He said he would like to have this area zoned for office buildings. He also pointed out the trash and debris behind the grocery store located directly west across the ditch from his property and that developing his property would i~tprove this area by screening devices at least.. He also called attention to the fact that he owns the epartnrent buildings across .the street south of this property in question and that the south side from the ditch to Buffalo Speedway of Bellaire Boulevard is almost entirely apartments or small com- . mercial establishments. The Mayors were advised that the Commission is at this time engaged in a study to update the zoning ordinance of the City of West University Place with special attention to peripheral property such as he owns, but could give them no exact time when it would be completed,. and it did not feel an application to rezone his property could be favorably considered until this study is completed.

Healy, into two (2) lots, each 50' x 150, each fronting on Am- herst, was presented for signature of the Chairman and Secretary.- This notice was not signed because the survey plat did not show improvements on the property. A letter from the City Manager stating that Mr. Marvin Springer, City Planning Engineer, would be in Bellaire,-.Texas on July 12, 1971, was presented to the Com- mission. Mr. Springers firm did the master plan for the City of Bellaire and pro- vided legal work for the revision of their zoning ordinance. Due to the fact that two members of the Commission will be out of the city at the time of Mr. Springers visit, it was decided they would not try to confer with him at this time and the secretary was instructed to so advise the City Manager by letter. The Chairman introduced Mr. Ronald Shoup, a resident and graduate. student at Rice University studying Urban Zoning. The Comiriission went into a lengthy discussion of the proposal received from Caudill, Rowlett&Scott, Architects, Planners and Engineers, to update the land use and zoning plan of the City of West University Place. The discussion covered cost, services to be furnished by the City, services to be furnished by the Planners, and emphasis on planning rather than revenue to City. Some members felt the proposal asked the City to furnish an excessive amount of information. It was decided that the Commission would meet again on Tuesday, July 28, 1971 7:30 p.m. at the City Hall to again discuss the proposal and make a decision as to acceptance of this proposal or present the firm with a counter proposal. Minutes of the regular meeting of the Zoning and Planning Commission on June 1, 1971, were presented and approved as submitted. With no further business to come before the Commission at this time, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned. ~'/ h rman Attest:: ~,~~~ Secretary
