t, , ' TUESDAY OCTOBER 10, 1972 In tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's report and recommendation dated October 10, 1972, Council called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted by Council at its forthcoming November 14th meeting on Mr. Ralph C. Lester's petition--filed with Council on August 8, 1972--requesting the closing and vacating of the portion of Hickory Street situated between Middle Street and Route 57 in the western section of the City. Included in the Commission's report was the recommendation that petitioner be required, in advance of Council's final action on this petition, to file with the City a map showing all property abutting the portion of the street requested to be closed, ownership of such properties, and the effect such closing would have on such properties. Also in tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's report and recommend- ation dated October 10, 1972, Council called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted by Council at its forthcoming November 14th meeting on Lester Lumber Company's petition (filed with Council on August 22, 1972) requesting the rezoning to "M-2" of petitioner's following properties: (1) the block between Franklin Street, Liberty Street and Liberty Street Extended; and (2) that tract of land lying west of petitioner's Jones Creek plant, bounded by a line 800 feet north of the north line of Commonwealth Boulevard to the west corporate limits of the City, the C&NW Railroad, and the west line of the "M-2" zone to the west of petitioner's present plant on Liberty Street. Upon recommendation of Colonel Walter E. Mather, Executive Director of the West Piedmont Planning District Commission, and noting that five of the seven govern- mental jurisdictions within the Planning District--as well as many allied agencies--have so endorsed, Council went on record as endorsing the formation of a Comprehensive Health Planning Council for the Planning District.
