A request had been filed through the Department of Community Development by the Girls Softball of Paris, Inc., asking that a determination be made as to the pro- per zoning classification for a concession building they proposed to be located on the premises owned by the Oak Park Methodist Church. In cooperation with the church, two girls softball fields had been developed on the west side of the church's pro- perty at 27th S. W. and Austin Streets. -- The Planning and Zoning Commission had considered the matter at its last meeting and had recommended to the City Council that concession buildings and restrooms be con= sidered as an accessory use facility with parks and playgrounds and should be allowed in those districts in which parks and playgrounds were permitted by the zoning ordi- nance. Rita Dozier and Donnie Erwing, associated with the Girls Softball of Paris, Inc. were present and emphasized the need for these facilities in connection with the soft- ball program for the young women of the community. Mayor Brunette called for a recommendation and a reading of a resolution by the city attorney.
