The City Clerk read a petition containing 34 names of residents in the area involved, protesting rezoning of Lot 2 from R -1 to R -2. Mr. Eugene Majeski, Attorney, appeared in behalf of Mr. Brownstein reviewing application for rezoning this property in 1952, at which time the Planning Commission recommended that the entire area from James to Brewster be rezoned to R -2. This was approved by the Council, and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare Resolution to that effect on 9/18/52. Ordinance was introduced and passed.
