44 TUESDAY AUGUST 24, 1965 By written report dated August 16, 1965, the Planning Commission reaffirmed to Council its May 10th recommendation that the petition requesting ItC-2 Commercial" zoning of the north side of East Church Street, between Starling Avenue and Oakdale Streets, be denied, which initial recommendation Council took under advisement pending a review by the Planning Commission of this matter. The Commission stated that there is as yet no substantial evidence of a need for the rezoning as requested and, too, that in its opinion it does not have the authority to place upon the petitioners any requirements other than those set forth in the zoning ordinance as a condition of rezoning (this latter portion having to do with the reported willingness of the property owners to observe a set-back not required for such zoni~g, relating to Council's expressed desire to widen this block of the street for which additional right-of-way would be required). As to the legal aspects of such a conditional rezoning, i.e., imposing a set-back not required in the City's Zoning Ordinance, Council referred this matter to City Attorney Cubine for his opinion. With reference to the complaint filed at Council's August 10th meeting by residents of Firrt Street, viz., broken sewer main, City Manager Hirst and Public Works Director George W. Brown reported that, while the sewer line grade is adequate, some minor repairs correcting a few faulty joints in the line are needed, as well as the replacing of a man-hole in the street and the replacing of a small section of the line, all of which are scheduled in the Public Works Department's work-program. Council was reminded of its re-scheduling its first meeting in September to September 7th.
