Motion seconded by Mr. Johnson and carried. Official complaints by several residents of the Wynnewood Sub- division in regards to a resident operating a "home occupational shop ", or fix -it shop, in the ear porte of his hose late in the evening, brought about a request from City Manager Knowles to the Zoning amd Planning Commission to rezone that section of the Wynne- wood Sub- division presently zoned as R -1 to an Rl -B. Due to the fact that the Rl -B zone permits no less than 800 square feet of living area, and most of the homes in this area will comply, plus the fact that it would not work a hardship on Mr. Hay Shoemaker, present developer in this area, Mr. Harris moved that the request for rezoning as stated above be so recommended to the City Commission. Notion seconded by Mr. Karns and carried unanimously. The previous request on consideration of rezoning that area be- tween 7a and 91 Streets, on both sides of Magnolia and Palmetto Avenues, from am 9--1 to an 8 -2, which the board had deferred action on at their last meeting, was brought up for final discussion and action. It was the consensus of opinion by the board that the old - fashiom, two -story homes eventually "go down hill ", and out of ne- cessity for income or re -sale purposes, usually develop into apart- ments. With this in mind, Mr. Morgan moved that the above rezoning be so recommended to the City Commission. Motion seconded by Mr. Lee and carried unanimously. The tabled matter from the last meeting regarding auto wreaking or junk yards, and their.inalusion or exclusion from the Zoning Ordinance, was brought to the attention of the members.
