OCT 151980 WOK 44,Pjce-931 LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITIES OF THE MASTER PLAN; AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE REALIZATION THAT MULTI -FAMILY USES WITH LOW DENSITIES CREATE A MUCH BETTER USE OF THE LAND THAN SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE SECONDED THE MOTION AND CONCURRED WITH THE REASONING PLUS THE CONSIDERATION OF THE SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY; THE CONCERNS AS TO THE COST OF PROVIDING UTILITIES IN MULTI -FAMILY DISTRICT; AND THE FACT THAT IT IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE LAND. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE COULD NOT SUPPORT THAT ORDINANCE; IN THE FIRST PLACE, THAT PLACES THE R -2B ON THE BEACH AND WHICH MAKES IT S UNITS PER ACRE, HE CONTINUED THAT IT IS PRESENTLY ZONED 6 UNITS PER ACRE IN R-1, AND HE COULD NOT SUPPORT ANY ORDINANCE THAT INCREASES DENSITY ON THE BEACH. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THERE ARE TWO PIECES OF PROPERTY - THE ONE ON ONE SIDE OF A -1-A WILL BE ZONED ONE WAY, AND THE OTHER SIDE OF A -1-A WILL BE ZONED ANOTHER. HE DOES NOT DOUBT THE INTEGRITY OF THE DEVELOPERS BUT THE FACT IS THAT THERE WILL BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF A -1-A, A DENSITY OF S UNITS PER ACRE. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS HOW THE BOARD WILL SAY THE REST OF THE BEACH CAN GO - THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY IS ZONED MULTI- FAMILY. COMMISSIONER LYONS WONDERED IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO D0, AS RIGHT NOW THE PROPERTY IS ZONED R-1 AT 6 UNITS PER ACRE. HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE PROPERTY HAVE A DENSITY OF S UNITS PER ACRE. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED 3 TO 1, WITH COMMISSIONER LYONS VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
