On APC Petition 2025-13 two emails were received by the Area Plan Commission office. The first was submitted by the adjoining property owner Samuel Smith located to the north of the property requesting to be re-zoned. They stated that they could not attend the meeting but wanted to voice their opposition for future single-family housing. Mr. Smith feels that it will be a distraction to the property that he now owns. The second email received from Tracy & Adam Smith, adjoining property owner where they shared their opposition to the rezoning due to their concerns of the driveway being close to their property, adding water wells could take water supply from their wells, and would cause flooding to their barn. Lester stated that Tracy & Adam approximately 2 years ago requested to do the same thing with their property that he is asking to do with his property. The commission discussed the concerns presented and moved forward with their vote.
