It is zoned R-1 and is supposed to return to R-1 if he ever stops using it for three apartments. The promise was made that everything north of the highway would be R-1. I was on the council when that happened. Morgan: You mean if the station burned down we couldn't put in another one? Clerk: That's right. The lot would need to be rezoned to C-1 (commercial).

That would be changing the essential use. Schneider: I want to upgrade the property. How would that hurt Mr. Williams? L. Williams: There's no reason to change it. You don't have 15,000 square feet. Schneider: The lot is 85' x 135'.
