Mr. Young also expressed concern about the drain on water that would be created by a higher density. Glenn Riffle, Sheila Hawkins, Bill Culp, and J. Chalmes Holmes, residents of 25th Street, all expressed strong opposition to the proposed rezoning which would allow multiple housing, basing their opposition on its adverse impact on the character of the neighborhood, water and traffic. Lillian Littler, resident of 8025 West Side Drive, which is zoned R-1AA, spoke in opposition for herself and her neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. James Odum. She saw the need for multiple family areas, but felt this is a poor place for them and creates practically a spot zoning attempt..,, No one further wished to be heard. On Motion by commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons that the amended appeal for rezoning to R -2A be denied on the basis that it would be inconsistent with the property to the east and west, seconded by Commissioner Fletcher on the basis that there has been overwhelming evidence from existing property owners that it would definitely affect their existing life style. Commissioner Wodtke discussed density, pointing out that R-lAA which is 2.6 density, would allow up to 100 units of single family, and he did not feel it world be fair to restrict a developer to utilizing one acre lots when he is in an area where there are mobile homes and some R-lA which is a density of 4.3. He stressed the advantages controlled multi -family would offer. Commissioner Lyons agreed we might have more open space and better development if we went to R -2A, but noted that the people in the area seem to feel strongly about multi family. 59 APR 211982 BOX 9AW9
