4 <br />77 <br />1R. ANSIN POINTED OUT THAT MOST OF THE PROPOSED R-3 IS NOW <br />ZONED COMMERCIAL AND HAS BEEN ZONED COMMERCIAL OVER TWENTY YEARS. IN <br />HIS VIEW, AT LEAST IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR BEING ASKED FOR SUPPORT <br />OF THE PLAN TO ELIMINATE THE STRIP, IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO.PERHAPS BE <br />ZONING AHEAD, BUT NEVERTHELESS HAVE A REASONABLE PLAN FOR FUTURE USE <br />AS AN OFFSET TO THE COUNTY'S REQUEST FOR REDUCTION OF THE COMMERCIAL <br />AREA. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE COULD NOT TOTALLY DISAGREE <br />WITH THAT. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED AGAIN THAT R-3 IS THE HIGHEST DENSITY <br />IN THE COUNTY, AND ALLOWS 15 UNITS PER ACRE. <br />MR. ANSIN FELT THEY WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO LESS DENS-ITY AND THAT <br />A DENSITY OF 8-12 COULD ACCOMPLISH THE PLAN HE HAS IN MIND. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT THE MASTER PLAN INDICATES LOW <br />DENSITY FOR THE AREA, <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT EXPLAINED THAT THE BOARD PROBABLY DID NOT <br />CHANGE THIS BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE ZONING HEARING WAS COMING UP AND WERE <br />SOMEWHAT GUESSING ABOUT WHAT THE AREA WOULD LOOK LIKE. HE STATED THAT IF <br />WE DO CHANGE IT, WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS THE MASTER PLAN <br />AGAIN BEFORE JULY. <br />. MRS. MCCAIN CAME BEFORE THE BOARD'AND STATED THAT SHE OWNS <br />LOTS 4 AND 5 IN UNIT 1 IN THE PROPOSED R-3 AREA DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THE <br />LAKE. SHE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT SHE AND HER SISTER PURCHASED THIS <br />COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTY FROM_MR. ANSIN Z% YEARS AGO FOR RETIREMENT <br />PURPOSES, SHE CONTINUED THAT AST BECAUSE THEY ARE LITTLE OWNERS OF <br />LAND, SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE TO SIT BACK AND GO ALONG <br />WITH THIS, WHICH SHE DOES NOT FEEL IS CORRECT. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED, AND DID NOT FEEL WE SHOULD TRADE <br />BACK AND FORTH_, BUT THAT EACH THING MUST BE CONSIDERED ON ITS OWN MERITS. <br />MRS. MCCAIN CONTINUED THAT SHE NEVER DREAMT TIDE COMMERCIAL <br />STRIP ALONG THE ROAD WOULD BE ELIMINATED AND REPLACED WITH R-3. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF SHE FELT IT SHOULD REMAIN <br />COMMERCIAL WHERE THE R-3 DENSITY IS PROPOSED, AND WHETHER SHE WOULD RATHER <br />LOOK TO THE NORTH ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY -INSTEAD OF MULTI -FAMILY. <br />WA <br />
