1700, and map #1S1 35DA Tax Lot 2500)
1. Staff recommendation for approval with deed covenants
2. Public Hearing
a. Mr. Cole, 8811 SW Spruce, spoke in opposition saying
that the County had recently denied the adjoining
property to the north a zone change to A-2 because
of access and no proximity to other A-2 zoning. He
expressed concern that granting this change would set
a precedent for the area.
Mr. H. W. Kruger, 8807 SW Spruce, explained he had
just bought and moved into the area in order to raise
his children in an open single family area and he
opposed this development which would bring great
density to the area.
Jim Miller, 8808 Spruce, spoke in opposition saying
that the increased traffic would be dangerous for
the 21 children already in this neighborhood, that
this traffic would destroy the roads 89th Street and
Spruce Street which are only 20' wide and maintained by
the surrounding property owners.
b. Mr. Gass, applicant owner, spoke and explained the 50°
road which- he reminded the neighbors would be an
improved public road over which they also could travel.
c. The Public Hearing was closed
3. Commission discussion and action
a. Mr. Severson asked if a temporary plug could be put at
the property line. Mr. Thompson said no, not on a
dedicated street.
b. Mr. Nicoli asked if the lot on which the road would be
built to Hall Boulevard would be annexed to the City.
Mr. Paterson said it would when it was dedicated to
the City.
c. Mr. Perry said he felt the neighborhood would retain
its character because most all the traffic would choose
the improved direct access, as opposed to the indirect
unimproved 20' road. He suggested a cul-de-sac at the
property line on 89th as an alternative.
d. Mr. Phillips asked if the road could be improved by
Mr. Gass to within a few feet of the property line and
planted with shrubs across the end. This was agreed to
be a workable solution which would protect the neighbors'
roads.
e. It was moved (Phillips) , seconded (Perry) and passed
by the unanimous vote of the Commission that the zone
change to A-2 be approved with the deed covenants limiting
development to that shown on the plan presented to the
Commission and labeled #103: development limited to a
maximum of 150 units and the new roads to be improved
page 2
to city standards from Hall Boulevard to the parkway
shown below the north property line, and dedicated to the city.
C. Conditional Use Application: Howard Adkins, owner applicant
A request for a planned residential Conditional Use in the R-7 zone
on his 1.35 acre property located at 10010 SW Garrett Street
(Map 2S1 2CB Tax Lot 3600)
1. Staff recommendation for denial
2. Public Hearing
a. Letters in opposition to the development were read as
received from Mr. F. E. Cresmer, 9980 SW Garrett Street
(property adjoining on the south) , F. E. and Juanita Williams,
10040 SW Garrett Street, Mr. Norman W. Page, 10040 SW Garrett
(property adjoining on the north ) , and a telegram received
from Mr. and Mrs. William Sabisch, 9995 SW Garrett (property
across on Garrett Street)
b. Mr. Paterson explained to Mr. Adkins that the Commission had
taken a good look at his proposal and would not like to
penalize him by disapproving the plans as shown. Suggestion
was made that the hearing be continued at the next meeting
and that, in the meantime, Mr. Adkins work out another plan
showing less density and better circulation within the
development.
c. Mr. Norman Page, 10040 SW Garrett, asked for clarification
of the zonin g property of his which he understood to be A-2.
Mr. Thompson explained that his property had been re-
classified to C-3 at the time of the adoption of the zoning
ordinance in 1967.
3. Commission discussion and action
a. It was moved (Severson) and seconded (Perry) and passed by
unanimous vote of the Commission to continue the Public
Hearing at the next meeting (October 15) .

C. Zoning Ordinance Revisions -
1. Mr. Paterson introduced George Fan, who presented his
proposed revisions for the Zoning Ordinance. These
revisions would add a section on implementation which would
require plans and a program from each applicant for a zone
change, would amend the A-2 section by providing less density
and more open space, and would add a new zone labeled P.U.D.
(Planned Unit Development) for properties four or more acres
in size.
•
2. Mr. Perry asked 'why a planned development couldn't be worked
out on a smaller piece of land. Mrs. Wied explained that Mr.
Fan had recently been asked to work on a new zone or zones
, which would be somewhere between R-7 and A-2 in density. This
would provide much more blending of densities and also give
smaller property owners more flexibility.
3. Mr. Paterson said he would like to divide the Commission into
• two committees: one to write down policies of the Commission
which. would lead to the Master Plan Development, and one which
• would 'work on revisions of the zoning ordinance.
