The following recormiendations were received from the City Planning Commission: Salina, Kansas. Feb. 12, 1931. The City Planning Commission met in regular session at 5:00 P. M. in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in the City Building. Members present: Dyar, Chairman, Robb, Bren, Pafford and Reynolds. Members absent: Shaver and Leighton. In response to a petition from property owners in the vicinity of 9th and Walnut asking for a re -hearing on their previ- ous petition requesting a change in zoning of some of the properties in this immediate vicinity. After considering this question the Plan Commission recommends to the City Commissioners the rezoning to commercial the following described lots: beginnin§ at the intersection of Walnut and the west line of Lot 9, Plat 'A" Maple Grove Addition, south to the south line of this lot, east to Ninth Street, then across Ninth and along the south lines of Lots 140, 141, 142 and 143, then across Eighth Street and along the south line of Lots 1, 2 32 4 and 5, all Original Town, then north on Seventh to Walnut and west on Walnut to place of beginning. This recommendation is being made in an effort to encourage business to turn west along Walnut, and eventually square out the tract bounded by Walnut, Ninth and Iron, thus prevening, as far as possible the tendency towards a "one street" town. In response to a petition presented by Earl Wyatt and others for a permit to complete his building program as started on Faker Street, the Plan Commission feels that Mr. Wyattts rights in this case have been encroached on by others and in this case it is only i f i t mit M tt t ti hi b ild i3 1 n 1 CL r o per r. VWya o con nue s u ing program on aker as aatlined in his plans; therefore the Plan Commission recommend that the City Commissioners grant Mr. Wyatt special permits to build the two residences as requested on Baker Street. The Plan Commission discussed in bLn informal manner the possible development and care of the small city park at the west end of Sunset Drive; believeing that in a very short while this pmt of town will be pretty well developed and the need of this park will be more apparent than now, the Plan Commission recommends to the City Commissioners that this park be given more care and attention, particularly as to the care of the trees, re -setting of those dead, and the mowing of weeds and removal of trash during the summer. We believe if this were done the public would come to recognize this as another beauty spot in Salina and appreciate it accordingly. Meeting adjourned 6:20. (Signed) F. L. Reynolds Secretary. f The above recommendations were ordered filed by the Board of commissioners. The application of J.
