MAR 2 4.1987 BOOK 67 F,�,E 700 increased by one lot. He pointed out that they would have to go through the site plan process with landscaping and buffering, and they have designed the duplex to be very nice and not a deterrent to the neighborhood. Mr. Sommers advised that they have signed an agreement.with the County that they will maintain the road in front of this duplex regardless of what the rest of the property owners in Roseland Gardens decide to do. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the recently reactivated homeowners association, and they are addressing the problems in the subdivision and looking at feasibility studies and alternatives on road maintenance in this area. Mr. Sommers concluded by stating that he did not feel this lot was going to be incompatible with what is in there, and they don't feel that they are out of line in requesting the rezoning. Commissioner Eggert asked why staff didn't request the RT -6 now, and Mr. Shearer explained that part of the reason is that there is existing RM -6 to the north, and instead of having one lot zoned RT -6, it seemed more sensible to do RM -6. However, he felt we probably should convert all of this to RT -6 sometime in the future. Milton Stocker, 8406 Floraland Avenue, felt we are not talking about density or anything else here. He believed we are talking about realtors' profit, and while he appreciates that the applicants want to realize as much out of their investment as possible, he is in the same position. He has his life savings tied up in property that he bought in good faith. He purchased lots 9 and 10 on Block 7 because of the way Roseland Gardens was zoned, and if he had wanted to live in a duplex area, he would have bought in a duplex area. Mr. Stocker urged the Board to stop this rezoning. Wanda Wildin, 8445 Campbell Avenue, believed that although Mr. Sommers plans to landscape the duplex, the rental units will go downhill because they will never be maintained properly. 51
