PORTER PROPERTY ON JEFFERSON PARK AVENUE

The President presented a letter from Mr. E. R. Porter, who owns land just across Jefferson
Park Avenue south of the new Academic Building. Mr. Porter stated that a group of property owners
planned to present a petition to the City Council asking the re-zoning to a B business zone of the area
on the south side of Jefferson Park Avenue and running back 200 feet from Brandon Avenue on the east,
Oakhurst Circle on the west. Mr. Porter plans to erect on his property a drugstore harmonizing with
University architecture. He requested that the Board approve the re-zoning of this area to a B business
zone.

The Board voted not to oppose the re-zoning of this area to a B business zone.
