The meeting was called to order at 7 :30 P.M. by the Chairman, J. Q. Galloway.
The. Chairman requested the board to consider Item 10 on the agenda first, in
order to accommodate Staff members present who needed to attend other meetings.
Mr. Knowles was present to represent a request for consideration of the
rezoning from MR -1 to a commercial or industrial zoning, an area south of
W. 25th St. on the city-owned abandoned railroad right -of -way to allow the
use of a monument sales. He said the property would be used for the manufacture
and preparation and sale of monuments. The area on the south side is zoned MR -1,
which would not allow the use. but the area on the north side is zoned RI -1 and
MI -2, which would be compatible.
Mr. McCall, the proponent who is interested in the possible rezoning, was
present and said he was thinking in terms of a manufactured metal building
and the cutting and sand blasting operation would be enclosed and the work
conducted inside. He said he did not believe it would cause any more con-
tamination than is already there.
Mr. Solon Teston was present to state, that as a resident of the area, he
would be opposed to the rezoning to allow industrial because even though
Mr. McCall might control dust and contamination, the area would be open
to other operations which might not follow his methods.
It was the consensus of opinion that the south side should not be considered
for rezoning, and it would not be good zoning to rezone a small strip, such
as requested.
The next item for consideration was a Public Hearing for a conditional use
of a Paint & Body Shop to be located at 2613 Orlando Drive in the GC -2
zoned district, represented by Robert Whitaker. The site plan presented
was a revised plan and all requirements were met, including permission to
utilize the public right -of -way for a railing and landscaping. There was
no one to speak in opposition. Mr. Barks moved to approve the conditional
use. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Barks moved to approve
the site plan. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.

Dept. that the parking area be paved, the driveway width to be 24 ft. wide and
the drainage approved by the the engineering department. Mr. Franklin seconded.

I & II, for a total of 97 units, to be located at Hidden Lake Drive & Live Oak

work with Engineering to make any corrections. After discussion, Mr. Franklin
moved to approve the plat with all necessary corrections made to satisfy the
engineering and zoning and any other code requirements. Mr. Barks seconded.
