AN ADDITIONAL RESIDENCE ON HER PROPERTY. THE AREA IS DESIGNATED LOW <br />DENSITY, AND THERE ARE SCATTERED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE VICINITY. <br />MS. LANCASTER CONTINUED THAT TWO PARCELS SOUTH OF ROUND ISLAND PARK <br />HAVE BEEN REZONED TO R-1, BUT THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION -DENIED <br />THE REQUEST AS CONSTITUTING SPOT ZONING AND RECOMMENDED THAT A STUDY <br />BE MADE IN REGARD TO REZONING THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION. <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER REPORTED THAT THE PLANNING STAFF DID <br />GO DOWN AND INVESTIGATE THIS ENTIRE AREA TO DETERMINE ITS NATURE AND <br />CHARACTER AND MAKE SOME DETERMINATION OF WHAT SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT TAKE <br />PLACE IN THE WAY OF ZONING. THEIR INVESTIGATION SHOWED THERE IS VERY <br />LITTLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND THAT THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION <br />OF WATER AVAILABILITY. THERE ALSO IS A NATURAL SENSITIVITY IN THE WHOLE <br />AREA TO EROSION BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE OCEAN. MR. REVER FELT <br />AN INCREASE IN'DENSITY AND THE RESULTANT INCREASE OF ACTIVITY WOULD NOT <br />BE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT THE AREA NOW IS OR SHOULD COME TO BE. THE <br />PLANNING STAFFS RECOMMENDATIONS WERE THAT REZONING PROBABLY SHOULD NOT <br />BE CONSIDERED, PARTICULARLY NORTH OF ROUND ISLAND PARK, AND THE FACT <br />THAT SOME REZONING TO R-1 HAS BEEN GRANTED SOUTH OF ROUND ISLAND PARK <br />DOES NOT MEAN THE BOARD SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO S0. THE PLANNING DIRECTOR <br />POINTED OUT THAT ALL THE PARCELS IN KANSAS CITY COLONY, EXCEPT.FOR THE <br />SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ONE OTHER PARCEL, HAVE SUFFICIENT FOOTAGE SO THAT <br />TETE OWNERS, IF THEY WISHED, COULD SUBDIVIDE THEIR LAND INTO TWO LOTS. <br />TETE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. <br />EDWIN SCHMUCKER CAME BEFORE THE BOARD REPRESENTING THE OWNER, <br />AND STATED THE WHOLE PREMISE AND REASON FOR THE REQUEST FOR REZONING <br />WAS BECAUSE THE BOARD ALREADY HAS REZONED TWO LOTS IN KANSAS CITY COLONY <br />TO R-1., AND THERE WAS AN ASSUMPTION THAT IT WAS A GENERAL POLICY TO SO <br />REZONE THESE .LOTS. HE THOROUGHLY DISAGREED WITH MR. REVER THAT THERE <br />IS ANY REASON FOR REZONING THE LOTS SOUTH OF THE PARK AS OPPOSED TO <br />THOSE NORTH OF THE PARK. HE NOTED THAT THERE ARE 126 LOTS IN KANSAS <br />CITY COLONY; THEY ARE ALL 50` LOTS; AND HE DID NOT SEE WHY THOSE TO <br />THE SOUTH ARE OF ANY DIFFERENT CHARACTER. MR. SCHMUCKER QUOTED FROM <br />THE -MINUTES OF MAY 11TH WHERE ASSISTANT PLANNER BOB BERG SPOKE OF THE <br />41 <br />JUL 5 1979 soon . 41 PAGE IN8 <br />
