volves 86 acres instead of the original 186 acres, and that along with this re-
quest for rezoning, the Whispering Trails Subdivision map was filed. The map was
denied by the Commission because it did not conform to the rezoning they have
recommended.

the area as directed by the City Council and has reiterated their previous recom-

declared the hearing open.
Mr. Eugene Cook, Civil Engineer representing Tri-County Builders, spoke in
opposition to the R-l-B-20 zoning and urged the Council to consider R~i-B-15 zon-
ing, which would be agreeable to the developer, for the entire 86 acres.
Mr. Sidney Jarboe, Bonita; Mrs. William Spies, Jr., Allen School Road,
Bonita, and Roland DeFere, Bonita, recommended that the Council follow the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission and rezone the property R-I-B-20. No others
