A request to reclassify lots 5 and 6, block 5, Monashka Bay Subdivision from "service/recreation" to rural residential. (Borough Assembly) Mrs. Crowe pointed out that this request is a comprehensive land use change and not a rezoning. Mr. Crowe stated that rural residential should be low density residential. Mrs. Crowe closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing. Mrs. Oswalt against the rezoning as it is a nice area for a park and it is close to the road system for easy access. Mr. Miller against the rezoning (Lot 9, block 5) lot 6 is mostly water and no good to build. Also feels the same way the Mrs. Oswalt feels. Need for park areas. Mrs. McKinney is against the rezoning as lot 6 is mostly water and it is a nice place for a park area. There is a stream that runs all year round. Mr. Coe is against the rezoning for the following reasons we would lose a park area, is good for winter recreation, difficult to get a sewer permit as it is too close to water, septic problems would pollute the beach, and the possibility of water back up if the land was filled. Mr. Gordon stated that EPA would have to inspect the land before any permits would be issued or before any land use changes could be made. Mr. Meyers would like to see it stay as a park area. Mr. Pugh other service/recreation areas within the 1000 feet. Feels there should be more private ownership. Mr. Miller people would still buy the lot even though it is mostly water but because you have an ocean front it wouldn't really matter to a person. The lake is also shallow. Mrs. McKinney feels the lots are not suitable for residential uses. Feels it would be a poor business practice. Mrs. Oswalt true there is other recreation areas in this area but they are not really easy to get at. Mr. Arndt clarification on zoning Mrs. Crowe yes Is the present zoning rural residential? Mr. Arndt all you are trying to do is conform to the present zoning on it. Mrs. Crowe the land presently has an overlay of service/recreation.
