regarding the proposed project. A few questions were asked of the applicant.

that the neighborhood is already too congested.

Benson is not in favor of the rezone and the proposed development because the
neighborhood is already too congested.
Mark Stringham, 2069 E. Pepperwood Drive, stated that he is not in favor of PUD zoning.
