_ ~f TUESDAY OCTOBER 14, 1980 - Mr. Pannill presented a copy of plat or map, as recorded in Map Book No.3, Page 1, in the Henry County Circuit Court Clerk's office, on which areas (such as those proposed to be reclassified) were designated as "Park" or "park land" by Lanier Farm, Inc., a designation Mr. Pannill and other individual property owners, who purchased their residential sites in Druid Hills and Forest Park from Lanier Farm, Inc., have interpreted as Lanier Farm's promise that such areas will remain parks or park-lands. Furthermore, Mr. Pannill suggested that these areas be classified as "Open Space Temporary" in order that various individual property owners will be afforded a public forum before development takes place. Meanwhile, Council was informed that Mr. and Mrs. George E. Morris, Jr., (of 1002 Cherokee Court) and Mr. Jerry Rosenbaum (of 1131 Cherokee Trail), who could not be present at this meeting, desire that the record reflect their opposition to the Planning Commission's recommendations in this matter. As to the reference hereinbefore by Mr. Pannill to Lanier Farm's "Park" designation and Lanier Farm's implied promise that such designation will remain unchanged, Council determined that any dispute over such designations is outside of Council's jurisdiction and, therefore, rests between the property owners and Lanier Farm, Inc., with Council noting with appreciation the fact that, through the cooperative efforts of Lanier Farm, Inc., some questions on this point have been resolved with a number of individual property owners. After some discussion among members of Council, upon motion (duly seconded and unanimously carried), Council accepted the Planning Commission's report and recommendations and amended the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map in accordance therewith. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council deferred action on a proposed ordinance which would regulate the business activities of itinerant dealers in precious metals and jewels, pending the re-writing of said proposed ordinance to include suggestions made by Police Chief Terry L. Roop as well as to impose no undue restrictions on the only permanent resident dealer of such objects in the City, viz., Jack's Coin & Specialty Shop (625 Memorial Boulevard), owned and operated by Mr. Jack Shaw who--with legal counsel, Mr. Ebb H. Williams, III, Attorney at Law--appeared
