Miss Lighton then asked Mr. Smith to tell how the Board of Adjustment arrived at a
compromise between the property owners on the east and the University Baptist Church
representatives.
Miss Lighton asked the property owners and the church representatives to speak.
After considerable discussion between the Planning Commission and the Board of
• Adjustment, the Board of Adjustment members met to discuss the problem.
Mr. Smith announced that since the Board of Adjustment was not in official session,
they would take no action. He did, however, suggest that there could be further
negotiation with regard to the setback line, that the Planning Commission proceed
with the means available to them; and that the members of the Board of Adjustment
doubted the legality of altering their decision without proper advertised hearing.
Miss Lighton stated that the motion of the preceding meeting of the Planning Commission
was still in effect and that the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council
the rezoning of the University Baptist Church property to P—lA.
The time for the next meeting was set for 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 19, 1961.
