Ix P&Z ITEMS
A. Review Assembly Action and Recommendation of the Re
Addition Blocks 4 through 8 - Mrs. Holt read the insert
from the rr..'autes of the last meeting of the Borough Assembly
concerning this rezoning and also the letter from the
City stating their reason for Gbjection. Mrs. Holt also
r-- read a letter from the City Manager to the City Council,
and Mayor stating their reasons for objection to this
rezoning. They a•_e objectinq to the rezoning of anything
West of Spruce Street. Mrs. Gellis stated that she felt
the people thought their property value would be raised
drastically. Mr. Holt stated that Mr. Hickman, Borough
Assessor, had written a memo to the Assembly describing
the difference in value between R-1, R-2, and R-3 areas,
and that it does not change automatically with the rezonig.
Mr. Holt felt that if we rezone a smaller area that we do
not have to have another public hearing; only if we enlarge
the area do we have to hold another one. Mr. Holt moved
that we recommend deleting from our previous recommended
area the section west of Spruce Street and that we go ahead
and rezone the previously recommended area eastward.
Seconded by Mrs. Gellis. Mr. Erwin felt that we should put
a stipulation in that the roads be upgraded to accomodate
and R-3 area. P&Z recommended that a letter be sent to
the City recommending this action of upgrading the roads
and that they go on record as recommending that the City
take the necessary measures to purchase enough Right -of -
Way from the owners because the development of that area
was inevitable. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.

from the committee approving.the use of Lot 5, Block 1,
