_I OCT 24 1984 Boost �a James Malatino objected to his property being rezoned residential as he had bought it knowing that it was commercial. He also was concerned about people building homes in back of the commercial property where their front yards would be facing the back of a commercial establishment, such as a convenience store or a gas station. If the boundary line cut through the middle of the block, he noted that a privacy fence could be built to separate commercial from residential. Commissioner Bird -felt with staff's recommendation there at least would be a road between commercial and residential property, whereas under Mr. Malatino's proposal, someone's home could be just a few feet from a commercial structure. He noted that we have not heard from owners of lots 1, 5 and 6 which are on each side of Mr. Malatino's three lots. Mr. Malaltino advised that he was unable to contact the owners of Lots 5 & 6, and the owner of Lot 1 is out of town. Commissioner Lyons asked if anyone else wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bowman asked what would happen if the C-1 line was moved down to 20th Lane. Mr. Shearer repeated staff's feeling that 20th Place would be a good place to draw the line. He explained that there would be 249 -ft. lots fronting on SR -60 which would give plenty of room to meet the setbacks and put a nice buffer at the back of those yards. Residences could be built on the north side of 20th Place and there wouldn't be the worry of trying to develop a commercial building on a lot only 110 feet wide and also providing adequate buffering to a house north of it. He pointed out that most people spend more time in their backyards than their front yards. 14
