The Cit Planning Commission feels that this
City g project if carried
out, would be an improvement to this neighborhood, both from the
standpoint of a new building, and the filling in and developing of
the old river bed in this location, and therefore, recommend to the
City Commissioners that a special permit be granted for this building
in this specific case.
In response to a petition presented by Dr. Hensley for improving
the grocery store building on Phillips Stredt between State and Ash
Streets, the Plan Commission feels that in accordance with a proposed
plan of remodeling that this would be a decided improvement to an
already established business, and recommend to the City Comr,iissioners
that a permit be granted for the erection of this proposed building to
replace the la'esent building for the continuance of the present estab-
lished business.
In connection with the application of Dr.Hensley for permission
to make an improvement on a building housing an already established
business, the Plan Commission feels that this type of improvement might
well. be encouraged in the community and desires to reco mmend to the
City Commissioners the revising of the Building Ordinance pertaining
to the remodeling of business buildings whose established businesses
are in reside=ntial desitricts. The suggested change recommended by the
Plan Commission would be that an owner of such a building be permitted
to remodel, improve or replace such a building. The Gr
r.ting of such
a permit however, being subject to the approval of the lan Commission,
and their decision in the case in turn to be based on whether or not
the nature of the Improvement is of real merit and adds to or conforms
to the nature of the im:ediate surroundings, and such suggested im-
provements be not opposed by the immediate, adjacent property owners.
In response to a petition from Dr. Clark, 445 South Seventh
Street for permission to inclose part of his front porch, and convert
it into a sort of sun room; the Plan Commission feels that this is a
very reasonable request and would not cause any injury to the adjacent
property, and therefore recommend to the City Co=, issioners that a
permit be granted Dr. Clark for this improvement.
