NS-830 ORDINANCE NS-830 CHANGING DISTRICT A.A. 550-VOSE CLASSIFICATIONS ON AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 550, FILED BY CLARA E. VOSE, AND AMENDING SECTIONAL DISTRICT MAP 2-5-10 (EXHIBIT AA 550 A - REVISED) was read by title. The Mayor announced that only testimony regarding legal technicalities of the hearing which was closed would be heard, and called attention to the fact that two Councilmen were absent. John Parker, 1010 N. Main, attorney representing Santa Ann Homeowners Association, stated that residents in the area had not been able to present their arguments because of the many continuances, and asked for reopening of the public hearing; concluding that he had not examined the proceedings and could not comment on legal technicalities. John Harvey~ attorney representing the applicant, commenting on the argument that opponents were not adequately heard, observed that spokesmen, Holiday and Cohen, had certainly spoken adequately; that the applicant could not add to another hearing, and he doubted anyone else could without being repetitious. It was moved by Councilman Burk, seconded by Councilman Brooks, that further reading be waived and Ordinance NS-830 be passed to second reading. M~r. Parker stated that if the hearing was not going to be reopened it would be to the disadvantage of the residents to have action taken when a full Council was not present, and asked for a continuance. The Mayor replied that at the next Council meeting representatives would be able to make their presentations to a full Council and that holding first reading of the ordinance was not a conclusive action. ~ne City Attorney added that tonight's discussion was not a hearing but to determine if an error had been made in the proceedings. The Mayor called for a voice vote and the motion to pass the ordinance to second reading carried. Mayor Harvey invited Mr. Harvey and Mr. Parker to come to the next meeting if they have any evidence pointing to a legal defect in the proceedings.
