Reference: Rezoning of Blocks H and M of Central Park,
Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Block 229, FIRST ADDITION
TO OKEECHOBEE and adjoining parcel of 1.17
acres by metes and bounds.
Gentlemen:
I represent Mrs. Melba Louthan of Okeechobee whose home is
located on South Parrott Avenue adjoining the above referenced
property on which rezoning has been requested. Mrs. Louthan
desires to register her objection to the proposed rezoning on
the basis that:
1. Any change in the present zoning structure would
downgrade the property in this area.
2. There are more than 500 lots in the City of Okeechobee
with the present classification of R3.
3. To grant such zoning request may constitute spot zoning
and therefore may be contrary to law.
Mrs. Louthan urges your consideration of this objection and
request that the requested zoning change be denied.
