Several items were considered under "Other business" by the Commission.
Joe Morris appealed to the Planning Commission for permission to make
a change from one non -conforming use to another non -conforming use
for property located on Stearns Street in the old Ruble Warehouse
Building. Mr. Morris wished to locate his business of fabricating
pickup campers into the portion of the building occupied by Ruble.

clean up the grounds some also. The property is zoned A-1.
Mike McDowell with the Housing Authority stated that in working on
the Urban Renewal project the question has been asked whether or not
the City actually adopted or made a part of its overall plan the
University of Arkansas plans. If it can prove it has, the City
can claim credit for the money -spent by the University in its
expansion projects. A written plan dated 1967 was presented to
the Commission to study. Mr. McDowell said the City is required to
document that a public hearing was held incorporating the two plans.
There was some discussion as to whether or not this has ever been
done. Roy Clinton proposed that if such a hearing is necessary,
it be held as soon as possible.
