Rezoning Request - Marie Nichols, Holahan Realty, Inc. - 82-Z-0l Patti McCann explained the background of this request. The previous Zoning and Planning Board approved having a public hearing, but a date was never set. Marie Nichols, representing Mr. John Griffith, was present and is requesting a change from R-3 and 1-1 to R-4 multi-family. Mr. Holahan presented a map of the area which showed neighboring properties zone"d R-5 and R-4. The enclave that will be created was discussed. Further dis- cussion followed. Moved by Mr. Gaffney, seconded by Mr. Slaney, and CARRIED 4-0, to recommend approval to the City Council, and for the Council to take note of the en- clave, which should also be rezoned. Proposal by Councilman Wilbur to Reduce Townhouse Living Area Requirements Councilman Wilbur is proposing a reduction of townhouse living area require- ments of R-4 from the present 750 Sq Ft to allow one bedroom units at 600 Sq Ft. The present requirement is for 750 Sq Ft per dwelling unit. Mr. Holahan addressed the Commission stating that smaller living areas are the trend of the future. He noted that R-5A zoning already has a minimum 550 Sq Ft requirement. Mr. Garthwaite, Silver Ridge, a member of the audience, expressed his opposition to this reduction, as it may affect his Silver Ridge lifestyle. Moved by Mrs. Griffith, seconded by Mr. Gaffney, and CARRIED 4-0, to take this proposal under consideration and discuss it further at the next meeting.
