"At its regul~ ~ 0~ ~mbeE,~,~96~, the City Planning Commission publicly heard and acted upon the following three (3)~rezoning petitions; Z-64-25 Petition of the H & W Food Mart, Inc, 620 Chestnut Street, to rezone property described as foltews: Beginning approximately 110' west of the northwest corner of County Street and Chestnut Street; thence west approximately 30'; thence north approximately 110'; thence east approximately 30'; thence south app~ox-! , imately 110' to the point of origin; from Residential R-60 to Commercial C-2. The Planning Commission resolved unanimously to recommend approval of this application which merely extends the Commercial C-g depth Thirty (30) feet to make possible business expansion deemed desirable. Z-64-26 Petition of Walter W. Philbrick, 109 Mayflower Road, to rezone property described as follows: Begin~,the southeast corner of Portsmouth Boulevard and City Park Avenue; thence south approximatelg 190'~ thence east approximately 59'; thence north approximately 190' to Portsmouth Boulevard; thence west approx- imately 50' to the point of origin; from Residential R-75 to Commercial C-2. The Planning Commission resolved unanimously to recommend rezoning of this land, but only to Commercial C-I; provided the owner is willing (to the satisfaction of the City Attorney) to establish a building setback line fifteen (15) feet from City Park Avenue. Thus, the Commission continues to adhere to a policy of rather strict land use control along the stretch of Portsmouth Boulevard now under construction. Members of City Council will recall that on March 15, 1963, the full Commission toured this route and thereafter (April 2, 1963) made a complete public report of long-range zoning recommendations. The intersection of Portsmouth Boulevard and City Park A~enue was noted as one of.four sites for possible commercial- expansion--this opposed to strip business zoning of the modernized boulevard. ~In viewing this application in the field, City Council is urged to inspect City Park Avenue ~etween Portsmouth Boulevard and Cherokee Road.) This Commission believes the applicant is in accord with this recommendation; and further, that his new office building will represent an asse~ and not a detriment ~o western Portsmouth.
