the denial of the rezoning of Lots 4, 5, 6, Block 16, Pacific Addition from
District "B" (Two Family Dwelling House District) to District "E" (General
Business District), which was requested in Petition Number 3419 which was filed

Mr. John Lisman, representing Mr. Gorrell, asked the City Commissioners
to return the petition to the City Planning Commission so the petitioner could
discuss a different zoning for these lots.
A motion was made by Commissioner Weisgerber, seconded by Commissioner
Losik to refer the petition back to the City Planning Commission, as requested
by the petitioner, so he can discuss a different zone for these lots. Ayes: (4).
Nays: (0). Motion carried.
THE CITY ENGINEER reported on Petition Number 3421 which was filed by
Frank Norton for Star Grain and Investment, Inc., requesting a full exit and
entrance thirty feet in width onto South Ninth Street from Market Place at a
point 880 feet south of the intersection of Magnolia Road and South Ninth Street.
"This request is for a full two-way break in the limited access at the
same location as the Ninth Street entrance into the Mid -State Mall parking lot.
I believe it would be a mistake to allow a full entrance at this location as it
would, in effect, be creating another full intersection 880 feet south of
Magnolia Road. When we first became aware that this highway, with its limited
access, was going to be turned over to the City, we discussed with the Planning
Commission policies we would try to follow for access to this roadway. The poli,
agreed upon, at this time, was the use of frontage roads with a full turning
movement allowed only at quarter mile points.
"I would suggest this access be broken at Parkway Avenue with egress
only from Parkway Avenue or Market Place onto Ninth Street by means of a slip
off or acceleration lane."
Mr. Wasserman, Attorney for the petitioner, told the Commissioners
they would be most happy to comply with the City Engineer's recommendation. A
motion was made by Commissioner Losik, seconded by Commissioner Cooper to approve
the City Engineer's recommendation. Ayes: (4). Nays: (0). Motion carried.

COMMISSION AGENDA
PUBLIC AGENDA
A REQUEST was received from Ed French, d/b/a Radio Cab Company/Yellow
Taxi for a 15d increase in taxi fare for each trip.
Mr. French was present and stated the drivers pay for their own
gasoline and because the cost of gasoline has risen from 27(t to over 51(t a
gallon since December 1972, and because the cost of the maintenance for the
taxicabs has increased 25% since that time, they need this increase to offset
the rising cost of operation. He said they handle approximately 32 calls per
hour, so the drivers are now working for 35(t an hour less than they were
18 months ago.
After a short discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Weisgerber,
seconded by Commissioner Losik to table the request until Mr. French got
information to the staff, and staff prepares a recommendation for the City
Commission. Ayes: (4). Nays: (0). Motion carried.
