on at the Regular Meeting.
Application #371-3, Robert Callaway - Motion by Roberts, seconded by Bradley that
Tract A be zoned "B-4" as recommended by the Staff, that Tract B be zoned "A-1", and
Tract C be zoned "R-2". Five votes were cast for Tract A, Commissioners Lozano, Sizemore,
and de Ases "Nay" on Tract B and C, and Commissioner McDaniel abstained stating that he owned
property in the area and felt that he should not vote on the decision. A brief discussion ensued
and it was concluded that the applicant would be at a disadvantage to be given only a part of
the zoning requested. .
Motion by de Ases, seconded by Roberts with Sizemore voting "Nay", that the entire
application be denied, permitting the applicant to begin anew at some later date.
The resignation of Robert Sullivan, Clerk of the Municipal Court, was accepted with
regrets and it was agreed that Estela Tijerina would be appointed as Interim Clerk of the Court.
