Several others in the audience spoke in , and following further discussion Max Bacon made a motion the rezoning for the following reasons: 1) The development was submitted and approved less than 12 months ago as R-20. with assurances by the developer that it was economically feasible and would not have an adverse affect on the surrounding neighbors through traffic or price of the homes. 2} One of the considerations given for the original development approval and the consent of the City In opening the street access was the impact of traffic flow on the streets leading into the development, if developed as R-20. 3) The streets leading into the development are not adequate in width. under- surface. or paving to handle any more traffic than is projected. 4) Rezoning to R-15 would substantially increase the density of residents in the area, increase vehicular traffic, and have a substantial effect on the health and safety of the surrounding residential neighborhoods and would not create a reasonable substantial benefit to the developer other than allowing houses to be built at a greater density on smaller lots. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion. Jack Shinall said he would support the motion because these homes will letely surrounded by R-20 development and would downgrade the properties ately adjacent. Vote on the motion to deny carried 7-0. Richard E. Adams requested rezoning of property In Land Lot 560 at 1 Street fr 15 to Residential Townhouse District. Rob Berry repre- .

Mr. Berry said this was approximately a I~ acre site and their to build 12 fee simple townhomes similar to Afton Downs. housing 4 units ng. Mr. Berry said he felt this was a good location and would help bring construction into the area and maintain the residential surrounding. James stated if the ing was approved, Mr. Adams would also need a variance of approximately 20% on e lot size which was the next item on the agenda. Mr. Berry said he would ha 0 have the variance because the lot is 64,643 square feet and the ordinance requires 80 uare feet. Following a question from Max Bacon. Mr. Berry said the nearest Ily development was Lexington Apartments but there is quite a bit rty on the street. Jack Shinall said one reason for the 80.000 square requirement was to allow for an open area or recreation area on the de t. Mr. Berry said there was no way to get around the variance. due to the size of the lot. James Williams said they had discussed several alternatives including reducing the density, but they would still need the variance, and his main concern was the 20% variance involved. > Jim Tolleson said he thought a devel at location would add new life to the area and did not think It would people at all.
