There were several inquiries concerning the request including several calls received in opposition to the final plat. Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing. Stephen Miller of 906 Munson informed the Commission that he is not in opposition to the request; however, he is opposed to the fact that the neighbors were not notified of the meeting. The only notification received was a sign that was installed the Tuesday before the meeting. When the City is dealing, with an issue that affects people's health, happiness and daily life, they should be given the necessary information. Deidre Cannon of 903 Munson requested that no building be allowed to take place in the general area until them-:ighborhoodtraffic issues are resolved.
