KIBS272958
A. Further discussion of the R-1 - R-2 consolidated zoning
district. Mr. Williams stated that some wort: has been done
at the work session, but there is still much to be accomplished.
Mr. Busch suggested that within the next two weeks there should
be a work session in order to have something final to present
at the next meeting. Mr. Williams stated there was comment
earlier from the audience on the proposed consolidation of the
P & Z COMMISSION MEETING - FEBRUARY 16, 1977 PAGE 4
R-1 - R-2. Mr. Fields asked if the consolidation were in
effect, "What would this do?" Mr. Williams responded that
this is a study and will be approached from all sides bringing
out that the size of the lot involved might have a bearing on
whether it should be developed R-1 or R-2. Where residential
unclassified is concerned there is a consideration to be made
as to whether there is water and sewerage provided or whether
only water or neither is provided. Mr. Fields noted that it
is more costly to build two single unit homes than to build
r— a two-family dwelling because of such items as electrical
wiring and heating systems.

quested to obtain a map that outlines the entire Borough to
