ADJOURNMENT Don Bowen, Secretary Planning & Zoning Commission Mr. Bowen said even though he was not at the last meeting, he had looked at the plat and it looks like a fair distribution with the deed restrictions. He said he realizes the city does not enforce deed restrictions, but it looks like the top of the hill is pretty well protected with the 2500 square feet deed restriction and the 1800 square feet being down on Crane Road. Mr. Bowen said that is how he made his decision. Mr. Bowen said he would like to personally thank the City Council for their approval in re-naming the Senior Citizen Center on Glenview in honor of Mr. Dan Echols.
