:84- TUESDAY AUGUST 22, 1972 needs of the area--certain proposed lines should be of larger capacity than those required just to serve present needs, although bids have been received ("good" for thirty days from August 10, 1972) for either of the two approaches. Council concurred in the recommendation, if satisfactory arrangements are worked out between the City and the property owners and the Council authorizes the extending of said lines, that the larger lines should be installed, looking toward serving the area on a drainage hasis (viz., Mulberry Creek Drainage Basin), cost of which is estimated to be some $94,000.00, of which property owners appear to be agreeable to paying some $80,000.00. Council suggested that the Public Works Director continue to explore this proposal with the property owners and bring this matter back to Council in the form of a satisfactory contractual agreement. Meanwhile, at the request of owners (Messrs. Robertson and Pritchett - see Council Minutes of June 27, 1972) of the new tobacco warehouse nearing completion within the area and their agreement to underwrite the cost of a 12" water main extension for a distance of some 1,300 feet to serve this warehouse, said extension and cost being a part of the total plan hereinabove described, Council authorized the extending of said water main to serve said warehouse. Through Mr. James B. Hall, Real Estate Manager, Lester Lumber Company requested an ''M-2'' zoning of its following properties to accommodate expansion and changing needs of petitioner, which request was referred to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation: (8) the block between Franklin Street, Liberty Street, and Liberty Street Extended; and (b) that tract of land west of petitioner's Jones Creek plant, bounded by Commonwealth Boulevard (Armory Road), Carolina & Northwestern Railroad, and the City's west corporate limits.
