are some areas that were difficult to rezone, they have abided by law on publication
for public hearings and have had several work meetings. In some areas it is difficult
to rezone because of the present use, but the BOA could effectively change zoning by
variances on use of peroperty creating mixed zones. The goal of the Zoning Commission
has been primarily to protect residential areas. Mr. Haarr then introduced Gary Hill,
