Mr. Graham Ralston's request for a rezoning of the area around 8th Street, Race and Francis Strp.et (1/12170) was brought up again for discussion.

New 'Business Mr. Ivan Priest, 1115 West 9th street. had requested a temporary variance to permit the installation of a mobile home on his property for living quarters.

The area involved is the southeast corner of 2nd and Washington Streets. A re-zone from RS-7 (single family) to RMF (multi-family) was requested. The members discussed the applica- tion and were of the opinion this would constitute !1spot zoning" and as such could not be defended were it to be challenged. It was therefore voted to recommend the request be denied. e Chairman Harry Hunt announced the tenure of the position of Chairman had expired and nominations for chairman were open.
