Corah, 3644 South Cherokee, wrote to the Planning Commission requesting that consideration be given to vacating the south 30 feet of West Nassau Avenue , which lies between South Fox Street and the west line of the Fox-Galapago alley. If, in the opinion of the Commission, the right-of-way should not be vacated, Mr. Corah requested that consideration be given to the installation of an "18 foot lane" rather than the standard width roadway, and that the grade by set in order that he could proceed with construction on his property to the south. The Planning Director stated the property had been viewed by the members of the Planning Commission on September 25 , 1965. Mr. Touchton entered and was seated with the Commission. Mr. Corah's request was reviewed and discussed. Memorandums from the City Utilities Director, the City Engineer, and the Chief of the Fire Department were read. All memorandums opposed the vacation of West Nassau Avenue. Chief Woods also indicated in his memorandum that the present 60 f oot dedication was needed to provide adequate maneuverability for the fire equip- ment. Mr. Carlson stated he had received a call from Dr. Milligan stating he did not feel it was the right time to change the width of the street. It was pointed out there is property available to the east of Dr. Milligan's residence which would accommodate the construction of another ~elling. Mr. Rice discussed the need for a cul-de-sac on West Nassau Avenue. Discussion ensued. Mr. Fullerton stated he could see merit to the request; however, after reviewing the recommendations of the various Departments, he would be reluctant to vacate the street, or decrease the required street width. Woods moved: Touchton seconded: In view of the recommendations of the City Utilities Director, the City Engineer, and the Fire Chief, the request for the vacation of the south 30 feet of West Nassau Avenue west of South Fox Street be denied. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Corah stated he f elt the denial o f the requested vacation showed poor planning on the ·part of the City. He requested the establishment of g rades and profiles on the property on South Fox and West Nassau, and also on the property on Cherokee in the 3600 block. He pointed out that the grades were changed in the 3600 block on South Cherokee, and there n ow exists a very serious drainage problem. Mr. Corah asked how the City could be held responsible for such changes? Discussion ensued. Mr. Corah also discussed the need f o r full street develop- ment on West Nassau Avenue. It was the feeling of the Commission these problems were within. the jurisdiction of the City Engineer's Department , and advised Mr. Corah to talk to City Engineer Waggoner. IV. MRS. MORRISON 3435 S. Marion CONDITIONAL USE Nursery School CASE #15-65A September 22, 1965 Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Jones were present to present their request for approval of a Nursery School at the above address. Nursery Schools are Conditional Uses in an R-3-B Zone District. Mrs. Romans pointed out that across the street to the east there is a rest home and a mortuary, and that the area is zoned for multi-family development. Mrs. Morrison presented a list of signatures of residents within 100 feet of the site; one resident to the immediate south of the site would not sign the petition. Mr. Rice asked Mrs. Morrison the age of the children she planned to care for, the hours the school would be open, and the number of children she would be caring for? Mrs. Morrison stated the ages would be from 1 to 5 years; the hours would be from 6 A.M. to whenever the parents wanted to pick the children up ; and she would care for 10 to 15 children. Mr. Parkinson stated he felt an opportunity should be given residents of the area to voice an opinio~ on the proposed Conditional Use. Mr. Carlsonstated the people were contacted by Mrs. Morrison when she asked them to sign the petition; if they had been actively opposed, they would have been present to voice their opposition. Mr. Fullerton stated they might have been aware there would be a meeting, but he doubted they were aware of the time or place of such meeting. Discussion ensued. I I I I I I Page 879 Parkinson moved: Fullerto n seconded: The subject be tabled and residents of the area notified that the sub- ject will be discussed at a future meeting. AYES: Fullerton, Parkinson NAYS: Woods, Rice; Touchton; Carlson The motion was declared lost. Discussion ensued. An attempt was made to call the resident who refused to sign the petition to invite them t o the meeting t o voice any opposition to the proposal. The phone number given in the directory is no longer applicable. A check of the ownership of the property as liste d i n the 1965 assessment records indicated that the party living in the house to the south of the subject property is not the owner. Further discussion ensued. Touchton moved: Rice seconded: The Conditional Use of a Nursery School at 3435 South Marion be approved. The motion carried unanimously. The Commission felt a more definite rule of procedure should be established for the approval of a Conditional Use. It is presently the responsibility of the applicant to obtain the signatures of the residents within 100 feet of the subject site. The Commission felt that some notifi c ation from the Planning Office should be sent to these persons notifying them of the time, place, and date of the meeting at which the requested Conditional Use will be con- sidered. Th e Planning Director was instructed to draft a rule of procedure for such Conditional Use approval ; such rule of procedure will be an addition to the Rules and Procedure Manual of the Commission.

The Public Hearing for rezoning of the southwest corner of Highway #70 and South Logan Street will be held on that evening. The meeting will be at the new City Hall, 3400 South Elati Street.
