In connection with the pending item of Application #265-7, South
Texas Realty Company, for change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business
District to "B-4" General Business District on all of Lot 24, Block 5, Lex-
ington Estates, on which public hearing was held April 21, 1965, City Manager
Whitney explained that Mr. Whitley, owner of the Golden Dome Hamburger opera-
tion located on the property, had been contacted and the condition of observ-
ance of the thirty-foot setback on Moravian was satisfactory to him;_and that
an ordinance granting a special Council permit for his sign would be presented
later in the meeting.
in connection with the pending item of Applies -W=4565 -S, Dr. L. K.
Sherrill, for change of zoning from "R -1P" One -family Dwelling District to
"B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 3,
Retsina Grove, on which public hearing was held May 5, 1965, Mayor Pro Tem
Blackmon pointed out that inasmuch as it was determined at Work Shop that the
20% Rule does apply in this instance, that the ordinance will not receive
sufficient affirmative votes to be effective, and that Dr. Sherrill left the
meeting with the impression that "AB" Professional Office District zoning had
been granted, that action on this application should be deferred for Your weeks.
He suggested that the City Secretary be asked to notify Dr. Sherrill of the
situation, and see if she desires to have the proposed ordinance acted upon,
or whether she prefers to withdraw her application rather than have the prop-
erty burdened with a denial of a request for change of zoning.
Motion by Blackmon, seconded by Dunne and passed that action on
Application #365-8 of Dr. L. K. Sherrill for a change of zoning on Lot 1,
Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 3, Retema Grove, be deferred for four weeke.
