The recommendation of the Planning Commission was that this application be denied. His Honor asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak on this matter. Mr. David Goldwater, representing Mr. St. John appeared and requested approval of this application. Mr. Goldwater explained that this rezoning had been applied for before and that there was a definite need for the type of trailer living that Mr. St. John intended to install. He further explained that this would be the luxury type of trailer court and would be an added advantage to the property and the surrounding area. The Commission questioned Planning Director Bills as to whether or not the surrounding property owners had been notified. Mr. Bills explained that the property owned by the Twin Lakes Corporation was so expensive that there was little need to notify other owners but he did feel that those who had objected at the previous meeting should be aware of this application. Thereafter Commissioner Whipple moved this application be referred back to Planning Commission with t he recommendation that a new public hearing,be held and all interested property owners in the area, especially those who previously objected, be notified. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none.

Ensley Place Tract #1 from C-2 to C-1; and Lots 1 to 18 Block A, Ensley Place Tract #1 from R-3-T to R-3. His Honor asked if there were any objections. None were voiced.

The Commission considered the application of Louis Gold for rezoning of Lots 17 through 32, Block 5, Hawkin's Addition from R-4. to C-1. This application was denied by the Planning Commission. His Honor asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this matter. No one appeared. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted and the application for the rezoning of Lots 17 through 32, Block 5, Howkin's Addition from R-4 to C-1 be denied. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Consideration was given to the application of William Singleton for rezoning of Lot 11 through 17, Crestwood Homes Tract from R-4 to C-1. The Planning Commission recommended this application for rezoning be denied. His Honor asked if there was anyone present to speak on this matter. Mr. William Singleton, representing himself and the other owners of the property was present. Mr. Singleton explained that a Use Permit had been previously granted to the applicants to use two of each of the triplexes for professional use. He further explained that the reason for the application for rezoning was that they wished to expand and further that they would like to have this use more permanent in nature, which would be afforded by the rezoning. At this time the Commission questioned as to why the provisions of this particular use permit and others on East Charleston, namely the installation of off-site improvements as agreed upon by the individual applicants, had not been put into effect. It was ex­plained to the Commission that the installation of improvements had been deferred until a cash assessment district could be instigated and the whole project put in at once. City Engineer George E. Wade advised the Commission that this matter was on the agenda for this meeting and would be discussed fully at that time.
