r brought out the concern of many of the residents about the trucking operation Mr. Gentle has at this location. He said the noise from the trucks coming and going was disturbing. Grace Fendley, 2630 Pine Bluff, Edna Gardner, 135 27th N.E. and Jake Agnew, 2625 E. Price each voiced objection to the MF -1 zoning but were not opposed to Mr. Gentle using the house he had built. No one else spoke on the matter and the public hearing was closed. The Commission discussed the possibility of replatting the lots to conform to the code but determined that the two structures were too close together to provide standard Lot sizes. It was suggested that 2F zoning would solve Mr. Gentle's problem and remove the fears of the area residents that more structures would be built on the property. Following discussion, Mr. Nutt made a motion to recommend Two Family Zoning District (2F) for Lot 7 only and allow Mr. Gentle to connect the two structures by a carport or garage. Mr. Davidson seconded the motion which carried 6 ayes, 1 nay with Mr. McMonigle voting nay. Chairman Swaim declared the public hearing open on the petition of James W. Farris for a change in zoning from an Agricultural District (A) to a Commercial District (C) on an 8.62 acre tract of land located on the east side of Loop 286 S.E. between Leigh Drive and Lamar Avenue. Mr. Farris was present and advised the Commission that the property was opposite the Mirabeau Shopping Center and just south of the Big Tex Feed Co. He said the Loop frontage was inappropriately zoned Agricultural at this time. He said that while he had no definite plans, the property would be developed for business use and that a tract this size would require a lot of planning. There was no one else present to speak on the matter and the public hearing was closed. After discussion, Mr. Nutt made a motion to recommend approval of the petition. Mrs. Battle seconded the motion which carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. Chairman Swaim declared the public hearing open on the petition of Monte Moore for a change in zoning from a One Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to a Commercial District (C) on Lot 8, City Block 222 -B located at 69 - 27th N.E. Mr. Moore addressed the Commission saying that his property was adjacent to Commercial zoning on the west, south and part of the east side. He said he was seeking the same zoning as was on the adjacent land. He said he had purchased the property as an investment and felt the Commercial zoning was proper for it even though he would have opposition to it. Bobby Gage, representing his grandmother, Mrs. M.A. Gage, spoke in opposition to the change saying that Mrs. Gage and other elderly residents on 27th N.E. had lived in the area for many years and were unable to sell and move. Their property values would be hurt by Commercial use he said and the noise and traffic would be bothersome.
