The property is on Airport Boulevard north of East 12th Street, and immediately to the east there is a cemetery. The applicant wishes to place a used car lot on the tract. The setback lines and size of the tract leave no room for a structure.

The church had indicated purchasing the lot and vacating the street, creating a much larger lot. MR. F. L. CONNER spoke in his own behalf, stating he wanted to use the lot for a used car lot. It was pointed out that "C" Commercial would permit many uses. Opposition was expressed by Mrs. 0. E. Brown.

The Director of Planning described this area on South Interregional Highway at Woodland Avenue on the west side. The area to the west is a very stable single family residential area. There are duplexes, "GR" General Retail, and Apartments. Access to property is primarily from Woodland and from south bound frontage road on I.H. 35. The concern of the staff covered two dead-end streets -- Fairmount Avenue and Fairlawn. The Planning Commission recommended culs-de-sac. MR. DICK BAKER represented the applicant for change of zoning on a 10 acre tract at the intersection of I.H. 35 and Woodland Avenue. Six and a half acres are referred to as Tract 2. It was recommended by the Commission as amended.

Jagger and Associates would submit a covenant that there would be only one curb cut on Woodland Avenue to the six acres zoned "B" Residence. On the "GR" General Retail there would be only one curb cut. The development would try to preserve the trees, and the lower section of the creek would be used as a green belt area. He proposed an environmental easement be created 25' on the center line of the existing lower branch of the creek and no trees over 3" in diameter could be cut. He would limit the number of units to 22 or 25 units per acre. The development would be under a special permit. Speaking in opposition to the zoning and development were MRS. ARTHUR EDWARDS, MR.

If the tract were subdivided, the set-back line would be deleted from the recommendation. A petition of protest was filed under Section 31B of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. W. T. Williams, Jr., represented the applicant, stating this was an odd-shaped tract, dipping deep into a large block of land. He described the zoning in the area "GR" General Retail which along with the frontage on Wheless Lane would not be conducive to residential development. There is a little sliver between this property and Wheless Lane zoned "GR" General Retail, and a large supermarket immediately across Wheless Lane.

DICK BAKER, representing the applicants, stated that GUY E. MORGAN and MRS. MARTIN ANDERSON (represented by Mr. Joh N. Coffee) could be considered together. MR. DICK LILLIE, Planning Director, gave a resume of both tracts, stating the area was mostly "A" Residential with a Day Nursery in Mr. Morgan's tract. Commercial zoning exists along I. H. 35, bordering the Anderson property. Improvements to I. H. 35 are involving frontage from the subject lots, bringing the northbound traffic on Elwood Road very close to the residences. MR. BAKER appeared on behalf of MR. GUY E. MORGAN, requesting "0" Office for Tract 1, and "B" Residence for Tract 2, explaining this is a large tract and when the surrounding area was subdivided, the land was owned by another and was not included in the subdivision, thus not a residential lot within the subdivision. The area is no longer suitable for residential, due to its proximity to I. H. 35. The Day Nursery has operated for years rather than as a single family residence. Mr. Baker stated the proposed use would be for Office along the Interregional, and the remaining portion would be for parking.
