Mr. Fout presented the Commission several pre- liminary sketches of a proposed subdivision for their study. Mr. Fout felt the area could be subdivided into 23 building sites. Discussion ensued. Mrs. Romans stated the preliminary sketches had been submitted to the City Engineer, and the Engineer had stated a topographical map would be needed before that office considered the sketches. Mr. Fout stated the drainage was south to north. At Quincy , the drainage is from east to west; further north it is west to east. Mr. Fout also stated sewer lines were on both Quincy and Jason. Further discussion ensued; the Commission advised Mr. Fout to have an engineer prepare a topographical map of the area and work out a definite plan for the proposed subdivision and present it to the Commission. V. STREET VACATION CASE #8-63A Dr. VanBenschoten 3649 South Grant St. Dr. VanBenschoten was present to discuss his request to purchase a strip of City owned land at Grant and Jefferson. This request had been tabled at the June 5th meeting to g ive the Com- mission time for further study and consideration of the area. Dr. Van Benschoten stated he wished to purchase the 25 foot strip of right-of-way along East Jefferson to combine with his property at 3649 South Grant. He did not feel this particular strip land would ever be used because of Highway 70. He also is desirous of a T (Transitional) Zone classification for the area to enable him to construct a medical center. Mrs. Romans reviewed past zoning cases of this particular area , both for commercial and R-3 classifications. This area is presently zoned R-2-B and is proposed as R-2-B on the new Comprehensive Zoning Map. Most of the ownerships in the area are 50 foot frontage and would not be able to comply with the requirements of an R-3 District or a use other than residential in the T Zone District. Discussion followed; The Commission pointed out that if they were to favorably recommend to Council the vacation of this land, that in no way would they be committing themselves to any change of zone classification. Miles moved: Carlson seconded: The Commission recommend to City Council the 25 foot strip of City owned property be vacated, provided the purchaser agrees to stand all out of pocket expenses in connection with said vacation; the reason .for the recommendation being there is no apparent need for the City to continue ownership of this land, as it is not important for future plans and g rowth of the City. AYES: Carlson; Miles ; Rice; Touchton NAYS: None ABSENT: Hill , Love The motion carried unanimously. VI. LAND USE STUDIES Land Use Studies of Block 77, Sheridan Heights , and from the Grant-Sherman alley to Clarkson , from Kenyon to Oxford were shown the Commission. Discussion followed.

The need for bridges over the Platte River at West Union and West Dartmouth was thoroughly discussed. It was felt these two bridges would tie the City together, and with the extension of South Windemere from Belleview to Highway 70, would open every industrial area of the City for development. The Master Street Plan was discussed, and the need for new and modernized signalization was also considered. It was pointed out the Master Street Plan has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, as has the Parks and Open Spaces section. Mr. Hill was excused from the meeting.
