Rezoning Recommendations. Mr. Hansen asked Mr. Berg for his Commission's recommendations on the Zoning Commission's piloposals to create more Business and R-3 areas. Mr. Berg stated that his Group declined to make any recommenda- tions, since they felt that such zoning and planning should be accomplished by an expert planner, and that they are not qualified to make recommendations. He further stated that since a new land value is created when land is rezoned from residential to business, that caution should be exercised in making such changes. He reviewed the progress of his Commission, and reported that no action has yet been taken on the Borough's application for 701 funds, since no funds are available at this time, but that the Borough is at the top of the list when funds do become available. He reiterated the Commission's recommenda- tion that a planner be hired to coordinate preparations of the Comprehensive Plan, and later retained as an administrative assistant to the Borough Chairman. The Zoning Commission still felt that some rezoning must be accomplished in the meantime, since Business and R3 areas are so urgently needed, and it will be some time before the Comprehensive Plan is accomplished. P &z COMMISSION MEETING - December 7, 1966 VII C. Zoning of New Subdivisions Coming Up for Sale 1. First Addition to Miler Point: Subdlvi n (Case 142-A) 2. Second Addition to Elller Point Subdivision (Ocean Lots) (Case 141-A) 3. USS 3512 First Addition to Kad ak ,Subdivision) (Case 140-A)--, The Commission felt that both subdivisions in the Miller Point area were intended for residential purposes and should be zoned R-2. Mr. Best suggested that at least the First Addition be zoned Unclassified, so o that a wider usage would be permitted, but could still be controlled. There was considerable discussion on this, and it was finally agreed that the lots in Addition No. 2 on the waterfront should remain strictly residential, while the lots in Addition No. 1 and those in the original Miller Point Subdivision could be zoned Unclassified for the present time. There then followed a discussion on whether USS 3512 should be zoned partly Industrial and part R3, or all one or the-other. It was pointed out that industrial sites had been panned for this area, since the land required draining and filling. However, it was finally decided that R-3 zoning would probably cause the property to be developed more quickly. Mr. Waller moved that a recommendation be made to the Assembly that the original Miller Point Subdivision, and the First Addition to the Miller Point Subdivision, all now zoned Conservation, be rezoned to Unclassified. Seconded by Mr. Williams and carried by unanimous voice vote. Mr. Welsh moved that the Second Addition to the Miller Point Subdivision, now zoned Unclassified, be rezoned to R-2. Seconded by Mr. Williams and carried by unanimous voice vote. Mr. Williams moved that USS 3512, now zoned Conservation and Industrial, be rezoned to R-3. Seconded by Mr. Waller and carried by unanimous voice vote. VIII SUBDIVISIONS -» PRELIMINARY APPROVALS - None Ix SUBDIVISIONS - FINAL APPROVALS - None XI I AUDIENCE CoMME S A. Road Program. Mr. Best stated that he felt there is an urgent need for a road program to be established. He felt that the housing shortage is not being solved by the planned land sales, since there is no access to the lots. Various ways to get roads in were discussed. The Commission agreed that the Borough should make every effort to set up a road program. B. Don Slater Aparments . The Building Inspector reported that he had found Don Slater in violation of the Zoning Ordinance by having R-3 apartments in an R-2 zone. Mr. Stansbury read a letter which he was mailing to Mr. Slater the next day, notifying him that legal action would be taken against him if the situation were not corrected. XI PLANNING AND STAFF ITEMS A. R.e onin e.cominenc ations . A discussion was held as to the next step Which should be taken on the recommendations for rezoning which had been sent to the Assembly.
