Mr. Lewis stated that he, Ed Brooks and Bill Terry were erect- ing a miniature golf course on North College Avenue in Block 50 of Evelyn Hills Addition to the City, a commercial zone, but sought the Board's con- sent to put in a driving range, which would extend back in the "An Residential 'Lone. He assured the Board that the portion of the "All zone would only be used where balls fell and their use would constitute mowing and erecting a few signs showing yardage. All tees would be in the Commercial zone. He said there would be no danger of hitting balls on the highway and that balls could not be driven far enough to endanger surrounding property. In consid- ering the application the Board was mindful of the fact that if later develop- ments brought property into the danger area, such use would have to be abandoned. Mr. Lewis informed the Board that since he had leased this property from Mr. Abshier who held the balance of the tractthat as Mr. Abshier sold off lots he no doubt would revoke his lease for the driving range and golf course.
