Mr. Howitz discussed the meeting held with Mr. Beutel in February 1967, at which time he appeared to hear what the reaction of the board might be to a rezoning of this portion of the cemetery. The Board members were of the opinion that this would tie in with the industrial area on the north side of County Road C. Mr. Howitz expressed a feeling that a Light Industrial complex would lend itself to this area with the wide separation of Highway #8 as a buffer between this area and the residential area.
