~ ,- BE TUESDAY FEBRUARY 10.."J.222. ,,/ There being no other visitors to be heard, C01.mcil resumed its regular order of business by receiving the fo11ovring recommendation from the Planning Commission concerning the rezoning of property (described in said recornmenda.tion) on Cleveland Avenue: The PlanningCornmission, follovIing a ,joint meeting with City C01Jncil on Jrnua1"lJ 30, 1953, has met t"lO more times in regard to the proposed rezoning from A-I Residence to B-1 B~siness of the property on the east side of Cleveland Avenue between Starling Avenue and Hulberry street Extended. Present at the first Conunission meeting by invi tc.tion were: Hr. Arthur Hooker, Judge E. H. 1,;a.cBryde, Hr. Lester Carper and 'Er. J. L. Gregory, Jr. The Corrrrnission held a lengthy informal discussion with these interested parties in order to give the Ci ty Council an amended recoJ!1.L'.endation which vlOuld be sa tis- factory to all parties affected by this rezoning. 'vIe wish to assure Council that every effort possible wa_s made to bring all concerned into accord for the best interests of all. Also, ll'Juediately prior to the Commission meeting held on February 9, 1953, at which an amended recommendation was decided on, members of the Commission met in th Hr. Arthur Hooker on his property to go over "lith him the thoughts "ihich he has in mind with regord to his property. The Commission wishes to present to Covncil the following amended recommendation which will take the place of their original recom- menda tion: 'vI e respectf"l111y recomTo.end that the portion of Dr. Clark's property which is shown on tho attached map, be rezoned from A-I Residence to B-1 Business. Also, i-TO recorm11end that original Lot 31, i:r:nnedia tely ad,j acen t to Dr. Clark t s property, be rezoned from A-l Residence to B-1 Business for a depth of 150 feet frOB the east right of way line of Cleveland Avenue. This rezoning will consist of Dr. Clark's property ond additional property to Hulberry street Extended. All members of the Connnission felt that bvsiness is a natural development for Lot 31 since it h'ls no future as a residential area. In leaving a "buffer striptl of approximately 86 feet iJ!1.mediately behind this property, the Commission feels that it will insure that Hulberr;r Street Extended i-Till not be threatened by having B-l businesses face on it since this street is only 12 feet wide end is not wide enough for business purposes. Also, in leav:.ng this ttbu~fer s-:.riptl the Cormnission feels that any objection from adjacent property owners would certainly be less valid since this strip would give them protection from business area encroachments. The Commission presents this reconunendation for further action by Council.
