Chairwoman Schnabel explained to the Commission that at the May 4, 1977, Planning Commission meeting the decision had been made to recommend to City Council denial of Mr. Peterson's requests for rezoning with the recommendation that the City Council read all the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting to be able to know the feelings of the neighbors and the Commission members regarding those four lots. Mr• Peterson of Lambert & Peterson, 1360 Osborne Road N.E. was present at the meeting. Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that Mr. Peterson would have to indicate any changes to his requests before it went before the City Council.

He said he planned to build R-1 dwellings on Meadowmoor Drive and R-2 dwellings on Osborne Road. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.063, 1, requiring a minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet in an R-2 {two family dwelling areas} zone. Public purpose served to avoid the condition of over crowding of the residential neighborhood. Section 205.063, 4, C, requiring a minimum rear yard of 25% of the lot depth with a minimum of 25 feet in an R-2 {two family dwelling areas} zone. Public purpose served is to provide desired rear yard space to be used for green areas which add to the attractability of the neighborhood. B. STATED HARDSHIP: Lots, if rezoned to R-2, cannot be developed without requested variances. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The configuration of the lot is such that in order to maintain the existing front yard setback of 35 feet, the structure must be shifted to the rear. This shift reduces the rear yard to less than 25% of the lot depth required by City Code. Approval of this request would be contingent upon rezoning of the property. Mrs. Gabel wanted to know if both the Planning Commission and the neighbors wanted R -1's on Meadowmoor Drive. Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that there had been mixed feelings regarding the lots on Meadowmoor; some of the neighbors wanted the lots to remain as C-1 and others would rather see R -11s' built• Mr. Peterson indicated that if the City Council denied his request for rezoning to R-2 on Osborne Road, he would probably withdraw his request for R-1 rezoning on Meadowmoor Drive.' APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 10, 1977 Page 4 Chairwoman Schnabel verified that Mr. Peterson would have the option to withdraw his requests. Mr. Holden, Mr. Peterson, and the Appeals Commission discussed the plans that Mr. Peterson had for the R-2 dwellings to be built on Osborne Road. Mrs. Gabel wanted to know exactly what Mr. Peterson would be requesting at the City Council meeting. Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that Mr. Peterson would be requesting to make the two lots on Osborne Road as R-2 and the two lots on Meadowmoor as R-1. Mr. Peterson indicated that the homes would be built for resale purposes. Mr• Maxey of 1413 Meadowmoor Drive wanted to know what would happen to the lots if City Council denied Mr. Peterson's requests to rezone to R-2 on Osborne Road and Mr. Peterson withdrew his requests to rezone to R-1 on Meadowmoor Drive• Chairwoman Schnabel told him that the lots would then remain as C-1 lots. Mr. Maxey wanted to know if the people on Osborne Road would be notified of that meeting. He indicated that many of the people on Osborne Road assumed the lots were to be kept as C-1. Chairwoman Schnabel said that Mr. Boardman, the City Planner, had indicated at the Planning Commission meeting that, in this particular case, the people within 200 feet b of the lots in question would be sent notices of the City Council meeting. Chairwoman Schnabel also indicated that the people on Osborne Road had no right to assume anything until a final decision had been reached by the City Council or if Mr. Peterson would withdraw his entire request. She said that if the people on Osborne Road were opposed to the building of R -2°s on those lots, they should be at the City Council meeting. Chairwoman Schnabel told the audience that if they did not receive a notice of the May 16, 1977, City Council meeting, that they should call City Hall to confirm that the items would.be appearing before the City Council on that date. Mr. Heille of 1418 Meadowmoor Drive wanted to know if Mr. Peterson owned the lot located between the Beauty Shop and the house on Central Avenue {Lot 271. Mr. Peterson indicated that Mr•Chies owned that particular lot• APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 10,.1977 Page 5 Mr. Heille want to know what Lot 27 was zoned as. Mr• Holden indicated that it was zoned as R-1. Mr• Heille suggested that all the remaining lots in the area should be zoned R-1• Chairwoman Schnabel indicated to Mr. Heille that he should consult the Zoning Map located at City Hall whenever he had a question regarding the zoning on any lot. Mr. Holden asked Mrs. Peterson that if he got approval for the rezoning and the variances, would he be building the houses at the same time. Mr. Peterson indicated that he would build on all four lots at the same time. MOTION by Mr. Plemel,.seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:10 P.M. Mr. Holden indicated that there were at least four structures like the ones Mr. Peterson proposed to build located in the City. He said that all were working out fine both structurally and aesthetically. The Appeals Commission discussed further the deisgn plans of the double bungalows that Mr. Peterson was proposing to build on the two lots on Osborne Road.
