5. The int.ent of the Zoning and Planning Boro'd is to
stabilize and retain a rasidenti.al charact,er to High-
land Avenue by proper zoning and by providing suffi-
cient right-o.f-,'YaY \'Ti.th adoquato building setbacks"
6. S~rip zoning of business in this area would definite-
lY devaluate fine homes in Parlc\-JOod Subdivision, and
i.f repeated on the East aide of' Highland Avenue \-/ould
create a similar situuci()n to t he east, reducing the
potential good residential clwracter of housing ad-

Some questions \'lere asked concerning the requirements and opera-

servations as made lath J.o1r. Blanton. Threo critical a.reas of negro
housing were visit.ed. Dwell:lng units were judged from outside
structural conditions. Tabulati~n showed 57 structures in need o~
major repair and 9 to be demolishedp It was believed that even with
a number ,up to,lOO units that arrangement could be made for full de-
velopment of these areas and the development program could follow a
rehousing schedule undertaken within the area itself. Thus the
existing need may be met without seeking outside areas for reloca-
tion. However, it 'jas pointed out that replatt1ng may be neces~ary, '
as well as certain properties would naad be treated collectively n
