The first item on the agenda was a public hearing on the
requested rezoning of 2100 Lake Drive, from SR -1 to RC -1, rep-
resented by Mr. H. E. Long, who said he wanted the rezoning in
order to sell the property to be used for a convenience store.
Appearing in opposition were Rhonda Brown, Millie Pinto,
Lee Giddens, John Darby, Grady Wilson, Julian Johnson, Clifford
Johnson, Fleming F. Luke, Eva White and Cal Conklin. Mr. Conklin
presented a petition with 200 signatures, expressing opposition
to the rezoning. Mr. Knowles was present to speak in opposition
to the rezoning for the City administration and ask for re-
commendation for denial. Mr. Karns moved to recommend denial
because of the amount of opposition, and the fact there is no
immediate need for the rezoning. Mr. Bridges seconded. Motion
carried.
The next item on the agenda was a public hearing to request
rezoning of 2605 S. Sanford Ave. from RC -1 to GC -2, represented
by Frank Wigham, speaking for the owner, John Adams, who is
requesting the rezoning to put in an automotive repair shop.
The property in question is across the street from County C -2
zoning and other property owners in the area would request
rezoning, it would not be spot zoning. Mr. Royster moved to
table the item, Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.
The next item for discussion was a site plan for an addition
to Marriott Corporation at Persimmon Ave. and McCracken Rd.,
represented by Alan Williams. After discussion, Mr. Galloway
moved to approve the plan, subject to additional landscaping.
Mr. Gischler seconded. Motion carried.

be made of the area to determine the safety conditions and
the possiblility of a sidewalk.
The minutes of the Nov. 4th meeting were approved as mailed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
