A public hearing was called on the question of rezoning Lots B and C, Section
Eleven of the Glade, from District No. 1, First Dwelling House District, to District No. 3,
Apartment House District.
A petition was submitted to the Council against this rezoning by residents of
the Glade area. Dr. Roger Feldman spoke in behalf of these property owners, as did
Mr. Howard Vestal and Ted Hirsch. These property owners stated that they purchased
their lots or residences under the belief that they were highly restricted residential
additions and they felt development of apartments would cause much undue traffic in the
residential areas. Mr. Bill Fitch, Developer, and requestor of this particular rezoning,
then withdrew his request for rezoning.
On motion by Councilman Rhodes, seconded by Councilman Davis, it was
recommended that the council accept Mr. Fitch's request for withdrawl of the rezoning
request. Motion carried.

House District, was approved. Motion carried.
