Chairman Palmer reported that the purpose of this meeting was to hold a public hearing to hear and consider two rezoning petitions. The first petition to be heard was that of Dr. R. E. Clack and Constance M. Clack. The petitioners requested a change in zoning of lot 6 in Block 11 of the Original Plat of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The zoning change requested was from an R-4 Multi -Family Residential and Dormitory District to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District, Chairman Palmer asked that those persons present who favored the petition for rezoning to be heard. J. F. Robinson, attorney, was present to represent the petitioners. Mr. Robinson said • Doctor Clack was unable to atterdthe hearing as he was out of town. According to Mr. Robinson, Warren Segraves would be the architect who would design the building. Mr. Robinson mentioned the reasons as stated in the petition why this change in zoning would not conflict with surrounding land uses. He said he felt that the petition and the drawings explained the request. Chairman Palmer asked those present who objected to the zoning change as requested to be heard. Grace Ramsey, 215 West Meadow Street, said she was present in behalf of herself and her neighbors. Miss Ramsey said she and her neighbors were not aware the property of Doctors E. M. Eidson and Letson Clark had been zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District. At the time all thought in terms of an R -P. Professional Zone. She was oppossed to the rezoning of Doctor Clackts property as petitioned, but she said she would approve of the property being rezoned to R -P. Also, Miss Ramsey mentioned the parking problem. She stited:.she would like the parking on Meadow Street to be eliminated. Miss Ramsey said she would not speak for the renters in the area, but the majority of the property owners were of the same opinion in regard to the parking. Chairman Palmer asked if Doctor Clack planned to have more than two professional people in the building. Mr. Robinson said he would rather leave this unanswered as he was not certain of Doctor Clack's future plans. Mr. Robinson, however, said he • felt that the R -P zone would not suit Doctor Clack's purposes. There being no further discussion on the rezoning petition of Doctor Clack, Chairman Palmer declared that the purpose of the public hearing having been accomplished, the hearing on said petition was adjourned.

Bass Trumbo said that this property in question had been purchased by the petitioners May 10, 1960, at which time all of the property was zoned for commercial purposes. The petitioners desire to expand their operations and utilize the eastern part of the real estate in question. The intentions of Mr. and Mrs. Russell are to utilize this entire area for commercial purposes in connection with the operations of the Chief Motel and Restaurant. Mr. J. A. Russell told the Planning Commission that he planned to erect apartments rather than motel units. There was no one present to be heard against the petition; therefore J. F.
