5.7 A motion was made by Mr. Hildreth, seconded by Mrs. Smith, to recommend approval of the change. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. Chairman Swaim declared the public hearing open on the petition of Nathan J. Bell for a change in zoning from a General Retail District (GR) to a Commercial District (C) on Lot 11, City Block 223, located at 1946 Lamar Avenue. Jim Bell addressed the Commission stating that the property was located just west of the Chief Auto Parts store and that several inquiries about the property had been received that required Commercial zoning. He said the property on the north side of Lamar is Commercial and he wanted to be in a position to use the lot should a commercial type business desire to locate there. There was no one present in opposition and the public hearing was closed. Mr. McCollum pointed out that to zone this lot Commercial would create an incon- sistent zoning pattern on the south side of Lamar between 19th S.E. and 20th S.E. He stated it was difficult to argue against it due to existing Commercial zoning on the north side of the street but that the entire block should be changed rather than one or two lots. Following discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Davidson, seconded by Mrs. Smith, to recommend approval of the change. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. Chairman Swaim opened the public hearing on the petition of Donald Robinson for a change in zoning from a General Retail District (GR) to a Commercial District (C) on Lot 9, City Block 223 located on the southeast corner of Lamar Avenue and 19th S.E. Mr. Robinson was present and stated his reasons for wanting the change to Commercial were the same as Mr. Bell's inasmuch as their lots are in the same block, separated by one lot. He said he had no immediate plans for the property but wanted to better his position. No one was present in opposition and the public hearing was closed. Following discussion a motion was made by Mrs. Smith, seconded by Mr. Davidson, to recommend approval of the change. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. A motion was then made by Mrs. Smith, seconded by Mr. Davidson, to recommend to the City Council that public hearings be called to consider changing the remaining two lots facing Lamar Avenue between 19th S.E. and 20th S.E. from General Retail to Commercial. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. The Replat of Lot 1, Block 3 and Lot 1, Block 10, Town North Estates, was recommended for approval on a motion by Mrs. Smith, seconded by Mr. Hildreth. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. City Engineer Tompkins presented the Final Plat of Southwest Industrial Park along with his memorandum containing 21 exceptions which had not been resolved and recommended that the plat be tabled until the exceptions are taken care of.
