White said the city points out that the need for earlier funding has become a critical matter as a result of the completion by the schools of a major segment of its capital project improvement pro- gram, KMSHS and KMJH with combined enrollments of 1,400 are located on Phifer Road approxi- mately 1,500 to 2,000 feet north of the proposed project. Present traf- fic patterns to the school create daily severe and dangerous condi- tions, This fall, the new Middle School and addition to the present Senior High School created addi- tional enrollments of 700 students. The combined enrollment of grades 6-12 will be 2,100 students, | creating a traffic emergency situa- tion in this area, according to the letter signed by White. A rezoning request by realtor Warren Reynolds is expected to be under fire again Thursday by peti- tioners opposing the building of an automobile sound shop in the East School area.

City Council has the authority to deny Or approve rezoning, "Reynolds property is now an’ eyesore and he wants to construct a 3,000 square feet brick building at cost of $100,000," said developer Mike Brown, who said the building would be sound proof and will comply with the city's noise ordi- nances. Brown said the new busi- ness would bring in more tax rev- enues and would be a city utility customer. Board of Education Chairman Doyle Campbell said the school system is not opposed to communi- ty growth and progress but that East School classes are held "di- rectly across the street from the proposed building and the possibl negative effects and disruption of class bother us..
