R. Davis, presiding; Messrs. Hannah and Halbert. Messrs. Taylor and A. G. Davis were absent. The Board considered the several applications which were submitted at the time of the regular meeting on February 11, 1854, at which time no official action was taken due t~~ lacii of a quorum. Mr. M. L. Osenbaugh, Owner of Lot 2, Block 42, West University Place lst Addition submitted a reques"t thro~zgh Attorney George Banks for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to permit a 20 unit multiple housing unit to be erected on said lot. The Board was unanimously in favor of recommending denial of this request as in their opinion such amendment woL~ld constitute spot zoning. Consideration. was given to the request of Mr. Warren S. Hinkle and Mr. Sweeney for permission to erect a Root Beer Drive-In stand at the corner of Sunset and Kirby Drive on Lct 18, Block 3, Evanston Addition which is zoned for cc~*mnercial purposes. It was the opinion of the Board that this request does not constitute a zoning problem. The application was referred to the City Commission for action. A letter was received from Mr. Carey Williamson, representing the West University Baptist Church, requesting permission to move a two-story frame building from the side of the new structure tc a temporary location on Milton Street across from the city's equipment storage barn which space is new used by the church as parking area. The Board advised they were sym- pathetic with the church's ambitions and requirements and decided to table .the request in hope that a better location in accordance with gocd zoning could be worked out in the next few weeks. In ~*iew of the fact that the new building will not be completed until June or July, 1954, it was the Board's opinion that this would give time to study the matter and possibly more practical arrangements could be made rather than moving the building onto lots zoned for a single family dwelling. Members of the Board stated they were more than willing; to confer with Mr. Williams and the Church Committee in an effort to work out satisfactory arrangements. A letter was received from Mr. Homer McCallan, Owner of Lot 2, Block 93, West University Place 2nd Addition, located in the 3600 Block of Bissonnet in which he took exception to the fact that no recommendation was made by the special Zoning Advisory Committee for rezoning the property along Bissonnet where his lot is located. In view of the fact that the Committee did recommend possible limited commercial development for the lots on Bissonnet between Buffalo Speedway and Wakeforest, the Zoning Board unani- mously declined to make a recommendation in favor of dezoning Lot 2, Block 93, West University Place 2nd Addition, because it would constitute undesireable spot zoning.. Mr. Carl Illig requested by letter that Lot 4, Block 2, Bissonnet Place, fronting on Bissonnet be considered by the special Zoning Advisory Committee s~ and included in the area recoimnended for dezonin~T to permit multiple family dwelling units. ^he Board did not see fit to make such recommendation as this would constitute spot zoning. With no further business to come before the Board at this time, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned. CHAIftMA1~3 SECR~' Y 1 1
