He confirmed that a local drug store sent a representative to the Thurs- day hearing but made no comments. Dr. Zucker is purchasing property from Dr. A.R. Gangoo, of the former Plonk Surgical Clinic, to build a doctor’s office and told the board he needs the additional space, owned by Dr. George . Plonk, for a parking lot which Zucker said would be “decorative and orderly with barriers excluding the park- ing area from the adjoining " homes and suitable for the area.” Mrs. Connie Putnam, secretary to the Zoning Board, said the Gangoo , (formerly Plonk) property is ., already zoned for Residential ', Office and would now permit « ‘@ number of structures to be (\ erected at the King Street |site, including a drug store, multi-family gueling. I'K- 'ing lot, bank, barber or beau- ty shop, floral and gift shop, funeral home, medical and dental office, etc. and etc. She said the owners want the adjoining lot to match the zoning of the front lot to ac- comodate extra parking. Closeup Of Typewritten Notice Mrs. Putnam said that public advertisement, as re- qured by law, would be made in the Herald 15 days prior to the public hearing on Nov. 25th. She said that adjoinin roperty owners, as requir be I would be advised in a letter of the public hear on on Nov. 25th. Mrs. Putnam said that zon- ing regulations of the city do not require that property be posted but that it has n policy of the city to post the property. Mr. Griffin concur- red. She said that the Plonk property was posted last. week as a courtesy to adjoin- ing property owners. Because the city had five pro- perties to post last week, Mrs. Putnam said she used up all the big metal Z signs customarily used by the city to display Property up for rezoning and used a sheet of VOTE "HAROLD PHILLIPS Paid Political Advertisement paper on which the notice of the zoning board meeting was typewritten. She said some of e residents of Country Club area had complained that the sign was too small to see on the property and were unaware that the zoning hearing was to be held until too late to attend the meeting. She said that all adjoining roperty owners received the identical posted copy about ‘the zoning hearing in the mail. Mrs. Putnam said after Nov. 1, state law requires that all adjoining property owners be notified by mail of proposed rezoning. ‘It’s always been the city’s policy RL to notify them,” she said.

Mr. White made the remarks while presenting to the board a request from Mount Zion Baptist Church to buy Redevelopment Parcels 24 and 25 for a new par- sonage. After a public hear- ing, the board voted to sell the property to the church and trustees Frank Mitchem and John Ross estimated that it would be about two years before the new construction is completed across the stree from the present church sanctuary. : White said that the city has sold parcels of land to numerous churches, in- cluding Kings Mountain Bap- tist, ood Hope Dreshyierian, St. Paul Methodist, Bynum Chapel AME Zion and Mosaic Masonic Lodge over the years and he said that each church and institution had “done a splendid job on im- provements.” : White listed as new business citizens in the Cen- tral Business District and Ur- ban Renewal Areas of the ci- ty: Western Auto, among the first downtown businesses to relocate and build; Blazer Building; Phifer Hardware; KM Farm Center; Scissor Smith & Co.,; Bridges Tex- tiles; several law offices, Mason Optometry, Dellinger’s, Bridges Hard- ware, plus 32 single family dwellings, duplexes, and several professional offices, among others. He said the conservative value of the pro- perties, as listed on the tax- books, is over four million dollars. The cify has a few lots left to sell in the Urban Renewal Area, according to White. In other actions, the board, on recommendation of Com- missioner Norman King, chairman of the communica- tions committee, selected American Telephone & Telegraph Company as long distance telephone carrier for the city and authorized advertisement for bids for a dump truck for the water and sewer department.
