stated they were interested in keeping Bowling Court zaried
for business as set up by the Planning Commission. He
. further stated that in checking the deeds to the residential
properties of Bowling court it was found that the deed tb
Mr. Kenneth L. Williams' was the only one that contained a
covenant restricting the property to residential use only,
and that Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Macgill, daughter and son-irf~
law of Mr. G. C. Bowling, who conveyed this property to
Mr. Williams, were willing to re-deed this property to
Mr. Williams, leaving out this covenant, and that same
would be done at no expense to Mr. Williams. Mr. Deeds nd

Council minutes cunt id. Pulaski, Va. liar. 12,1957~~+ P.m•
Upon motion duly made by A. E. Lemons, seconded
by F. L. Carrico, and by the following recorded vote:
F. L. Carrico - aye W. A. Larson - aye
W. S. Cummings -aye J. R. Martin - no
I. R. Carper - aye W. H. Wysor - aye
that ~+th Street between Jefferson and
RESOLVE
~
Washington Avenues, be rezoned as residential, with the
exception of the Telephone Company and Masonic Hall.
Whereupon, Mr. Carrico reinstated his motion that
Bowling Court be zoned as residential rather than business,
which motion did not carry for lack of a second.
On motion of ~=~I. H. Wysor, seconded by J. R. Martin,
it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Coleman Furniture lot east of
C=allimore & Lively offices, between Washington and
Madison Avenues be changed to Industry rather than
Business.
It was reported that Mr. Fred L. Thompson had
requested of the Manager that Council be asked to
change the zoning classification on both sides of
Peppers Ferry Road at Mashburn Avenue from residential
to business, since he hoped to develop the property for
business use in the future. Since this area borders on the
Corporate Limits and is in an area which the Planning, C
Commission plans to re-study as soon as Annexation is
effected, it was decided not to change it at this time.
The proposed water and sewer rates were discussed
at some length, but no action was taken with the under-
standing that the subject would again be considered at
the next regular meeting.
On motion made, seconded and carried by the
unanimous vote of those present, the Mayor was authorized
and requested to appoint a special committee to investi-
gate the proposed new Interstate Highway which, as
presently planned, will by-pass Pulaski completely,
with the purpose of determining whether there is any
possibility that the new Highway could be constructed
closer to Pulaski.
