TUESDAY JUNE 26t 1962 ,- Your Planning Cannnission at its meeting on this date gave further consideration to the matter of a new high school location approved by City Council subject to concurrence of your Commission. It is the feeling of the Commission that it must concur in your approval recognizing the fact that this is not an ideal location. The Commission was at a loss to suggest a more suitable location, however, it would like to recommend that the final agreement on the property contain a clause under which the property might be resold to the grantor at the purchase price for a reasonable length of time. The COrmUssion respectfully suhnits the above for Council's further consideration. After reviewing recommendations recently submitted, involving the removal and/or relocating of certain on-street parldng meters in the central business district, and after hearing from Hr. Leon Glohman (of the Citizens' Parking Conunittee) on this subject as well as-by letter-from Hr. George Black (of leed's Music Center), Council directed that only certain of these recanrnendations be presently effected, viz., those verbally specified in its recent viewing of the streets and meters involved. In connection with the requested vacating and abandoning of a portion of an unopened street known as Sunset Drive, for which petition was filed wi th Council on May 22, 1962, by Attorney Frar.k I. Richardson, Jr., (counsel for George L. Nease, Helen W. Nease, Harold P. Williams, and Dorothy S. Williams), Council appointed Bessrs. J. E. Jones, R. A. Henderson, Jr., and Clarence C.
