,FEB 13 t3ool; 7 Planner Loeper believed what we are talking about is the general area between King's Highway on the west; 43rd Avenue on the east; 8th Street on the North; and 13th St. SW on the south. Chairman Eggert commented that the Civic Association is suggesting that the Green Area, which has been moved from LD -1 to LD -2, be brought back to LD -1. Commissioner Scurlock believed part of that request is based on the existing subdivision being shaded a higher density, and it is colored what it is so that it is in conformity. Commissioner Bird realized the requests by the Civic Associ- ation are for downzoning to lesser densities than those shown on our existing map, but, on the other hand, some of the people here today are saying they want it higher -than what shows on the existing map. Discussion ensued regarding the Kelly and Morris properties which Attorney Nall is representing. The Morris property is right across the street from the Freeman request - right across 58th Avenue on 8th Street. Director Keating noted that it is a little to the west, and stated that certainly reducing this from 6 to 3 would be no problem from the flood plain standpoint. Staff suggests keeping this the same and leaving the pink here because of Pine Tree Park Subdivision. In both of these, staff's rationale was to increase densities within the Urban Service Area where services are available, and there are major conflicts of suitability. Commissioner Scurlock noted that, in other words, staff wouldn't mind taking it to LD -1 except for the part that is existing, and this was confirmed by Director Keating. Chairman Eggert had a question regarding the fact that one of the requests goes into the "R" along 8th Street. Director Keating advised that the ones in the "R" are in a flood plain, and with lower densities, they may be easier to work with. 94
