OCT 15 1980 FOR REZONING. ►oK 44 PArfi 9?'% COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED HE MUST CONSIDER THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY; THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THIS PROPERTY, AND APPLY THAT USE INTO THE EXISTING LAND USE, ALSO, HE MUST CONSIDER WHETHER IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE AREA, AND WHETHER IT SHOULD BE SINGLE-FAMILY OR MULTI -FAMILY. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THE REQUEST, AS SUBMITTED, WAS NOT AN INCREASE IN DENSITY, AS HAS BEEN INDICATED. HE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS, AND IN THE PAST, THE BOARD WAS CONCERNED ABOUT VISTA PROPERTIES AND THE MOORINGS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE MENTIONED OUR PRESENT ZONING ORDINANCES AND BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS NOT SPOT ZONING. HE BELIEVED THE PRESENTATION ADDRESSED THE NECESSARY ITEMS AS TO THE CONCERN FOR WATER AND SEWER; AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED BY THE REGULATORY AGENCIES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT PACKAGE PLANTS ARE NOT THE MOST DESIRABLE BUT PACKAGE PLANTS ARE ACCEPTABLE. IF THEY ARE NOT, THEN WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A .JOHN'S ISLAND TODAY. HE CONCLUDED BY NOTING THAT BY LEAVING THE WESTERLY AREA IN R -2A, AND HAVING THE EASTERLY AREA IN R -2B, THAT IS VERY MUCH IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT IS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND HE,THOUGHT THE BOARD SHOULD APPROVE THE REQUEST AS MODIFIED. COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT NOT TO MAKE THE MOST POPULAR DECISION. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS INTERESTING THAT NO ONE HAD ADDRESSED THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THE PROPERTY - THAT WILL WEIGH VERY HEAVILY UPON THE DECISION OF THE BOARD. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THIS APPLICATION WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF THE BOARD IF THERE HAD BEEN IN EFFECT A PROPER. -WAY TO MOVE TO THE MULTI -FAMILY USAGE. SHE ADDED THAT THIS APPLICATION HAS COME THROUGH THE GOVERNMENTAL PROCEDURES SINCE THE FIRST OF .JULY, SO THERE IS NOTHING HASTY TODAY, AND THIS PROPOSAL APPEARS TO BE IN LINE WITH THE NEW THINKING THAT IS COMING ON OUR MASTER PLAN. COMMISSIONER Loy WOULD LIKE TO FEEL THAT THE MASTER PLAN WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME; HOWEVER, SHE THOUGHT THE BOARD MUST GO THROUGH THE DUE PROCESS TO THE PETITIONERS AS THEY COME TO THE BOARD.
