City board to decide on doctors clinic in residential area
High Point board of adjustment will act Thursday on erecting a doctors and dentists clinic on Quaker Lane near High Point Memorial Hospital after City Attorney Grover Jones ruled the board has authority under existing ordinances. Public opposition centered on potential commercial uses, not the project, with promoters promising no commercial features such as a pharmacy. Dr H L Brockmann will file a detailed plan, while a separate case seeks a three foot front yard variance for a Chestnut and Spruce location.
