I. Zoning Change Request
a. A. L. Brewer - Lot 1, Block 2, Woodlea Acres located at
509 South Bowman Springs Road inquired about a zoning change
from A- Single Family to E- Commercial for the purpose of a retire-
ment lodge for elderly people. Mr. Brewer stated the building
has 5,000 square feet and lot size is 200' X 800'. Mr. Brewer
explained that the people would be able to take care of themselves,
transportation would be provided, qualified personnel would be
on duty and no license is required by state if no medicine is
administered. Family members, a physician, or county judge would
have to recommend a person for this type facility. Raymond Morris
stated the legalities and classification would have to be looked
into by the city attorney, Clyde Marshall.
Motion was made by Robert Brown, seconded by Mike Smith, to table
this change in zoning for further study. Motion carried with none
opposed.

was concerned about the drainage, John Levitt, engineer, stated
it will be in the natural direction that it is going now. Gary_
Cooper stated a gravel cul -de -sac would be at the end of Phase Istreet.
R. E. Flowers stated he was against the street being stopped after
Phase I for the reason that traffic could not be generated onto
Paula Lane to the elementary school. Raymond Morris asked when
Spring Branch Lane would be tied into Paula Lane. Mr. Levitt
said when the project of Phase 11 is started. Gary Cooper stated
the reasons for not starting both phases at the same time were
double cost on the utilities and streets and FHA approval. Mr.
