Mr. Hughes spoke at some length as to the history of the zoning
changes of the past two years in the southern section of the city.
He cited the need to rezone the present propert� from C -T zone to
a C -1 zone due to French Avenue being a commercial highway.
Mr. Perkins then requested the above change due to the same reasons.
Mr. Charles Morrison, acting as spokesman for the Dreamwold resi-
dents, requested that the Zoning and Planning Commission leave the
requested property in the C -T zone in order to preserve the resi-
dential value of the property within the Dreamwold Sub - division.
He reminded the Commission that the residents were given this under-
standing at the time the C -T zone was create E d in that area.
