Mr. Edward G. Webster met with the Commission.
Preliminary plan of rural subdivision "Rinke Garden litres",
tract of approximately 70 acres bounded on the north by Base Line
Road, and on the East by Uilaro Rprings Road, described as Ni., SH4/
NWJ and Fol. N1, NVIt, Section 5, T1S, R12W, having been previously
approved by the County Planning Commission, it was also approved by
the City Planning Commission.
Thorough discussion was Made of preliminary revised subdivision
"Thrift Addition" by H. F. Buhler, Fourche River Land Co., 19 acres
more or less lying south of V1. 12th Street, just east of "Highland
Park" FPHA Housing Development, described as Sa, NEC NE, Section 7,
T1N, R12W, which had been submitted by Mr. Buhler. It was decided
that the Planning; Commission will not approve until a plat conforming
to adjacent streets and data recapitulated in an accompanying letter
is presented in proper form. Opposition was voiced to the plat
submitted as the streets in the planned subdivision do not tie in
with streets in surrounding subdivisions.
Discussing letter from Mr. S. Herbert Flare, it developed that
the matter of securing the service of a consultant had been discussed
at the previous meeting, your secretary having been absent from the
Sm
city at that time. Desirability of immediately securing a draftsman
to collaborate and assist Mr. Webster in the Herculean task of
assembling necessary data that will be definitely required for
revampi-hg .existing master plan and subsequent rezoning, impelled
the Commission to first acoept Mr. Davis' offer to submit the matter
to the Council tonight although it had not been passed on by the
Finance Committee. After further discussion it was decided to hold
the matter in abeyance as it might meet with opposition as an
ordinance would be required and it was more certain of favorable
action by the Council if it came up in regular manner.
Mr. Frank Fulk addressed another letter to the Commission
relative to seourin6 location for the Safeway Stores and again stated
that they were fealino their way and letter received was relative
to a location on the NE corner of 12th and mine Streets, Lots 7, 8, 9,
Block 15, Forrest dill Addition. No action was taken as some members
of the Commission said that there might be objections from residents
in the neighborhood and that it would be imprudent to make commitment
at this time prior to ascertaining post. -war development of highways.
Twelfth Street could well be included in auoh development, such as
widening said street,which might deter the Commission from granting
the request submitted.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
