� r �■s Continuing, Attorney O'Neill explained how the boundaries were drawn for the properties included in the PRO application. He noted that in 1987 the Commission modified the PRO ordinance to say that if the property is adjacent to a commercial node, only 21 acres are needed to qualify for PRO, thus their entrance into the application before the Board today. He felt that Mr. Jones, the owner of the 40 -year old house on the corner of 56th Avenue adjacent to Ryanwood Shopping Center has done a pretty good job of keeping up his property because he lives there. The immediate two houses to the east are owned by Mark Ashdown, trustee, and Attorney O'Neill stated that he has a minority interest in both of those properties. Only one adjacent property owner has objected to the proposed rezoning. They need the properties on 55th Avenue in Dearie Pines because the ordinance requires 21 acres and because of the 300 -ft. depth restriction. The applicants are willing to withdraw the second house in on 55th Avenue where he used to live. He emphasized that he built that house 10 years ago before Ryanwood was built and it still is a nice house and he has nice tenants living there at the present time. His immediate concern was 56th Avenue, but felt they had to include 55th Avenue in the application. At the request of Commissioner Bird, Attorney O'Neill pointed out the property the applicants intend to delete from the rezoning request. Attorney O'Neill advised that there is a declaration of restrictions on Dearie Pines, which he helped to draft, that prevents any uses besides residential. Several years ago there was an attempt to modify the declaration of restrictions, which was signed by at least 500 of the property owners, to allow for PRO on the 2 end parcels on SR -60 with the feeling being that it is not a good place for residential. He noted that only a simple majority is needed to change a deed restriction. 26 SEP 13 1988 Boor 74 159
