Members absent: Leighton and Mrs. Moore. Relative to a petition presented by Mr. Elser for the rezoning to commercial of lots 21, 23 and 25 of Episcopal Military Addition; the Commission felt the information as to just what development was intended for this tract, and no information as to the sentiment of adjacent property owners accompanied this petition, in view of these facts the petition was tabled pending additional information as stated above. Relative to a Surveyors Plat "H", presented for approval by Mr. Wayne Dodge, the Planning Commission approved this plat and recommend its approval to the City Commissioners. Relative to the petition of Dr. Harvey and others for the rezoning to Commercial of Lot 1, Hollandts Addition, corner of South and Santa Fe Streets; the Planning Commission recommends the re- zoning to Commercial of this site; particularly at this time in view of the fact that one of the residences on this site is now being moved off, and further that this site will never be developed for further residential purposes; and that it would be better to permit the establishment of regulated commercial activities here than to permit the continuance of a vacant cellar to disfigure this tract and the adjacent neighborhood. In connection with this recommendation, should it be favorably considered by the City Commissioners, the Planning Commission again renews its petition to have the power of approval of the plans for any development intended for this site. Motion by Shaver; Second by Robb. Carried. No opposing vote cast. Some informal discussion followed the meeting concerning the continued establishment of auto -wrecking junk yards at the entrances to Salina; since these are established beyond the jurisdiction of the City and must come under control of the County Commissioners, it was agreed to petition the County Commissioners foir the opportunity to appear before them and make an appeal to them for the regulation of these business enterprises; hoping to set them back. further from the highways, face them with fences, or do something to eliminate their unsightly appearance. This in the interest of both a city and county beautiful. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 P. M. Signed, F.
