It is my understanding that some time ago Mr. Sheldon Gentry applied for a rezoning of some property which he owns along Stadium Drive in Jefferson City, and that the rezoning was approved by the Council but was held up because of our proposed taking of right- of-way. Mr. Gentry has contacted us as to whether we would at this time have any objection to this property being rezoned from residential to commercial . As you are aware, we at the present time have the property, of which that under consideration is a part, in condemnation and the commissioners have now made their report. We have carefully re- viewed our file and do not believe that it rezoning of this pro- perty would have any effect on our eondemnati.on proceedings , and we would, therefore, have no objection to the property being rezoned if the City officials see fit to do so. Very truly yours, /s/ Robert L. Hyder Chief Counsel Street The following report of the Street Committee was submitted: Committee December 20, 1965 Report.

Planning The following report was received from the Planning & Zoning & Zoning Commission: December 10, 1965 Report. Gentlemen: The Planning and Zoning Commission held its official meeting on Thursday, December 9, and it makes the following recommendations to the City Council on the petitions considered: 1. The petition of Leonard Fischer and E. E. Strobel to rezone the north half of the 200 block of E. Dunklin from residential to Commercial. The Commission recommends that a 30 day ex- tension is needed for the petitioners to make personal contact with those who live within the area. 2. The petition of Irene Church, 208 S. Lincoln Street for the rezoning of that address so that a special permit can be issued to operate a beauth shop at the location -- the Commission re- quests that the petition be denied. The petitioner failed to show any support from the surrounding neighbors for such a place of business. 3. The request of J. L. Nelson for his son H. L. Nelson to rezone property on Schott Road, a part of Hedgewood Heights subdivision, from residential to Commercial E. For the purpose of operating a nursery and the Nelson Tree Service. The Commission recommends that the petition be denied. It is the Commission' s feeling that the residential property owners of this area should be protected from commercial zoning which we do not feel is conducive to a residential area such as this . In addition, Mr. Nelson was unable to present a petition with signatures on it supporting his request. Sincerely, /s/ Ralph J. Kalberloh Secreatry. On motion of Mr. Scrivner, the report was approved.
