Mayor Ben F. McDonald called the special meeting to order, and announced
the purpose of the special meeting was for public hearing on two zoning applica-
tions.
City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance.
Mayor McDonald explained the procedure that would be followed for the
hearings, and announced the public hearing on the application of J. W. Broughton
for a change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General
Business District on Lot 10, Baymoor Addition, being that property located on the
Northwest corner of the intersection of Baymoor Boulevard and Lawrence Drive.
Earl Goetsch, Senior Planner, located the property on the map and pointed
out the nature of the surrounding land uses and the present zoning; explained that
the applicant wishes to operate his plumbing shop along with the existing barber
shop in the existing building, which will be improved, and use the rear of the
building for storage, with sheds for truck parking being erected on the rear of
the property, and that there is already adequate off-street parking; and that the
recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that this request for "B-4"
General Business District be approved.
John Morrow, real estate agent representing the applicant, and the
applicant Mr. Broughton, spoke in support of the application on the basis that his
present property is being taken by Interstate Highway 37 right-of-way.
No one appeared in opposition to the application.
Mayor McDonald declared the hearing closed.
Commissioner Barnard commented that in a similar situation in another
neighborhood where there were residences across the street, the Council had granted
a Special Council Permit to allow the business operation with provisions that the
pipe and materials be stored inside in order to protect the neighborhood, and Mr.
Broughton stated that this would be satisfactory to him.

Motion by Barnard, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the application
for a change of zoning from "B-1" to "B-4" on Lot 10, Baymoor Addition, be denied,
and that in lieu a Special Council Permit be granted permitting the use of the
property for a plumbing shop operation with the provision that all pipe and
materials be stored and kept enclosed in a building.
Mayor McDonald announced the public hearing on the application of Omaha
Venetian Blind Co. for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District
to "I-2" Light Industrial District on property described by metes and bounds and
generally located between Lexington Boulevard and Parklane Unit #2 and extending
to an approximate distance of 460' to the Southeast and to the Northwest of Calvin
Drive.
Earl Goetsch located the property on the map, and explained that the
applicant had only requested "I-2" zoning for the rectangular portion of the
property which is approximately 236' nearest to Everhart Road, which is all that
the applicant owns, but that the Zoning & Planning Commission had advertised the
larger area 1n order to continue the existing "I-2" zoning along Lexington Boule-
vard to include the applicant's property, and that the recommendation of the
Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request for "I-2" Light Industrial
District be approved; and explained that all of this property will have to be
platted as the need for use arises.
Mr. Hawkins of the Omaha Company spoke in support of the application on
the basis that the present location of the company is being acquired for Inter-
state Highway 37 right-of-way, that the business is primarily retail appliances
but still does venetian blind work, and that he lives in the vicinity and is not
going to construct or operate anything detrimental to the neighborhood.
No one appeared in opposition to the application.
Mayor McDonald declared the hearing closed.
Motion by Swantner, seconded by Roberts and passed that the recommenda-
tion of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the zoning be changed
