Although they can remodel inside their building, the zone prohibits improvements outside of the structure. "We will have to do extensive the station," Kent Johnson said. Afton said all property owners in the area had been contacted and told of the proposal and only three were not in favor of it. The area would be rezoned to a CC1 zonei or commercial zone. Ray Sanford said that while he was not against the Johnsons improving im-proving their property, he did feel the council should consider some of the negative aspects of adopting a totally commercial zone. "I think all the good things in a CC1 zone should be allowed, but not some of the bad things. I don't think open lumberyards arc appropriate," appro-priate," Sanford said. He said he felt that since the street niiwvlolintinnniirimuviriiinrmnix mnlsiinfvl th Art RniMinfl f n. resented the general spirit of the Art City. He then presented the council with his own idea for a zone, called a CCP (commercial, cultural, professional) zone. "It comes down to a type of restrictive re-strictive covenant. There's a few bad things not allowed," Sanford said. Mayor Kenneth Creer said his feeling was that the council should pass the rezoning ordinance and then have a hearing on Sanford's prbposed zone. Action on the matter was postponed post-poned until a public notice, could be posted announcing a meeting to pass the ordinance.

The street has been a sore spot for many years, zoned the way it was, and at one time, a mini-mall was planned for the south side from 400 East Street west to about 200 East Street. The present zone extends from 100 East Street to 400 East Street and goes back on either side about one lot deep. The new zone also includes InstaCare and Brookside Service.
