Mr. Smotherman expressed his belief that rezoning was the best use for the property and stated that he had faith that Mr. Swanson would deliver a good product and had a good track record of working with neighbors on his building projects.  January 31, 2019 Page 10 Mr. Martin espoused his belief that change was inevitably coming to this area and that he supported the project.
