Thursday, October 17 1963
Regular Meeting - 8:00 P.M.
City Commission Room - City Hall
Members present were: Messrs. McKibbin, Karns, Harris, Bush,
and Smith. Also present were City Manager Knowles and Building
Official Yelvington.
Chairman McKibbin called the meeting to order.
Reading of the previous minutes was waived.
A Public Hearing was held on the application of Mr. B. E.
Ratliff for the upgrading and rezoning of his property from that
of M -1 light industrial to C -2 general commercial to allow the
enlargement of his present business operation at 118 S. Myrtle
Avenue.
The legal of the above property being: SE 1/4 of Block
3, Tier 6 and /or Lots 6, 7, and 8. Area being: the northwest
corner of the intersection of 2nd Street and Myrtle Avenue.
Four persons appeared in behalf of the hearing. Mr. Melvin
Siskind voiced himself as being a property owner within the 300 feet.
There was no objection voiced by those present regarding the re-
zoning request.
Mr. Ratliff stated that he wished to expand his present
operation on to his property to the south whereby he proposed to
put in an alignment shop and /or more front end machines. He further
stated that on the north side of his present building he has one
complete lot fenced in that is used for off - street parking.
In discussing the area, the Board felt that the upgrading
of the zoning of this particular property was justified whereby
it would be extending the present C -2 zone thereby keeping within
the same zoning as the applicant's present business is in. Also,
at the same time, this would round out this C -2 area with a.conforming
structure and /or business.
It was noted by the Board that there were only approximately
two to three homes in this area and there would be no greater jeopardy
in the C -2 zone than the M -1 whereby in the C -2 zone the residences
could be maintained; however, not enlarged.

Chairman McKibbin asked if there was any further consideration
by the Board regarding an observation from a local resident regarding
possible rezoning from residential to C -1 in the area of from First
to 4th Streets and from Oak to Laurel Avenues.
Moved by Mr. Harris, seconded by Dr. Smith and carried that
the informal request be denied at this time.
The Chairman brought to the Board's attention that Mr. Merle
Warner, local realtor, was checking regarding any feasibility of
rezoning to commercial an area adjacent to Clarence Wynn's property
on the east side of Sanford Avenue south of 25th Place whereby a
beauty shop could be established. The Board took no action at this
time.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
