Correction
Four of six deeds on 6.4 acres at Hobbs Road and Friendly have restrictions that prohibit commercial development on a site that was recently rezoned for a commercial/residential development. The story first published at 9:45 p.m. on June 13 said all six deeds contain active restrictions, but two expired in 1963.
