Commission conducted a public hearing on Tuesday, February 25, 1992 on the petition of the owners of 50% or more of the property bounded on the West by the center line of Toshlog Road, on the East by South West 21 st.Street on the North by the C-2 zoning line behind Frich's restaurant and extending South to the City Corporate boundary. Letters were sent to 34 property owners 23 were returned in favor of the requested rezoning. THE PLANNING STAFF REPORT IS AS FOLLOWS: Preunt Use: R-2 single family residential 8,000 square foot lot size. PROPOSED U,,$E: R-1 single family residential 12,000 Square foot lot size. The area involved in this petition is, for the most part, built up homesites which exceed the requirements for R-2 residential, which is the zone classification they presently carry. The practical effect of this request is to demand larger lots from the developer who presently has a subdivision request before the Planning Commission. The subdivision proposed has generally set up lot sizes averaging 10,500 square feet which is 2,500 square feet more than is presently required by ordinance Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (ht .//www.novapdf.com) and 1500 square feet per lot less than would be required if this rezoning is passed. We, as City officials, are charged with the responsibility of zoning property in a manner which will allow its widest possible use without infringing on the rights of neighboring property to be utilized and enjoyed while at the same time protecting the value of the neighbors property. To the extent that good zoning can accomplish that task we must ask ourselves, what benefit will be derived by the petitioners by rezoning their properties? I cannot think of any direct benefit to them. However, feel many of them think that R-2 zoning means low income housing or inexpensive single family homes. What benefit is there to the developer who is not one of the petitioners but whose property is included in the request ? Obviously ,the developer will be punished by this _action. He purchased the property zoned R-2 with the intention of using and developing the ground consistent with what the zoning allowed, that is, home sites of 8,000 square feet or more. Oakpark, Crestdale and Meadow Park subdivisions, are all zoned R-2. These homes are some of the finest this community has to offer and they continue to appreciate in value. The developer has testified before the Planning Commission that they are projecting home values in the $100,000 range which translates to about 1800 square foot homes. feel that we must be sympathetic to the concerns of the residents any time they feel threatened by actions of a developer or by City government. In this instance, I can see no legitimate reason to share their concern. To the contrary, the drainage problem which plagues many of the properties along Toschlog road will be greatly improved as a result of the drainage controls implemented through consultations with the City Engineer and the developers engineers. The traffic congestion noted at the intersection of South West 21 st. and National Road is primarily the result of traffic along National Road which handles thousands of cars per/day. The addition of the difference between the number of homes allowed in an R-2 development and an R-1 development making a turning movement at that intersection is not statistically significant. In the past few days the State has announced their intentions to install a Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (ht .//www.novapdf.com) "L;'affic signal at Toschlog and National which will platoon Eastbound traffic on National allowing more time for side streets and business lots to empty. The City Master Plan, adopted just recently, calls for this area to be developed as low density residential. Low density residential is defined as 2-5 residential units per acre. The proposed development is approximately 9 acres and contains 25 building lots. Well within the guidelines of the Master Plan The Planning Commission voted 10-1 to recommend that Council deny this request. t B.

Street. 4 letters were sent to adjacent property owners regarding this request and none were returned opposed. Many neighbors from the area attended the meeting and spoke in favor of the proposed change. No one spoke in opposition to the request. The petitioners are requesting a special use ,as permitted under Article 48 of the zoning ordinance, to establish an office use in the structure located at 303 South 6th. Street. The building is currently vacant and has been used as a residence in past years .The ordinance allows for such use if it will not be detrimental to, or impair the natural growth of, the neighborhood. Parking for this office has been granted by Saint Andrews Church ,immediately across the street, for as long as the office remains at that location. The Planning Commission voted 11-0- to recommend passage of this ordinance by Council. ResgeI� sy,�mitted, ems. Robert B.
