Re: Zoning Case No. 861-A
Dear Sir:
The recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission on application of Cardinal Life Insurance
Company presented to the City Council in connection with the above mentioned matter was refused by
the Council because the plat as submitted to the Council reflected a combination use of the property,
for a private apartment building and commercial shopping center, and the area was less than five and
one-half acres as required by Sections 14A.1-8 and 14A.1-9, Ordinance 1695, as amended. The proponent,
Cardinal Life Insurance Company, does now, by this letter, waive the commercial provisions requested
in such case and does herewith submit a new site plan, requesting a specific use permit upon the
property for a private apartment development only, in order to comply with Section 14A.1-9 of
Ordinance 1695, as amended.
In view of the change in circumstances and the change in the proposed use of the land, Cardinal
Life Insurance Company hereby requests that the City Council reconsider its action upon such
application and requests that notice be given to the adjoining land owners, and that Cardinal
Life Insurance Company be given an opportunity to present to the Council its views on this matter
as reflected by the new site plan attached hereto, and in light of the waiver by Cardinal Life
Insurance Company of the commercial features of said cause.
Respectfully submitted,
CARDINAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY

Dear Sirs:
The Ministers of the Inter -denominational Ministerial Alliance after careful observation of our

people. We have discovered that the following cities have this type public housing which we desire
in the City of Lubbock, Witchita Falls, Ft. Worth, Dallas, Waco, Brownwood, E1 Paso and many others

As an alliance we are interested in all mankind, but we are particularly interested in people
of our city and community whose financial income will not allow them to adequately pay their rent
and support themselves under the present rental rates, that exists in our city.
Done by the orders of the Inter -denominational Ministerial Alliance of Lubbock, Texas.
