MINUTES OF A CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
The Fayetteville City Planning Commission met in a regular meeting at 3:30 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 2, 1963, in the City Council Chambers in the City Administration Build -
Members present: J. F. Palmer, George Caudle, Bryan Walker, Clark McClinton and Hugh

The regular meeting was called to order by Chairman J. F. Palmer. The minutes of

As requested by the Chairman, Harold E. Lieberenz, City Building Inspector, informed the
Planning Commission members that in June of 1962 the recommendation of the Zone
Revision Committee to permit mobile homes on individual lots in all industrial zones
was accepted. A public hearing had not been held because of the need for the study
of trailer (mobile home) courts. Both the mobile homes on individual lots and the
mobile home courts, in the opinion of the majority of the Planning Commission members
who attended the June meeting, could be considered at the same hearing. The Chairman
turned the matter of trailer courts over to the Zone Revision Committee for study and
recommendation.
The subdivision plat of V. H. Gragg and the subdivision plat of J. W. Eoff and Thomas
Conley were referred to the Subdivision Committee for study and report at the next
Planning Commission meeting.
The hearing of the rezoning petition of J. W. Barron, Jr., who was acting in behalf of
C. V. and Pearl R. Brown, was discussed by the Planning Commission members. Bryan
Walker moved that the Planning Commission by resolution recommend to the City Council
that property as described below be rezoned from R-4 Multi -family and Dormitory District
to C-3 Central Commercial District; said property being described as: A part of Lot
Eight (8) in Block Eight (8) in County Court Addition to the City of Fayetteville,

• , CHAIRMA
The petition of F. F. Stice, Charlotte A. Stice and Lois N. Cunningham to vacate and
abandon Edgewood Street was submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration.
After discussion of the petition, the members felt more information was needed in
regard to '.why the street was being closed; therefore action on this petition was de-
ferred until the petitioner was checked with and a complete study could be made. The
distance between the north and south streets was also of great concern.
There was no further business to be discussed, and the meeting was adjourned.
