Originally the strip of land was to be zoned residential. Residents of the area however expressed the desire to keep the zoning As a business area in order to keep their property values higher. Some of the residents of the strip had told the commission they bought property along Church Street and were aware of the zoning. They said a change to residential zoning would decrease the value of their investment. As a Compromise with the residents Shirley said the area will be zoned pm a planned Village Center District. That zoning primarily allows single and two family dwellings.

The change has come Shirley said at the request of residents of that area of Church Street. Shirley said another alteration in the proposed plan would allow Farmers in the agricultural districts to use their land for storage of equipment. A basically it allows Farmers to have some High ground in which to store their equipment.
