from am'R -1 to that of C-2 Lots 8 and 10, block 14. Tier 6= being the
northeast corner of 15th Street and Elm Aveaaues With this rezoning it
would then be feasible for Mrs' Cameron to operate a printing shop, for
which the property was bought.
It was discussed to some length that the three abutting corners at
this intersection were already housing commercial ooancernsi namely,
Patrick Fruit Company, Qatchel's Looker Plant, and Sanford Cleaners. Mr*
Shoemaker informed the board that he and the Building Official had reviewed
the specifications or plans on the proposed building and so far they were
in order* Mr. Shoemaker also told the board that he was providing for ten
(10) off - street parking spaces* It was brought out that Mrs Cameron bad
also purchased property running east to Myrtle Avenues namely, Lot 4, which
was originally the Tyre home Mrs Faville pointed out to the board that
Lot 7 contains the home of Mrs* Hughey and Lot 8, an abutting vacant lot
is also owned by here

property Since Mrs Morgan felt that it was in line, he moved to rezone
Lots 6 and 10 to a C -2 zones At this point Mr* Barnes requested Mrs Morgan
to reconsider his motion by pointing out that it would make more uniform
zoning and round out this corner by including Lot Be Therefore, Mrs Morgan
ammended his motion to include Lot Be Motion to rezone'to a C-;2 zone on
Lots 8, S, and 10 Block 14, Tier 6, was seconded by Mrs Karns* Notion
carried unauimou
Also, it was the consensus of the board that it be recorded and for-
warded to the City Comoiiseion, with the above reoo=sndation, - "that they
felt this request was justified in the fact that the other three corners
at this intersection are zoned commercial, and existing commercial buildings
are contained thereon, and by including Lot 8 this would round out the
corner and conform to more uniform zoninge However, if there should be augr
controversy over Lot 8, it is requested that all consideration be given to
the rezoning of Lots 8 and 20*
Since Mrs George Andrew Speer notified the office of the City Manager

but not multiple family homse.
