Chairman McKibbin called the meeting to order.
.t The reading of the previous minutes was waived.
Mr. Aronson, developer of Academy Manor, appeared before
ZE the Board in regards to the zoning and /or rezoning of Blocks
cl� 73 and 78 in the subdivision for a shopping center and parking
0 area.-plus a multiple family zone to facilitate a few apartments.
After considerable discussion, it was moved by Mr. Karns,
seconded by Mr. Johnson and carried that the following be re-
commended to the City Commission for their approval and action
to zone or rezone, whichever the case may be:
Block 73, M. M. Smith's Subdivision to C -N (Neighborhood
Shopping)
Block!78, M. M. Smith's Subdivision to R-4 (Multiple Family)
The above recommendation was based on the facts that these
two blocks face on McCracken Road to a railroad right -of -way and
a fruit packing house; thereby making this property less desirable
for residential lots. Also, it was borne out that approximately
331 lots will be developed in this subdivision and across the
street on the other side of Grapeville is another proposed
colored subdivision of Knox homes. Therefore, the feasibility
of a shopping center would be warranted.
0 The discussion on a traffic study for the downtown area
was deferred until the next meeting in order that the members
14 could give more thought to it; and with the idea that Police
a Chief Williams would be able to attend.
The Board then discussed the fact that on April 10, 1961
Mr. Phillip Boyd appeared before the City Commission and re-
quested that his property be rezoned to commercial with
U) relation to his present op eration of a beauty shop on the SE
Q corner of 25& Street and Elm Avenue.
Due to the fact that the Board had previously denied the
Cb rezoning request and the City Commission had set up a Public
Hearing for May 8 1961, on the rezoning, the members were in
accord that a joint meeting should be arranged and held between
a the Zoning and Planning Commission and the City Commission.
0 Thereupon, it was agreed that Chairman MoKibbin would write a
letter to the City Commission regarding a possible joint
meeting to discuss the concepts of the two commissions on zoning
end planning; and, request that the Public Hearing be withheld
