II ROLL CALL PRESENT III IV A. Assembly_- Regular_- nnmments on these minute ABSENT Mr. John Welch, Chairman Mr. Gene Erwin. Mr. Jerry Holt Mrs. Wilda Gellis Mr. Tom Terry Mr. John Burnham MINUTES FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES FROM OTHER MEETINGS V COMMUNICATION & CORRESPONDENCE - There were no for a rezoning on ton to R-3.- Mrs. Holt gave a brief summary on the background involving this case. Mr. Del Valley was issued a variance in 1965 to build a multiple dwelling on these lots, he was also issued a building permit but never used either of these. Since it has been about eight years, it cannot apply any longer. A variance is only valid for six months and the construction must start within that time. The area in question is presently zoned R-1. It was further stated that in the Comprehensive Plan, this area is proposed for high density use. The four lots involved have 24,000 square feet. Dr. Eufemio plans to build a 23-unit apartment building on these lots. Mrs. Holt stated that you need 1600 square feet lot area per unit for eight or more units. Mr. Vogt, who is also involved with the building of these apartments, stated that he believed the ordinance was too strong on the amount of area required, and he further stated that the reason for buying these lots is because they wanted to find lots that did not have too many existing houses and on which would be economical to build. Mrs. Gellis, asked if there was a restriction the heighth of the buildings. Mrs. Holt stated that they either must be 2 1/2 stories or 35 feet. Mr. Holt felt that what P&Z is doing is spot zoning and this is what they were told not to do. Mr. Vogt stated that they will build the apartment building according to the amount of square feet involved. Mr. Terry stated since the whole area is proposed for high density in the Comprehensive Plan, that instead of spot zoning, we should try to rezone a good portion of the area and by notifying all :the people to see if they want their property rezoned to go along with these four lots. Mr. Holt had some question as to the road #ervicing this area, if it would stand up to all the traffic. Mrs. Gellis stated that we should notify the City that we are going to rezone a great portion of the area on Mission Road and that they should improve the road system. Mr. Holt asked how firm Mr. Vogt's and Dr. Eufemio's plans were? Mr. Vogt presented the Commission with the set of plans for the apartment complex. Mr. Holt moved for a public hearing on lots 1, 2, 13, & 14, Block.

P&Z stated that he should go to Mr. Hangstefer-and have him measure his lot line to where the pro- posed porch will -be -to see if he would have enough room. If' not he would then have to come to the commission for a variance request. XI ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. ATTEST: �APPROVED: HIBS272783 Norma L.
