Calvin Taylor located the property on the map and pointed out the zoning and land use of the surrounding area; explained that at the Commission hearing held on the 21st day of June, 1966, Mr. Curtis George, real estate agent, had appeared representing the applicant, and had stated that this area is presently unoccupied and grown up in weeds; that the area is lacking in facilities such as are intended for this lot, and that the owner has plans to sell the property for use as a barber shop, beauty shop or a "gasoteria"; that three persons had appeared in opposition to the request and that no one appeared in favor. Mr. Taylor stated that 33 letters were mailed, and no returns received in favor and two in opposition, and that the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission was that the application be denied on the basis that business in this location is not compatible with the residential area and that it may tend to create a major traffic problem. Mr. Rafael Hinojosa, owner of Lot 13, Block 7, Temple Addition, appeared in opposition and stated that he and others residing in the neighborhood were opposed to the suggested change of zoning because the streets are too narrow; that there are no curbs, gutters, or sidewalks; that there is an elementary school on MacArthur Street, a kindergarten on Belton Street, and that accidents will most likely increase because of the increased traffic into the area. City Manager Whitney interposed two letters in connection with the foregoing application (1) H. Weisman Investment Company, opposing the request on the basis that it would be in violation to deed and subdivision restrictions, contrary to public interest or benefit, spot zoning and compounding traffic problems; (2) from the Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 20, 1966 Page 17 American Home Builders, Inc., opposing on the basis that it would be inconsistent with Deed restrictions and intended use of lots when originally platted, adverse effect on adjoining properties and homes thereon, and that the area is already adequately serviced with retail facilities. Mrs. Rebecca Gutierrez appeared in opposition for reasons already stated. No one appeared in favor of the foregoing request. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Dunne and passed that the hearing be closed. Motion by Wallace, seconded by McDaniel and passed, Blackmon, Dunne, McDaniel, Sizemore and Wallace, voting "Aye," that the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission be concurred in and that the application of Mrs. Helen Boyajian Isaac for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Lot 1, Block 2, Temple Addition, and a strip of land lying Northeast of said block fronting 25 feet on the Northwest right of way line of Sarita Street beginning at the Northeast corner of Block 2, Temple Addition and ex- tending 96 feet in a Northwesterly direction for the most depth be denied on the basis that business in this location is not compatible with the residential area and that it may tend to create a major traffic problem. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned.
