Multi-family dwellings will be constructed on the western portion of the tract with a buffer zone to protect homes in the area. The property on the East would be industrial and would be designed similarily to Brookhollow. Mr. Powers stated the owners are of the opinion that the east portion of the tract would not be suitable for dwellings due to airport noise, but would be ideal for industrial and would help buffer the multi -family dwellings. His clients are willing to place deed restrictions to assure its usage for family dwellings on the West side of the tract which will protect existing homes and ones to be built later. Chairman Weber inquired how far North the family dwellings would be built. Mr. Powers stated that property deed restrictions would extend to the North line of Somerset Place Addition. kair (Page Two, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, August 6, 1968) Mr. Tench inquired as to the number of service stations and Mr. Powers advised that there are plans for four (4) service stations, one on each corner.
