LUNDGREEN REZONING 855 WEST OXFORD' CASE #23-61A December 7, 1961 A brief review of the rezoning request was given. No proof has been presented that there is a need for additional R-3 zoning; it is spot zoning, and meets . none of the rezoning require- ments set up by City Council and the Planning Commission. MILES MOVED: MARTIN AND HILL SECONDED: The Rezoning request filed by Mr. Lundgreen for R-3-B be denied for the following reasons: 1. The subject area does not meet the area requirement of at least one city block that was adopted by Council Resolution on August 5, 1957. 2. The subject area is not contiguous to a like zon& classification. 3. Adequate proof has not been presented to in9icate that additional need exists for R-3 zone. , , 4. The surrounding area is no.v developed for single-family use. 5 . There was considerable objection to the request, both by written petition filed with the Planning Commission and by persons present at the public hearing before the Commission on December 7, 1961. The motion carried unanimously. III. MC CURDY REZONING AREA BETWEEN FOX · AND GALAPAGO FRONTING ON WEST OXFORD AVENUE. CASE #24-61A December 7, 1961 A review of the case was given. The area is developed for single-family residences. The subject area is now vacant; it meets none o f the rezoning requirements. Page 608 MARTIN MOVED: MILES SECONDED: The rezoning request filed by Mr. Mccurdy for R-3-B zoning be denied for the following reasons: 1. The subject area does not meet the area requirement of at least one city block that was adopted by Council Resolution on August 5, 1957. 2. The subject area is not contiguous to a like zone classification. 3. Adequate proof has not been presented to indicate that need exists within the City for additional R-3 zone. 4. An R-3-B zone classification in this area could create serious traffic problems were the site to be developed to the maximum density permitted under the present Zoning Ordinance. 5. The surrounding area is now well developed with single-family use. 6. There was considerable objection to the request both by written petition filed with the Planning Commission and by persons present at the public hearing before the Commission on December 7, 1961. The motion carried unanimously. IV. CONRAD REZONING 5000 BLOCK OF SOUTH ACOMA STREET. CASE #25-61A December 7, 1961 The area was indicated on the land use map. It 'was stated that the area is contiguous to R-3-A zoning; no proof has been presented that there is a need for additional R-3-A zoning. Mr. Kelley was excused from the meetin g . Mr. Miles was appointed acting c hairman. HILL MOVED: PERSHING SECONDED : The application for R-3 zoning submitted by Mr. Conrad be denied for the following reasons: 1. The ownership generally extends from Broadway to Acoma, and it is felt unwise to break zonings on a single ownership; therefore, it was felt that the best use of this land would be a C-2 zone classification. The motion carried unanimously. V. RUSH REZONING 4800, 4900, and 5000 BLOCK SOUTH ACOMA, THE AREA THAT IS NOW ZONED P (PARKING). CASE #26-61A December 7, 1961 It was pointed out that the people in this area have commercial frontage on Broadway. Again, ownership extends from Broadway to Acoma, and there is no dedicated alley in the 4800 or 4900 block. Mr. Rice and Mr. Kelley entered and were seated with the Commission members. It was pointed out that parking is still required in a C-2 zone. RICE MOVED: MARTIN SECONDED: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council the rezoning request submitted by Jerome Rush for C-2 zoning from Layton to Belleview, on Acoma, that is now zoned "P", be approved for the following reasons: 1. The rezoning of this area to C-2 is primarily to correct a mistake made in past zoning procedure. 2. This P-Zone area has not developed for any use up to the present time. 3. The present P-Zone does nct provide for the full development of this area, and in fact restricts any profitable development. 4. Parking requirements are adequately provided for in each of the other possible zone . classifications. 5. No alleys have been dedicated in the 4800 and 4900 blocks. 6. The existing P-Zone divides ownerships and restricts development of the tracts that extend from Broadway to Acoma. 7. Any zoning other than C-2 or R-3 would be incompatible with the existing adjacent zone classifications. 8. If zoned to C-2, this zone would be contiguous to the existing C-2 zone, and would be compatible with adjacent 'R-3 zoning. 9. Since the present owners rely primarily on Broadway frontage, it is not probable that Acoma frontage would develop. 10. The present traffic circulation in this area would probably discourage the development of Acoma frontage. 11. We feel the problem of this area is peculiar to this area only, and rezoning of this area to· C-2 does not constitute justification for -C--2 zoning in other areas. 12. There was no objection to the request at the public hearing before the Planning Commission on Decembe r 7, 1971. 13. The area included in the rezoning request is not well developed residentially.• The motion carried unanimously. VI. NAZARENUS REZONING AREA BETWEEN MARION AND DOWNING FROM A POINT BEGINNING 100' SOUTH OF HAMPDEN AVE. TO THE LINE JUST NORTH OF HIGHWAY #70. MILES MOVED: RICE SECONDED: The matter be raised from the table. The motion carried unanimously. CASE #18-61C October 5, 1961 September 21, 1961 September 7, 1961 I' I I I I Page 609 The area was incidated on the land use map. A brief history of the area was given . It does constitute a full city block with the exception of the C-2 zoning on Hampden Avenue. The discussion at the public hearing was briefly reviewed. It was pointed out that there was considerable opposition to the R-3 zone request by residents . of the area. It is not conti g uous to like R-3 zoning. Mr. Rice stated it was his understanding that the State Highway Department plans to make Hi g hway #70 an expressway and restrict access to the highway. He suggested the Commission ~nitiate an R-2-A zoning in the area. Discussion followed. HILL MOVED: PERSHING SECONDED: The rezoning request filed by Mr. Nazarenus be denied for the following reasons: 1. The study made of the subject area does not indicate that at this time a high density zone classification is justified. 2. Adequate proof of need for multi-family zoning has not been presented by the applicant to justify the rezoning of this area to R-3-B. 3. There was considerable oppositi0n by adjacent property owners to the rezoning of this area for an R-3 use. 4. The development of this area as a high density use could create serious parking, traffic and pedestrian problems. 5. With the exception of the commercial development on East Hampden, the area is developed with single-family and two-family uses. The two-family uses were made non-conforming by the Zoning Ordinance of 1955 which changed the zoning from R-2 to R-1-D. 6. The area is not contiguous to an R-3 zone classification. The motion carried unanimously. VII. JENSEN SUBDIVISION CASE #20-61D October 19, 1961 September 21, 1961 August 10, 1961 July 20, 1961 The area considered in the subdivision was shown on the map. The developer has met every requirement set forth , with · a possible question of 8' easements. MARTIN MOVED: HILL SECONDED: The preliminary plat of the Jensen Subdivision, Third Filing, be approved. The motion carried unanimously. VIII. RARITAN INDUSTRIAL PARK CASE #21-61B October 19, 1961 October 5, 1961 Mrs. Romans asked Commission members if they felt West Caspian Place should go through on the south of the proposed subdivision. It was her feeling that a street should be opened up if possible. In the Industrial area, an 80' street width is required, and an alley width of 20'. There are no sewer lines available to this area at the present time. Mr. Rice felt that in an Industrial Park development such as this, that it is necessary that Caspian Place go through. MILES MOVED: RICE SECONDED: The preliminary plat of the Raritan Industrial Park be approved, subject to a 20' alley, and the north half of West Caspian Place being dedicated. The motion carried unanimously. - ------'~ IX. CARMEL PARK CASE #22-61B December 5 , 1961 October 19, 1961 Mrs. Romans stated she had met with the City Attorney and Building Inspector. Mr. Esch has ruled that Peerless Builders cannot be required to dedicate 1 /2 of Cherokee, as they are not leaving residents of this area without access; also that building permits may be issued by metes and bounds. Mr. Hill felt they should be required to dedicate 1 /2 of Cherokee Street. Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Berland had been in to see the Building Inspector, and was ready to get his permits for lots 9, 10, 15 and 16. She further stated there was a 20' setback requirement that she did not feel was being met along Acoma. The developer wants to have the portion of Bannock from Grand south vacated, and will dedicate the portion of Acoma they have title to. Mr. Merton h-as indicated approval of their ingress-egress plans for Belleview. Discussion followed. . ' MARTIN MOVED: RICE SECONDED: The matter be tabled for further study. AYES: NAYS: Hill, Martin, Pershing, Rice, Kelley Miles The motion carried. Page 610 X. CINDERELLA CITY SITE PLANS CASE #29-61D Mrs. Romans gave a brief report oµ a meeting held earlier in the week with Messrs. Rudd, Wallace, Babcock and Barde. Mr. Barde has stated the present drainage plans do not coincide with the original plans submitted by Meurer-Serafini-Meurer. The pipes are not as large as originally indicated. Also, the delegation felt there should be a 46' street from curb to curb on Floyd and Lafayette. An additional setback of 5' would be required. The baffle screening presents a traffic hazard, but it is felt ~hat they can be eliminated at all points, with the exception of the ingress-egress at a point b~tween Floyd and Girard on Lafayette. Also, it is felt the entrance at Girard should be widened. It was felt there will be no need for sidewalks around this site. MARTIN MOVED: RICE SECONDED: The preliminary site plans be approved subject to corrections and modifications of drainage, street width, ingress-egress, baffle screening, and additional right-of-way. Discussion followed. Mr. Hill stated he did not feel the 60 days restriction was binding as the case is now under litigation. He did not feel the Commission should give approval until it is shown that the developer intends to fulfill his statements on the drainage. Mr. Miles felt the Commission should check very carefully all plans of drainage a~d traffic. After discussion, Mr. Martin withdrew his motion. MARTIN MOVED: RICE SECONDED: The Plannjng Commission give a letter to Mr. Holland indicating approval of the Preliminary Site Plans when the corrections and modifications AYES: NAYS: are made and resubmitted. Martin, Miles; Pershing, Rice; Kelley Hill The motion carried. XI. NEW BUSINESS A. There was discussion on the staffing of the Planning Office. Mrs. Romans felt all the work pending could be done in this office, if the staff was adequate. At this time, only two people are working full time in the office on both the Planning and Traffic phase. Most of their time is taken up with the day to day problems, and leaves no time to work on the revision of the Zoning Ordinance and the Master Plan. Mr. Hill suggested the Planning Commission work on a resolution to City Council setting forth the problems in the staffing of the Planning Office. Mr. Rice agreed with Mr. Hill that something would have to be done in order to obtain sufficient staff help to perform the duties that the Planning Commission has been charged by the City Charter and State Statute to do. B. Mrs. Romans stated she had been contacted by Mr. Adams in regard to the Riverside Industrial Park Subdivision. He would like to have the name changed from Riverside Industrial Park to Centennial Industrial Park. XII. OLD BUSINESS A. Mrs. Romans briefly discussed the denial of an extension of time to Mrs. Ringenberg of the Elm Trailer Court. B. Mrs. Romans discussed a proposal to extend Baltic Pla~e from . Tejon to Zuni. owners do not want the street paved until the sewer and gas lines are put in. it would be good planning to accept the dedication of Baltic Place. Meeting adjourned at 11:15 P.M.
