The motion was seconded by Mr. Stubblefield and passed unanimously. • Another rezoning petition was presented to the Planning Commission by Chairman Palmer. Evelyn Hills Shopping Center, Inc., petitioned the Fayetteville Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to rezone a certain strip of land from R-lA Single Family Residential District to C=2 Thoroughfare Commercial District. The petition presented by Evelyn Hills Shopping Center, Inc., was signed by three property owners.

J. Ball, Attorney for petitioner, be required to make the necessary changes in said petition by restating and/or clearifying certain state- ments and by adding a paragraph giving the reasons why the proposed petitioned zone will be good land use and will not conflict with surrounding land uses if rezoned. The motion was seconded by Miss Lighton and passed unanimously. Joe Hinton's building problem of building an addition onto the Majestic Lounge located on West Dickson Street was presented to the Planning Commission.

Lieberenz, showed the Planning Commission members a drawing of Pat Watkind proposed subdivision which is located in the north- M Minutes of June 21, 1962 • west part of the City of Fayetteville.
