinson Planning Commission - 2 - August 21, 1967 Mr. Chapman further stated that rezoning of the property would allow a sale at the present time to interested buyers and would place the property on the tax rolls for the benefit of the City of Hutchinson. Mr. W. T. Richards, representing the prospective buyers of the property, stated some consideration had been given to converting the school to an office building, but that no specific use for the complete property is known at this time. He assured those present that no business would in any way detract from the area or decrease property values. Affected property owners, who had received notice of the hearing, stated their objections as follows: 1. This would constitute spot zoning. ("Blockibusting") 2. Do not approve of general business in a residential area. 3. Believe it will depreciate the value of adjoiW-gproperties for residential purposes. 4. There is sufficiHnt business property available on 4th Avenue NW ,to accommodate those people looking for business locations, without enroaching on residential areas. 5. Some stated they had signed the petition, believing the property was definitely to be used as an office building. If no definite use was in mind now, they would not have signed. Motion was made, seconded and carried to close the hearing at 8:35 P.M. RIVERSIDE ADDITION PLAT - as developed by D. K. VandeVere. Discussion of width of -road and cul-de-sac.
