The hearing was called on petition of Mr. Bennie Auerbach to
rezone from R-1 Residential to R-2 Residential (Restricted Apartment
Project) Ward Street property as advertised. Mr: Cannon, repre-
senting the petitioner, presented plans of the proposed project
totalling 154 units to be constructed in increments of 50, 48 and
56 units. Provision for 1 3/4 parking spaces per unit, two swimming
pools, rentals to begin at slightly under Brookview Gardens high -
.lighted Mr. Cannon's remarks.
Six citizens from the area appeared to protest on the basis of
over -saturation of Smyrna with apartments and resultant lowering of
moral character of the community and the added load on schools and
City facilities.
Discussion centered on several major points ie., will existing
facilities permit extending, -utilities to this project; will area be
developed as single-family residential; is there adequate access to
and from the area provided in plans; finally, should area.be zoned
for apartmentts or commercial.
A motion J. C. Porterfield second H. Kuhl to deny petition of
Mr. Auerbach to rezone this property as advertised from R-1 Residential
to R-2 Residential (Restricted Apartment Project) lost by vote 2 to 5, -
R. J. McCurry, C. M. Chapman, R. H. Wood, B. A. Thomas and J. W. Webb
