Mr. Ack Moore came before the Commission for an informal discussion on the rezoning of the area known as East of the Sun from R-3 to R-4 in order to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance regarding the number of units per acre. Commission members said that they didn't feel there would be any 1 problem in rezoning since Mr. Forsman owned all of the surround- ing property. The next item brought before the Commission was a discussion on the Eastern Shore Art Center's need for a variance because of the proximity of the expanded Art Center to Section Street road right-of-way. Member Harford Field questioned the need for a variance because he felt the Art Center was in compliance with the set back restrictions of the R-2 zone. Mr. Don Pruitt stated that he felt it did not meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and that the only way to handle the situation was for the Art Center to apply for a variance, Members of the Commission discussed whether the Art Center would be considered a private or public building. Mayor James P. Nix moved, seconded by Harford Field to grant. a building permit to the Eastern Shore Art Center based on the Following: 1. The building meets the set back requirements for a residence in an R-2 zone. 2. The building meets the set back requirements for a business in an R-2 zone. IV. V.
