Mr. Bills stated that the Planning Commission felt that this would be an unwarranted intrusion of a heavy commercial use into a well developed apartment house area. Mr. Emerson of the Emerson Investment Company was present and advised the Commission that his company has a lease with the Hertz U-Drive Company which runs for more than thirteen years. He stated that Hertz would like to have an additional fifty feet so that they can construct a $100,000 building on this property. Mr. Emerson stated that all they actually need at this time is the rezoning of Lots 6 and 7 of Block 2, Meadows Addition. The matter was taken under advisement for final action later in the meeting. REZONING - Z-11-57 The Commission considered the application of Albert Lesky for rezoning of Lots 23 and Albert Lesky 24, Block 8, Meadows Addition from R-4 to C-2. Mr. Bills advised the Board that the Block 8, Meadows Addn.Planning Commission had denied this application on the basis that this reclassification is not justified and would most certainly result in continued and successive applications and even greater intrusions into this apartment zone. His Honor asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak on this application. No one appeared. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted and the application of Albert Lesky for rezoning of Lots 23 and 24, Block 8, Meadows Addition from R-4 to C-2 be denied.

No.1 Planning Director Bills advised the Board that the Planning Commission denied this application on the basis that this type of zoning by lots instead of by areas is basically inequitable. Mr. Bills stated that the prospective purchaser has indicated plans to put a hotel employee parking lot and gasolene filling station on this property, and the Planning Commission does not feel there is any justification for the construction of an additional service station in this area. Mr. Robert Bigelow appeared on behalf of the applicant, and requested approval of this application.

That provision be made for removal of all utilities from the land to be vacated.
