City Attorney Gorlick advised that under the State Planning Law, since the Vineland Avenue width was fixed by a resolution that adopted a Master Plan under the State Planning Law, any amend- menttto the resolution would require a public hearing by the Planning Commission followed by a public hearing by the City Council, and the law required that there be ten days notice by publication before each of the hearings. 00- City Clerk Backus presented a letter from Mrs. Jesse Caldwell and Mrs. Lillian Gardner regarding Zone Change Case Z-62, a request for M-1 zoning, which was denied by the Planning Com- mission on June 18, 1959. Plerlning Director Teater explained that the owners of the affected property, located at 13309 East Garvey, appealed the Planning Commission decision to deny the M-I zoning and the legal question was whether or not the appeal period had ex- pired as an appeal had to be filed within 15 days from the time the applicant was notified by registered letter, which in this case was on June 19, 1959. In response to Mayor Cole's request, City Clerk Backus gave the oath to members of the audience who expressed a desire to speak during the meeting.

Discussion followed. City Attorney Gorlick advised that Council could waive the appeal period without payment of another filing fee and refer the matter back to the Planning Commission under the original application for M-1; however, if the applicant desired to change the request from M-I to C-2 or make application for only a portion of the property rather than the whole, then the matter would have to be reconsidered in a new public hearing.
