The next item on the agenda was a reopening of the public hearing on the rezoning petition of Red Arrow Land Company, Inc., for roperty located on the West side of Highway 265 and approximately mile North of Highway 16 East from R-1, Low Density Residential District, to R-2, Medium Density Residential District.

Mr. Gitelman said he thought the Commission should see a plat showing plans for the entire area before rezoning.
