IMPERIAL PARK AREA ZONING CONFIRMATION
The Planner presented request from the City Attorney that the
Board review its zoning originally recom~ended f~r the area proposed
I
f
to be platted as Imperial Park SUbdivision, and adjoining metes and
bounds parcels, as included in Annexation Ordinance No. 964 passed
April, 1, 1963. He informed the Board of information received in
memorandum dated tJov. 22, 1967, regarding Notice of Public Hearing
(Im.pet'ial La'nd Corporation property) before the City Commission at
1:30 P. M. on December 11, 1967, for the purpose of co~sidering re-'
quest for determination, establishment and/or reestablishment of zoning
and fire district classification for real property as de~cribed unde~
.
Items #1 through #4 of such notice.
As background for the pending request, Mr. Wolle related the
history of the Board's original approval (in 1962-63) of single family,
multi-family, and business zoning in accordance to a master plan of
development submitted for this tract (vacant at that time). The
Planner recalled to the Board that a zoning consideration in approval
of the R-4 was the fact that the northern portion of the tract was
marginal property with no dedicated access and that th~ developer would
j
have a draina~e problem which it was felt would not make it economical-
ly feasible for single fa~ily developmen~; further that this property
to the east of Hercules, ~s ~-4, was considered to be a ?otential1y
desirable site for a school or church.

~:15 P. M. Mr. Guy Kennedy, Jr., Assistant City Attorney,
met with the Board
Mr. Wolle reported that some residents of the surrounding area
and a PTA gro~9 of the P]umb Elementary School had raised objections
when plans were disciosed recently for construction of apartment
buildings in th~ R-4 zone at the southwest corner of Lakeview Road
and Hercules AVe. and had challenged the zoning. He. stated that
Mr. Kennedy was present by his request to explain the matter more
fully.
Mr. Kennedy eXDlained--
.'
That this property was annexed into the city limits in 1963
and that there is pending litigation claiming that it was
improperlY annexed.
It is felt that it was properly included in the corporate limits
when a snecial act of the 1965 State Legislature redefined the
city limits.
The pendin~ Circuit Court suit challenges tDe legality of zoning
for this annexation. The City Commission has set nublic hearing
on December II to establish o~ reestablish zoning ;n this ap-
proxi~ate iOO acres. Notice of public hearing has been pub-
lished in the paper and all pro?~rt" owners within the develop-
ment or within 200 feet are being notified. Some of the main
objectors are obiecting to the R-I} parcel (aporoximately 115 ft.
x 300 feet) at the south side of Lakeview at Hercules, proposed
site of multiple units.
Existing developments withi~ the l~O acres include a service
station and Imperial Square Shopping Center in the Business Zone,
apartments uncer construction in the R-4 parcel to the west of
the shopping center, and an ~pproy.i~ately all buil~-up area of
homes in the R-ID subdivision units of Imperial Park.

Upon inquiry by the Chairman, Mr. Kennedy cited the existing charter
