The general boundaries of the Main Street overlay portion of the district shall extend from SH 146 to Kansas, and include the properties along both sides of Main Street. These properties are bounded on the north by the alley located north of parallel to Main Street and on the south by the alley located south of and parallel to Main Street (see map). The general boundaries of the Main Street district shall be from SH 146 eastward to Kansas St. on both sides of Main Street from the alley one-half block north to the alley one-half block south of Main Street. The overall boundary shall be SH 146 to Kansas plus one block south (ls` and W. `B" to Virginia and back up to E. "A"). (see Map) (Ord. No. 1501 AAAA, § 6, 10-11-04) Sec. 106-511.
