is as follows: We recommend changing from R- 2 to Commercial the following property: East side Chestnut from First to Oak ( Ocean City SiD) Lots 322, 323, 324, 325, 326 and 327. North side East First Street from Chestnut Street to Chicago Avenue - Lots No. 3l6, 317, 3l8, 319, 320 and 32l ( Ocean City SiD) South side East First Street on the West side of Florida Blanca Street - Lot 569 ( Ocean City SiD) - Lot 87 ( Greater Camp Walton) This recommendation is based on the fact that the above property is situated adjacent to, or adjoining, property presently zoned Commercial. Werecommend denying the request to re- zone from R- 2 to Commercial the following property:  15 South side East First from Alconese Street to Florida Blanca Street - West 92 ft. of Lot 567 ( Ocean City SiD) West 108 rt. of Lot 62 ( Greater Camp Walton) - Lot 568 I Ocean Ci ty SiD) - This Lot 86 ( Greater Camp Walton) is based on the fact that should this recommendation request be granted, this property lying between Alconese and Florida Blanca Streets, would be a small Commercial area and in an otherwise R- 2 area; furthermore, Florida Blanca Street at the present acts as a natural buffer be- tween commercial and residential properties. It is the opinion of the Hearing Board that this buffer line be main- tained. For these reasons we recommend that this particu- lar zoning remain R- 2.' This recommendation was carefully considered by MAB on March 4, 1958. We concur with this Hearing Board recom- mendation and it is hereby presented as a joint recommenda- tion for Council consideration." Councilman Roberts moved that this recommendation from Municipal Advisory Board be approved as read and the re- quired ordinance be prepared effecting this re- zoning. Seconded by Councilman Bass. Vote aye, unanimous. All items of referrals to Finance Committee were held pend- ing Committee action. Concerning liquidated damages to be assessed against the George G.
