Duke was read: "It has come to my attention today that a zoning change requested by Mr. Fred Lipford o~ property located at 2911 Portsmouth Boulevard will come before the City Council tonight. This property is adjacent to property owned jointly by William B. Spong and myself and on which we have a service station leased to the American Oil Company. When the station was built in 1956 ~he property was zoned commercial.~ We were not aware that the property had been rezoned to residential use. It may be that if we and perhaps others owning adjacent property requested rezoning, it would eliminate the objection of the Planning Commission to spot zoning. For the above reasons we respectfully request that action on this request be deferred in order that we may consult with the Planning Commission ~n t~is matter."
