He asked if it would make sense to bring it all the way out to West <br /> Ten Road. <br /> Craig Benedict said that staff could discuss this further. <br /> Charles Bowman said that he has 33 acres and asked about the tax status. <br /> Craig Benedict said that when properry is rezoned the tax status does not automatically <br /> change. The tax administrator has put a rough draft together in writing about this issue. <br /> Tom Damell said that he has four pieces of property on Buckhom Road and has owned them <br /> for about 30 years. Since the 30 years, he has been told that it is going to be commercial. Everyone <br /> he knows on that road wants to sell their property for commercial. He said that there is no O or I <br /> within ten miles of this area. He wants to see high-density commercial. He said that he could not <br /> market his property unless it was zoned commercial. <br />
