Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Meeting dates to be changed to the Thursday morning prior to the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. The first item of business that came up was the Kinc a mmon's Subdivi s i on located between Dartmouth and Cornell and between Clarkson and Ogden. The problem of opening up Emerson Street has tentatively been worked out pending getting final dedication from Brummage and other property owners to allow a 50 ft. wide street with the alley runnin g east and west to be widened to a 20 feet to allow access onto Ogden Street. Final approval of the plat would be made after these d edications were made and after the deeds were obta~ned from the adjoining property owners for the street and alley as above described. Next was the proposed annexation of eleven blocks bounded by the following description: Lenigh and Huron Streets west to Jason, south to Chenango, east to Huron, south to Belleview, east to Fox, north to Grand, east to Elati, north to Chenango, east to Delaware, south to Layton, and west to point o f beginning. Mr. Belts property which is the two blocks north of Layton and West of Huron Street should be included in this proposed annexing area. It was the Planning Commission's feeling that zoning should be made effective the date the annexation becomes effective in order to control the building size and building sites and setback in this area. The third item was presented by Mr . Vernon Pinkerton who owns property facing west on Galapago in the 3800 block approximately 250 feet in length. Mr. Pinkerton asked the Planning Commission for permission to subdivide the parcel on the basis of 50 feet frontage building sites with a 720 square foot residence. Any action was deferred on this matter until such time as the members of the Commission could make inspection of the area as related to other homes in the area. Wright, Janssen, and Jones made an inspection immediately following the meeting and it was the consensus of opinion of those members that the building site frontage should be kept on a 60 foot frontage basis plus or minus 2 ! feet because the majority of the adjacen~ building sites were on a 75 foot frontage basis . Mr. Pinkerton was informed by Jones of the opinion and Mr. Pinkerton was going to check further into lF.H.A. approval and probably present his problem at the next meeting. I I I
