Mr. Pasteur stated that Phillips Petroleum would take out a $53,000.00 building permit for the construction of this station and that it would employ at least 4 people and bring an estimated $1200.00 a year in taxes to the School District and City. For the information of residents in the Morrisdale area, Mir. Pasteur stated that they wish to develope this property for a service station site only and no other type of commercial business. Mr. Pasteur said this concluded his presentation and thanked the commission. At this time, Mr. Evans Karpenko appeared before the commission as spokesman for a committee of citizens from the Morrisdale area. Mr. Karpenko stated that they could not go along with the rezoning request since there was a restriction placed in the Deed of Sale from Mrs. Morris to Mr. Huffhines stating that from the center of Pipe- line Road back 300 feet was to be restricted to Local Business only. He said the committee feels that the rezoning of this property to "C" Com- mercial would be in direct conflict with the Deed Restrictions and the people of Morrisdale wish to stand on their rights as citizens under these restrictions as they were set out to the people at the time they purchased property in Morrisdale. Mr. Karpenko presented the Commission with a letter re- flecting the views of the people of Morrisdale and also giving the restrictions as set out in the Deed. (Letter is hereby made a part of the minutes. ) Don Hastings questioned Mr. Karpenko as to whether the service station could not be considered to be a local business as well as the Medical Center, Beauty Shop and various other businesses already located in this area. Mr. Karpenko said that since service stations come under the classification of "C" Commercial, he cannot consider them to be a local business. At the same time Mr. Karpenko stated that he wished to go on record as saying that the Medical Center, Beauty Salon, etc. which are already in this vicinity is fine and he feels it is good for the area. At this time Mr. Pasteur stated that an option for the purchase of the land had already been negotiated between Phillips Pet- roleum Co. and the owners of the property contingent upon the frezoning request and therefore there could be no other type of business erected on that site since there were already legal and binding documents. The Chairman asked if there was any further discussion. As there was none, he called for motions. LaVern Lee made a motion that the commission recommend a zoning change from "B" Local Business to "C" Commercial on the tract of land out of the, J. W. Haynes Survey.
