purchase .the land and have it properly zoned.

considerable money in filling the land for a residential development. He
urged that the request be denied.

stated he did not object tea duplex being b ~uilt on this land but if this
spot zoning throws it open to all these other establishments in R-2 and later

bbject.

status quo with provisional use for a duplex only, consistent with the
surrounding area. Amendment seconded by Dr. Raulston and motion carried

business.

charter boats, boat storage, lo~ge and restaurant. P~. Jackson requested
