Kuehne, Chiairman City Planning Commission Littlefield Building Austin, Texas Dear Sirt I am advised there is somo attempt being made to change the city woning law in order that beer and liquor may be sold adjacent to the new right-of-way obtained by the State Highway Department for Lamar Boulevard. I am sure that you know that the regulation of businesses along the now highways leading into Austin is one of the principal reasons why the State Highway Dopartment has interested itself in county woning, which we feel should be an extension of city zoning. I feel sure that I represent the feeling of the officials of the State Highway Department when I say that they feel that such businesses aforementioned would come under the category of objectionable practices. Yours very truly, /s/ D. E. H. Manigault District Engineer District Fourteen The public hearing on the proposal of the City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particulars: To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change same from "A" Residence District and "C" Commercial District to "C-2" Commercial District: Blocks 1 and 2, Pecan Grove Addition, City of Austin, Texas, which was continued from the last regular moeting was then reopened.
