Commissioner Stephens moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of October IS, 1965 be approved as recorded and as submitted in written summation by the Clerk to each Commissioner. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced that the first item on the agenda was a continuation of a public hearing from October 18, 1965, appealing the granting by the Board of Adjust- ment and Appeal on Zoning, on September 23, 1965, for the Kane Corporation to erect a nursing home on the ~est 170 ft. of North 90 ft. and West 130 ft. of South 90 ft. of Lot 30, Bluff View Sub., zoned R-4 (multi-family). Mr. Elwood Hogan, Jr., Attorney, representing the applicant called on Mr. James V. Flaherty who briefed the Commission regarding the previous meetings pertaining to this request and stated the corporation had not changed its plans. He also reported on 2 meetings which he had with Mr. Lee H. Reid, for discussion of a compromise, but no definite agreement was made. Mr. Hogan stated that Mr. Reid did not object to parking on the property West of his residence for the medical building, but now objected to the same parking area for the proposed nursing home. Mr. Lee H. Reid said that he had sold the property to the West of his home with deed restrictions for a single family residence or a doctor's office and that traffic is congested now with the present doctors' offices. He also stated he did not oppose the medical center, but felt the nursing home would definitely create too much congestion. The Clerk read a letter dated October 25, 1965, from the Harbor Oaks Association to which was attached a copy of a letter dated January 14, 1965, which had been submitted previously, both in objection to the applications. Dr. Henry E. Smoak reiterated his former objections and stated that there was a def- inite change in plans. He presented a petition with approximately 65 signatures in objection. Commissioner Hougen moved that the petition be received. Motion was sec- ond~d by Commissioner Stephens and carried unanimously. The City Attorney expressed the opinion that since a portion of the medical building was to be a parking garage, it changed the plans as originally approved by the Commission. He also quoted from the City Code regarding the granting of doctors' offices and convalescent homes ~n R-4 zoning. Commissioner Stephens moved that the present request be denied on the grounds that it changes the original application for a medical center, the denial to be without prejudice to any future reapplication to the Board of Adjustment and Appeal on Zoning, and that the existing approved application of the Kane Corporation for the construction of a medical center be preserved in its present form on the entire loca- tion for a period of 90 days from date. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously. The City Manager recommended accepting the low bid for 824 ft. of 12 inch cast iron pipe, from U. S. Pipe and Foundry Co., Birmingham, Alabama, for Utilities Dept., Water Division. Commissioner Hougen moved upon the joint recommendation of the Utili- ties Manager, Water Superintendent and Asst.

Pipe and Foundry Co., for the sum of $3,267.16, which is the lowest and best responsible bid and that the appropriate officials of the City be authorized to execute said contract which shall be in accord- ance with the plans and specifications and bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Stephens and carried unanimously.
