Person appeared before the Board at this time to register a complaint against Stoney's Jewelry and Loan. Mr. Pierson claimed that the interest rate charged was too high. He was advised by the Board that since he had a complaint pending in Municipal Court, no action could be taken until a decision has been rendered by said Court. At this time Mr. Ed Schmidt appeared before the Board concerning the build­ing area restrictions in the Jubilee Tract, formerly known as Herr Estates Subdivision. Mr. Schmidt stated that it was his understanding and the understanding of other property owners in this vicinity that the Commission would impose a minimum building restriction of 1200 square feet in this area. Mr. Schmidt further stated that this was the reason that the pro­perty owners that originally protested the proposed rezoning of Herr Estates Subdivision in May of 1953 had consented to withdraw their protest, but that the minutes of the Commission had never shown this restriction. 5-5-54
