This plat presented tonight is an amended plat which includes the additional piece of property.

Mr. Angevine stated the foregoing resolution is adopted. Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition 2393 7..351 by Canham & Mc Donald for Lawrence Development Company ask- ing for a zoning change on property located on the est side of iddlebelt on the Northeast corner of Elmira Avenue and Iiddle- belt in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 37 from R1B to C-2. Mr. Angevine asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to s peak. Mr. Frank Hodson, 29322 Elmira, objected to the proposed change in zoning because he felt it would result in a depressed market value to the adjacent residential property. He stated further that there was sufficient amount of commercial zoning in the immediate area. A registered letter written to the Lawrence Development Company, pe titioner, was submitted to the Commission by Mr. Hodson, unopened and with the notation that the addressee was unknown. Mr. Hodson stated this was done in order that he could ask the petitioner and owner to clean up this area as it was unsi ghtly. Stated further that he would prefer to see a PS zoning for this area rather than the Commercial zoning, in th event that it was to be changed. Mr. Alec Nemeth, 29244 rlmira felt the commercial zoning would be- come a traffic hazard at this corner due to the fact that Elmira was a Fire Route and also it is a thoroughfare for the school bus. Objected to proposed rezoning. Mr. G. Gannage, 29200 Elmira , concurred with previous objectors . James Canham, representative for the Lawrence Development Co. , arrived at this time and stated the petitioner is asking for a Commercial zoning because they felt it would correspond with the zoning in the area. Stated they felt it was undesirable for resi- dential zonings tha t the FHA would not finance a mortgage for this parcel for a residence. The developer would protect the adjacent property to the east, owned by Mr. F. Hodson, with a greenbelt under the requirements of the ordinance. At the present time, nothing definite has been decided as to what is proposed for this property but if a gasoline station or dry-cleaning plant is decided upon, it would have to come before the City Planning Commission for approval. Mr. Greene asked that Mr. Hodson restate his objection to the petition to Mr. Canham which I:ir. Hodson complied with. Mr. Hodson asked Mr. Canham if the petitioner would consider a PS zoning for this corner lot. Mr. Canham stated that the PZ zoning did not allow commercial uses. Mr. Greene asked if in the event this petition is approved for commercial zoning, what would the developer be prepared to do in order to protect the home owner adjacent to the property in question, in the way of a greenbelt over and above the ordinance. Mr. Canham stated the petitioner would cooperate with the home 2394 owner and also that the parking facilities would be those required by the ordinance . Mr. Anderson asked if it is planned to use this property as an expansion to hroger Company located on the corner of i:iiddlebelt and Plymouth, north of the property in question, This was ascertained to be true. Mr. Hodson stated he has not given any thought as to what he would like if the commercial zoning is allowed. He had come to the public hearing to object to the proposed rezoning, not to decide what to do if it is approved. Mr. Anderson suggested that this item be taken under advisement in order that the petitioner and the adjacent home owner can come to some agreement. Mr. Angevine stated this item would be taken under advisement. Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition "7-358 by Leonard R. Farber in behalf of Gilbert R. & Dorothy L. Rohde and .,.arvin C. and iriadeline T. Primerer, who is asking for a zoning change on property located on the East side of Levan approximately 1350 ft. South of Five Mile Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 20 from AGB to Rl. Mr. Gieryn was present for the petitioners . There was no one in the audience who wished to spea k. The question was raised as to whether or not this petition w ould have to be readvertised because the original petition had not stated the A or B classificati:m. fir. Kropf felt that the public was not being harmed as to determining the classification at this time, since it did not affect the zoning classification. Mr. Gieryn stated that the developer prefers the R1B classification but if the Planning Commission desires it to be R1A, they would be w illing to be agreeable to request the R1A classification Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Anderson, supported by Mr. Walker, it was #2-48-59 R-'SOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby allow petitioner for Petition r-358 to verbally amend said petition to read "R1A", to be folloNed by a letter of confirmation by petitioner. Mr. Harsha asked if the Planning Commission was putting the petitioner under duress requesting the R1A class- ification instead of the R1B classification. Mr. Greene explained to Mr. Gieryn that in a populated neighbor- hood the City Planning Commission has approved a R1B classification if the surrounding area warrants it but in a new area, not pop- ulated, the Commission prefers the R1A classification. 2395 Mr. Gieryn stated he would like to verbally amend the petition, not under duress, to re ad R1A. A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution #2-48-59 resulted in the following: AYES: Peacock, Kane, Walker, Harsha, Anderson, Robinson, and Angevine NAYS: None NOT VOTING: Greene The Chairman declared the foregoing resolution adopted.

Farber, f or a change of zoning from AGB to R1A in Northeast 1/4 of Section 20, the City Planning Commission does hereby take Petition ^-358 under advisement for further study and until the petitioner has submitted a letter of confirmation on verbally amending petition to read "R1A". A roll callvote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the follwoi ng: AYES: Peacock, Kane, dualker, Anderson, Robinson NAYS: Harsha, Angevine NOT VOTING: Greene The Chairman declared the foregoing resolution adopted : Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition 7-359 Leonard R. Farber in behalf of Gilbert B. and Dorothy L. Rohde and Marvin C. and Madeline T. Priemer, asking for a zoning change on property located on the East Side of Levan Road approximately 650 ft. South of Five Mile Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 20 from AGB to R-3 . Mr. Gieryn representing Mr. Farber, and other petitioners. Mr. Robinson suggested this item also be taken under advisement for further study as it relates to the previous petition Z-358. There was no one in the audience who wished to speak either in favor or against petition. The Chairman declared that this item would be taken under advise- ment. Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition 7,-360 by Robert J. Silberstein for John E. Reding, Jr. and Virginia L. Reding, a sking for a zoning change on property located on the East side of Newburgh Road approximately 2000 ft. South of Six Mile Road running easterly to Levan Road in the Northwest 1/4 239 6 of Section 17 from AGB to R1A for the western 30 acres and from AGB to R-3 for the eastern 10 acres . Mr. Silberstein was present representing petitioners. Mr. Silberstein stated that after examining the Master Pattern, it was noted that five of the 10 acres which are being requested for a R-3 zoning classification, were designated for Commercial Zoning. After discussin ; this with Ur. Mc Cullough, it was learned that the City Council probably would not favor following the Master Pattern in this instance because of the proximity of the school to the commercial area. This was further discussedwith the FH A and it was r�enerally believed that a R-3 zoning in this location would be quite sensible as there was a definite need for R-3 in this particular area, due to the fact that property that was originall y planned for R-3 is not being contemplated for R1 platting. Mr. Walker suggested that this item be taken under advisement. The other commissioners concurred with lir. ' alker' s su6gestion. Mr. Greene stated that this R-3 would be the first opening wedge of R-3 in this area and that he cvas reluctant to start this. The Chairman declaredthat this item would be taken under advisement . Mr. Mc Cullough announced that the next item on the agenda was Petition 7-362 by Harry Lightstone who is asking for a zoning cha nge on property located on the North side of Joy Road on the Northwest corner of Hix and Joy in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 31 from AGB and RUF3 to R1B and C-2, the East 300 and South 300 ft. being the Northwest corner of Hix Road and Joy Road to the C-2 classification and the remainder of the aforementioned described property to R13. Mr. Harry B. .'•right representing petitioner. Mr. Cullough stated that the petitioner had submitted a letter requesting that the 300 x 300 ft. commercial a rea be increased to 600 ft. , but he had informed their. that this could not be done as it had been published as 300 ft. There was no one in the audience who wished to speak. It was decided by the commission to taken this item under advise- ment for further stuay. Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition -363 by Ben & Irene Pollock who are asking for a zoning change on property located on the East side of Middlebelt Road Aprroxi- mately 120 ft. North of Vassar in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 1 from RUF to C-2. Mr. Ben Pollock and Mr. Clarence Charest, attorney for petitioner, were present. Mr. Charest stated that their reason for resoning was due to the banks not desiring to finance any business under the RUFB classi- fication; also Mr. Pollock is not allowed to sell Christmas trees, nor is he allowed to put up a sign under the present zoning. 2397 Mr. Angevine asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to spe ak either in favor or against petition. Mr. John Jennings, 19590 ::iiddlebelt stated he lived two lots away from the nursery. The frontage of the nursery is beneficial to the surrounding property but the side of it is very unsightly. Mr. Jennings read and submitted a petition signed by 50 property owners objecting to the proposed rezoning and requesting that the Commission deny said petition. Mr. Chas. Hopton, 19549 Middlebelt, objected to the proposed rezon- ing to Commercial as he felt this might be the beginning of con- tinued commercial area on Middlebelt where presently it is residential. Mrs. J. Jennings, 19590 Middlebelt s tated her objection to said rezoning, felt it would be an opening wedge for more commercial. Mr. Walker suggested that this item be taken under advisement in order to determine if the matter could be straightened out with- out having to change the zoning to a commercial classification.

Mr. Mc Cullough announced that the next item on the agenda was a request from the Madison Civic Association to change building classification from a B Classification to an A classification in the South half of Section 13 and that part of the Northwest 1/4 of Se ction 13, lying South of .gell Creek. Mr. A. Chartrand, 15500 Foch, was present representing the i+iadison Civiv Association. Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Peacock, supported by vir. Kane, it was #2 -59 RESOLVED that, p ursuant to a request by the Madison Civic Associa tion to change the classification from RUFB and RIB to RUFA and R1A in the South half of Section 13 and that part of the Northwest i/4 of Section 13, lying south of Bell Creek, the City Planning Commission does hereby grant said request. 2399 Mr. Chartrand stated that the Civic Association was not asking for a change in the zoning class ifica tion. They were only inter- ested in changing the building classification from "B" to "A". Mr. Peacock stated he would like to withdraw his motion; Mr. Kane withdrew his support . The question was raised whether or not a public hearing is neces- sary in order to make this change. Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Peacock, it was #2- -S9 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a request by the Madison Civic Association to change the classification from "B" to "A" in the South half of section 13 and that part of the Northwest 1/4 of section 13, lying South of Bell Creek, the City Planning Commission does hereby make a motion to hold a public hearing to determine whether or not to amend the building Classification in said area. Mr. Walker suggested that this matter be referred to the City Planner to determine whether a public hearing is required on this before action can be taken. Mr. Angevine stated that there was a motion on the floor but had not been supported as yet. Mr. Harsha s tated this would be an upgrading and that there should not be an objection to an uprading. Mr. Peacock stated he would like to determine if this area is considerably built up and how many residents are requesting this change. Mr. Chartrand stated that the majority of the homes conform to the "A" classification. There is a certain amount of vacant 'property a nd if this is developed into the "B" classification, it would down-grade the area, consequently it wa s thought if the classification could be raised it would be more compatible to the surrounding residential property. Mr. Balker stated that i+ir. Mc Cullough and he had investigated the area and had determined there was very little property remaining to be developed and that in the R1B area the houses conformed to a R1A classification. Mr. Robinson asked if it was necessary to hold a public hearing for a change of the building classification or did the Planning Commission have the authority to change building classifications without a public hearing. Mr. Kropf stated he felt that this item should be a dvertised for this particular section and other parts of the city before action is taken as some property owners may object. 2 400 Mr. Robinsonstated he would like to have the motion repea ted by Mr. Peacock. Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Peacock, supported by Mr. Robinson, it was #2- -59 RESOL'VED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby make a motion to hold a public hearing to determine whether or not the building cla ssification, in all sec- tions of the city for which we have had a public hearing under the Master Pattern, be changed from a "B" classi- fication to a "A" classification.

Mr. Mc Cullough stated that he had determined that all the lots were 7200 sq. ft. or over. Mr. Robinson stated that inasmuch as the lots were so very shallow, it would be wise to ask that they be made wider in order that the property owners could have as attached garage. Mr. 1'alker asked what was the request from the Zoning Board of Appeals in relation to corner lots for attached garages and breezeways. It was ascertained that they had requested at least 75 ft. in width. Mr. '"alker felt that the plat committee should be allowed to ex- amine plat and submit their recommendations. Mr. Mc Cullough stated that the revised plat had come into the Planning office late and there had not been time to forward them to the Plat Committee. 2401 Mr. Robinson suggested that this be taken under advisement until the Plat Committee had had time to study it further.
