The next item of business was a Public Hearing to consider the petition of Mr. Mike D. Lee for a change in zoning from a Planned Development-Multi- Family District (PD -b) and a Neighborhood Service District (MS) to a Planned Development -- Shopping Center District (PD -a) on Lot 2, City Block 299, located on the south side of Clarksville Street approximately 300 feet east of Johnson Woods Drive. Mr. Lee stated this was the property ter. Pass had originally proposed to develop. He presented his Site Plan which called for construction of a Shopping Center. A kcal -Mart discount store would be the principal tenant and had signed a lease for construction. A major super market chain had verbally agreed to build in the center also. Mr. Lee stated the development was proposed to be done in two phases. The site is heavily wooded and he proposed to leave all trees along the east and hest property lines, some along Clarksville Street and depending on the amount of grading required would try to preserve some of the trees within the parking area. There was no one present in opposition to the proposal. Joe McCollum advised the Comission that, as was the case on the John Pass zoning, Mr-. Lee's site plan was complete except for indicating drainage and utilities. Staff suggests recommending approval pending receipt of a completed Site Plan as required and continuing the Public Hearing until the November 3, 1975 meeting. Following discussion, Mr. Abbett made a motion to recommend approval of the zoning pending completion of the Site Plan giving special attention to preserving as many trees as possible along Clarksville Street and to continue the Public Hearing. Mr. Lynch seconded the motion which carried unanimously. The next item was a Public Hearing to consider the petition of Mr. Lonnie Kennemer for a change in zoning from a One - Family Dwelling district No. 2 (SF -2) to a General Retail District (GR) on Lots 6, 7, 0 and 9, Block 1, Wtyes Heights Addition, located on the north side of Lamar Avenue west of 31st M.E. Mr. Kennemer presented an Elevation Sketch of a Shopping and Office Village which he said would be built if the zoning were approved. He felt the building would fit in with the present land use in the area and would not be a detriment. He stated that no new building permits for one family residences had been issued on Lamar Avenue since 1965 and that residential development of the property was not practical. A petition signed by 18 area property owners stating no objection to the zoning was filed with the Commission. Mr. Tom Wells, attorney, stated he represented 26 area property owners who objected to the proposed zoning change. He outlined their objections stat- ing the proposal could add to the drainage problem in the area, devalue their homes and would in his opinion be spot zoning ". A petition signed by 23 area residents .apposing the zoning was filed with the Commission,
