July 20 , 1955 Planning Commission Members Present: Janssen , Guilford, Jones, Rudd, Wright. Planning Consultant Present: Mr. Henninger. There were thirty-five citizens in attendance. Chairman Janssen opened the meeting and introduced Planning Consultant, Mr. Henninger. Mr. Henninger spoke regarding the proposed new ordinance pointing out the main points of interest both regarding the law and the restrictive parts of the document. He then ex- plained the map and the reasoning involved in setting it up as it is . Mr. Herman Oliner was recognized and expressed his views regarding the changing of zoning of the area in which his greenhouses are located from present A-1 to Residential . Mr . Oliner felt that the ordinance should provide for greenhouses in the area in such a way as to keep them from becoming non-conforming. Mr. Oliner was assured that either provisions would be made for gree nhouses in the zo ning or that, in any case, no change in operations would be necessary at a n y f uture time. Mr. John Hollberg, representing the Hollberg Greenhouses and speaking as owner of Blocks 14, and 21, Englwood Subdivision, was recognized. Mr. Hollberg pointed out that the new proposed zoning would spl it both blocks making the East half of the blocks residential district and the West half o f t he blocks li g ht industrial. Mr. Hollberg desires that Block 14, between South Galapago St. and S outh Huron St. and Ithica Place and West Jefferson Ave . be considered entirely for Residential use instead of half light industrial and half residential zoning; and, that Block 21, between South Galapa g o St. and South Huron St. and West Jefferson Ave. and West Kenyon Avenue be considered entirely for Light Industrial. Mrs. James E. Wolfe, 3747 South Sherman St., presented a petition signed by 61 property owners in the area bounded by East Kenyon Avenue on the North, East Leh i gh Avenue on the South, the Broadway-South Lincoln St. alley on the West and the Somth Sherman-South Grant Street alley on the East, protesting the changing of the area from present R-2 zoning to R-3. Mr. Charles Heltman, 3897 South Inca, presented a petit ion signed by 16 property owners in the vicinity of Block 13, Logandale Addition, prote s t ing the proposed Light industry zoning on the West half of Block 13, located between West Lehigh Avenue on the North, West Mansfield Avenue on the South, South Jason St. on the West and the South Inca-South Jason St. alley on the East. The petition expresses a desire for the West half of Block 13 , Logandale , to be zoned Residential district rather than Light Industrial. Mr. C. R. Virgil and Mr. Adla , both property owners in the 3500 block South Bannock , West side of the street, voiced approval of C-1 proposed zoning. PAGE 96 Mr. ·Earl Hahn stated that he owned a site in the 4300 block of South Fox St. which is only 50 feet in width. He desired to know, if he would be allowed to build a house on this site under the new zoning ordinance which restricts building sites to 60 foot frontages as a minimum. Mr. Hahn was advised that this would be considered a hardship case and would be referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment which board would, no doubt, authorize this use. The following property owners appeared at the meeting to discuss the various problems as regards to changing zoning from present Agriculture district to Light industrial district. Most of the speakers felt that while their property would no doubt become more valuable as industrial sites, it might be quite some titre before they would dispose of it. C. C. Watkins -3901 South Lipan -Owns 8 lots -Against Industrial zoning. Mrs. J. S. Holmes -3927 South Lipan -Owns 12 lots -For Industrial zoning.
