RECEIVE VARIOUS MINUTES FROM SUBCOMMITTEES *ON 40 FOOT LQ* ' Chairwoman Wahlberg explained that at the next Commission meeting_of. 'Apr 1 } 27, 1976, they would be receiving from the City Council final approval on 40 foot lot regulations. She said it had come before the Planning Commission at their last meeting, and they concurred with theStipulations on page 4'' from the Community Development Commission. She noted that the Environmental Commission and the Human Resources Commission also concurred. 'She told the Board she felt if they got this information at this meeting they'would,have time to become acquainted with the topics, and on the 27th it could be discussed in relation to what the Council said. Mr. Kemper asked how the petitioner's request fit in with the four stipulations` of the Community Development Commission, and Chairwoman Wahlberg said there would be at least one stipulation he would not be meeting --that being the one requiring a maximum of 25% coverage. She informed the Board that this person - was proposing a $36,000 house to be located at 4800 -.0-2 Street. Chairwoman Wahlberg said that it had been found that.the-40 foot lots. were.. mostly on corners, or were adjacent to other lots that were also, 40 feet.` She said that it was recommended that if there was land available on either side that it be bought. Mr. Barna asked if it had been discussed how a person could be forced to buy an adjacent lot, and Chairwoman Wahlberg replied -that if the Board felt the adjacent land owner was asking an unreasonable sumJ, it should'be part of the Board's recommendation that somehow this would ha�ve-�to be worked out between the two parties. She said the person next door co9A'd2` not ask an exorbitant amount just to prevent the neighbor from buying. Mr. Barna suggested that if they were asking an extremely, high-pricei the land should be considered not available. Chairwoman Wahlberg said that the concensus was that building should be ' allowed on 40 foot lots, but there was no clear cut feeling on how to 'go`" about it. She noted that any denials the Board came up with would"have' be firmly stated in writing, and their feelings should be made very .1; a in order to avoid any possible lawsuits. She asked :the members of,.the Commission to study the discussions by the next meeting.
