rected.

Mayfield, 2818 Hulbirt, E. L. Horne, 2815 Hulbirt, and Mrs. Pearl L. Sanford, 1402

was a completely residential neighborhood, and that there vas no need for the pro-
posed funeral home as evidenced by a letter submitted from J. B. Flowers of Jackson
& Flowers Funeral Home to the effect that his business has never been overcrowded.
No one else desiring to be heard, Mayor Pro Tem Swantner declared the
hearing closed.

Mayor Pro Tem Swantner announced the public bearing on the application
of Messrs. Wesley Walker, Ralph Rose, and Frank Davis for change of zoning from
"A-2" Apartment House District and "B-4." General Business District to "I-2" Light
Industrial District on a rectangular tract of land fronting on 25tb Street between
Morgan and Buford Streets and being a portion of the Tyre Mussett Tract more fully
described by metes and bounds.
Mr. Anderson located the property on the map, and pointed out the land
uses in the area, and submitted that 2 written returns were received in favor of
this application and none against, and that the recommendation of the Zoning &
Planning Commission was that it be approved subject to 1) Construction of a solid
6 -foot fence adjacent to the front property line along 25th Street; and 2) Filing
of proper plat.
Milton Walton, attorney, representing the applicants, spoke in favor of
the application by explaining the existing land use and ownerships of the proper-
ties extending through the block with frontage on both 25th Street and Port Avenue
with split zoning which hampers proper development and use of the properties; re-
quested that the condition for the filing of a proper plat be amended or interpret-
ed to mean that each individual property owner involved file a plat of his proper-
ty so as not to withhold the zoning of any of the other owners, and that the re-
quirement of a solid fence be amended or changed to require a planting strip on
the basis that there is presently a chain link fence along the property at the
back of the apartment houses and that a solid fence construction might tend to
interfere with the adequate policing of the properties. The applicants present
in the audience expressed their agreement to an acceptable screening of the indus-
trial property from the apartment zoning.
Mayor McDonald excused himself from the meeting, and requested that the
minutes reflect that he concurred with the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning
Commission and voted in favor of the change of zoning.
There followed discussion among the Council with respect to the filing
of plats and the fencing of the properties in question.
No one else desiring to be heard, Mayor Pro Tem Swantner declared the
hearing closed.
