""11II e ~ 76 8/23/71 I 2. Plqnning Commission Meeting of August 9, 1971 a. Recommended denial 'of zone change for Roger Bourland, R-3 to C-2 Mr. Bourland has indicated he would be out of town, and has requested Council to postpone this item. Staff recommends postponement. b. Byron Nelson, recommended denial from RA to M-2 Manager explained location of the property and that it is primarily single- family residential. Mr. Nelson has requested use of the lot for open storage of construction material and equipment. Planning Commission recognizes that at some point in time there will be a freeway constructed south of Elmira Road somewhere in the area. At that time, the zoning north of the freeway will probably be single-family residential and the Planning Commission felt to allow this additional industrial would be undesirable. e Byron Nelson, 328 Arcadia, said he had attended the Planning Commission meeting, and there was not much he could add that hadn't already been said. c. Recommended approval of street vacation, 400 feet of Spring Boulevard, 700 feet south of North Shasta Loop (Larry Hirons) I This requested vacation is for the purpose of realigning Spring Boulevard and exchanges one right of way for another. d. Recommenged denial of park vacation request, located in Second Addition to Willis Heights, east of Knob Hill Lane between East 35th Avenue and East 36th Avenue. This property is known as Willis Park and the matter came to the Planning Commission as the result of a request by property owners in the vicinity that something be done with the property by returning it to private ownership or assuring it was better maintained: At the Planning Commission hearing there were a number of neighbors who abut the property who felt the park should be maintained, and that they could maintain it in reasonably acceptable condi tion. City felt costs of maintenance were minimal and that it should be retained as a city park. Planning Commission recommended denial of the requested vacation. Francis Benton, 3575 Knob Hill Lane, said neighbors would be willing to mow the lawn. He felt it should be left as it is. Mayor Anderson suggested action be postponed until Council can view the property. City Manager said it was his understanding the Council had expressed a desire I to view this property and the others requesting rezoning, before any action was taken,by the Council. Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the above items be postponed pending an opportunity for viewing by the Council. Motion carried. At this point Mr. McDonald left the meeting. E.
