Mr. Palmer reported that the matters to be considered by the Planning Commission would not be discussed in the order shown on the agenda. Mr. Palmer said that the new business would be con- sidered and Harry Lewist problem would be first. Walter Niblock, attorney for Harry Lewis, explained Mr. Lewis' problem to the Plan- ning Commission members. Mr. Niblock said that Mr. Lewis had purchased property south of Bailey Drive which runs west off Highway 71 South from D. D. Bailey. Mr. Lewis applied for a building permit which was denied to him by the City Building Inspector Harold E. Lieberenz, Mr. Niblock requested that the Planning Commission over rule the City Building Inspector's decision and let Mr. Lewis build his home. It was pointed out by the attorney that Mr. Lewis had spent a considerable sum upon the lot and building materials and that Mr. Lewis met all requirements with the • exception of the required street frontage. Mr. Niblock said that Mr. Bailey had refused to give an easement for street purposes and had refused to plat his subdivision as requested by the Planning Commission and as Mr. Bailey had consented to do. Mr. Lewis told the Planning Commission that there was a street being used, but the street was not dedicated. The street is about fifty (50) feet wide in front of his house. This portion of the street is graded and graveled. The street has been there for about 1 1/2 years. Harold Lieberenz, City Building Inspector, said that Walter Niblock had fully ex- plained the back ground of the problem. Mr. Lieberenz told the Planning Commission that upon several occasions he had talked to D. D. Bailey but without results. Paul --Young arrived at the meeting. It was mentioned that the lot to the south of Mr. Lewis' lot had been sold. After a short discussion was had, Hugh Stubblefield moved that the Planning Commission recommend that this north -south street which runs south off Bailey Drive be dedicated and preferably all the way south to terminate at the south property line, but at least be dedicated to the south line of Mr. Harry Lewis' lot; after the street is dedicated then the building inspector be authorized to issue_Mr. Harry Lewis a build- ing permit. The motion was seconded by Henry Shreve and passed unanimously: • Bryan Walker moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Attorney that a letter be written to D. D. Bailey and a copy sent to Burl Ramey to caution said 15: parties about selling off smaller lots from large lots or tracts of land. Paul Young seconded the motion which passed unanimously. The lot and building problem of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Williams on McClinton Street was heard by the Planning Commission. Harold Lieberenz said Marie Starr had come to his office and applied for a building permit to build a new house behind an existing house on a lot which had only 35 foot street frontage. According to Marie Starr she was going to purchase this 35 ft. by approximately 160 ft. lot from Willard Willams, who in turn had purchased 35 ft. off Lot 11 of Block 1 of McClinton Addition to the City of Fayetteville from J. J. Curry. Mr. Curry deeded this 35 ft. off Lot 11 in June, 1963.
