The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Calliham and on motion

At the request of Mr. Richard Smith, Chairman Calliham moved to Agenda Item No.
4 - P&Z Case No. 3A-72 - A review of a final plat of Southwood Section 19, Blocks 2 and 3.
Mr. Smith inquired if he would be required to build sidewalks along Southwest Parkway
bounding his subdivision. Following a brief discussion, Commissioner Boyett moved that
the plat be approved subject to the ordinance regulating sidewalks and utilities (Subdivision
Ordinance) and the guarantee of completion. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Longley,
S
was unanimously approved.
Agenda Item No. 2 - P&Z Case No. 36-72 - A public hearing on a request for rezoning
Lots 4 and 5 of Block C of the College Heights Subdivision from District No. 2, Second Dwel-
ling House District, to District No. 4, First Business District.
Mr. Lewis Hovorak stated that he owned Lots 1, 2 and 3 of this block and that he was
opposed to this rezoning because he had heard that a hamburger stand was going to be erected
on this property and he did not think this was desirable next door to his residence. Mr. Hovorak
also stated that he spoke for his neighbor, Mr. Sefic, who owns Lot 6.
The Commission agreed to postpone action on this case until the next regular meeting
and until the owner or his representative could be present to answer questions concerning
this request. Chairman Calliham requested that Mr. Richards, the owner of the property,
be notified that either he or his representative should be present at the stated meeting.
Agenda Item No. 3 - P&Z Case No. 37-72 - A public hearing on a request for re-
zoning a 0. 155 acre tract of land located between Tract No. 2 of the second installment of
Carter's Grove Subdivision and University Drive from District No. 1, First Dwelling House
District, to District No. 4-A, Neighborhood Business District. Chairman Calliham stated
that this 0.155 acre sliver of land separates the west corner of the Reiser Neighborhood
Bussiness District request of September 5, 1972 from University Drive. At that meeting,
Dr. Reiser commented that he-was attempting to purchase the Luza corner and that he would
initiate a rezoning request when he purchased the land, which he has now done. On motion
by Commissioner Boyett, seconded by Commissioner Longley, the rezoning was unanimously
approved.
