379 she was concerned with the value of their property. She did not have a problem with the single family dwellings, but she did have a great concern about the deed restrictions that this neighborhood would like for him meet. Ms. Rhodes said she would like to see the City of Paris require him to place those requirements on his property. Ms. Rhodes also said she had objections to the commercial section proposed by Mr. Moore without having access from Loop 286. Ms. Rhodes mentioned the parking situation along with the drainage. Jay Guest, 1815 34th Street N. E., appeared before the City Council stating that it appears that these people in this neighborhood are asking the City Council to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood. Mr. Guest presented photographs of the houses that the neighbors have been talking about. Mr. Guest said his main concern is the water on 34th Street N. E. that ends up on his property. Mr. Guest said the water comes from the northern area and it jumps the unmaintained city street, Center Street, staying in the same condition six months out of the year. Mr. Guest felt this represents a potential health hazard. No one else appeared, and the public hearing was declared closed. City Attorney Foster advised the City Council that the request is for the western 120 feet strip down 34th Street N. E. be zoned for Single Family Dwelling District, and a request for Planned Development - Commercial Center on a 200 x 250 feet section to the west of the proposed Single Family Dwelling District. City Attorney Foster further advised the City Council that they could take those two separate zoning matters one at a time or they could take them together. A motion was made by Councilman McWaters, seconded by Councilwoman Fisher, to take the items one at a time. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. A motion was made by Councilman McWaters to consider the Single Family Zoning District on part of Lot 5, City Block 318 first. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boyd. Councilman Clifford said he would feel more comfortable referring this matter back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a preliminary plan and a zoning change all at the same time, so the people will know what size lots are going to be put on this property. After further discussion, Councilman Boyd withdrew his second to the motion to consider the Single Family Zoning District on part of Lot 5, City Block 318.
