One of-the first things t h a t council considered was the f a c t that a new business district was being established in the south end of town," said Beatty, “We tried to learn the, reactions of business­ men, Their interest was just fair, and it's the kind of situation that takes a great deal of effort to do anythihg about" At least three public meetings were held to discuss the proposed plan before the first reading of the proposed ordinance on May 4. 1953, Realty added that the council and planning commission are try­ ing to "establish something that Mill stay established for a while." They don't think it's a good idea to adopt a plan Hint may have, to be changed in a year or two. "Zoning makes a difference in laves a n d Insurance rates," ob­ jected a property owner. He was told that such rotes are based on valuation rather than zoning. Beatty emphasized the point that zoning restrictions won’t affect ex­ isting uses of property. In o t h e r words, if you*now have a store lo­ cated in a residential district, you won't have to close it, "The ordinance also offers any resident an opportunity to appeal from Us restrictions," lie pointed out. Bill Duncan, council member, told objectors that "there is no intention of this council to create hardships. We feel that certain tilings that might affect you are tilings that will move very slowly," The objectors agreed that there should be a zoning ordinance. One summed up their attitude when she said: " I can't see wby the town needs to expand, anyway." E. It.
