Mayor Pro Tem Blackmon stated that the Council would now consider Item "h" on
the agenda.
City Manager Whitney presented a request from Mr. Tom R. Swantner relative to a
zoning application which was granted March 16, 1966, subject to the erection of an
8 -foot solid fence along Linda Vista Drive, and stated that since that time it has been
determined that a redwood, cedar, or cypress fence would be impractical for this 1,411
foot fence; that it would be impossible to keep the top of the fence level for that
long a distance, and asked that the Council amend the action and permit the substitution
of a hurricanetype fence with redwood slats woven into the mesh.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Dunne and passed that the Council amend their
action of March 16, 1966, on Zoning Application #266-5, Tom Swantner, to permit a
six-foot chain link fence with redwood slats in lieu of an 8 -foot solid fence as
previously specified.

and Consolidated Investment Properties for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family

of way line of Sarita Street beginning at the Northeast corner of Block 2, Temple
Addition and extending 96 feet in a Northwesterly direction for the most depth.
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

American Home Builders, Inc., opposing on the basis that it would be inconsistent with

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.
