M. Members Present: Hill, Romans, Kreiling, Rice, Kelley Munns, Nies;, Ex-officio Members Absa:it: Martin I. School Board Englewood Access to S chool Property Area Bounded on the West by South Bannock-South Acoma Alley; on the east by South Acoma-Broadway alley; on the north by Highway No. 70; on south by City Ditch. Hearing No. 37-60 A letter addressed to the Chairman of the Planning Commission and written by the Board of Education was read aloud to the members present. Briefly, it described the problem existing at Commerce Park due to questioned rights of ingress and egress. Mrs. Romans reported that since the Commission Chairman was on vacation and the School Board wanted information, that the Planning Director, upon receipt of a copy of the letter, had contacted the School Board offering to assist in solving this problem. The proposal for development of Commerce Park which was presented to the School Board was then shown to the Planning Commission members. It consisted of the use of an off-ramp to gain ingress to the property with egress onto Bannock Street or West Jefferson Avenue. During the discussion which followed several points were brought out: 1. An agreement between the City and the State which prohibited the City from ~aking cer- tain changes along Highway No. 70 without prior approval of the State. 2. Low density use for the park would be desirable because of the attending traffic hazards. 3. That allowable uses included such currently popular medium density projects as motels, office buildings and hotels. 4. That a liquor outlet might be procured if it were more than 500 feet from Flood Junior High School. It was suggested that a letter incorporating the following ideas be sent to the School Board with copies to the Planning Commission: 1. The Planning Commission's feeling on the curb cut question. 2. Our offer to cooperate on a zoning change, if needed, to make the best use of thE parcel. 3. Volunteering the services of the staff. 4. Copies of the letter to the Planning Commission members. Hill so moved: Kreiling seconded: The motion carried unanimously. Oliner Hatfield Staff Report: After discussion, Hill moved: Rice seconded: Rezoning Area bounded on north by West Ithaca Avenue; on the south by West Jefferson Avenue; on the west by South Delaware; on the east by the ~o uth Bannock-South Cherokee .Streets Alley from R-3-B (multiple dwelling) to R-1-D (one-family dwelling) to R-2-A (two- family dwelling). Hearing No. 26-60E June 9, 1960 June 23, 196 0 July 7, 1960 July 21, 1960 August 4, 1960 The background of the case reveals that the present R-3-B zoning originated in the 1955 Zoning Ordinance and that the action to change this zoning stems from an abortive attempt to extend the R-3-B further into an R-1-D zone. At first the present rezoners tried to change the zoning of the property to R-1-D. It was later decided that R-2-A would be more equitable and so the informally proposed change to R-1-D was dropped and the current attempt at rezoning from R-3-B to R-2-A took its place. A hearing was held on August 4, 1960 at which the Pros .and Cons were heard and duly noted. At the following Planning Session on August 18, 1960, the problem was dis- cussed and a tie vote was recorded on the motion that the rezoning be denied. Ayes: Hill, Kreiling. Nays: Rice, Romans. That the rezoning be denied as the Board does not have the right to de- prive the owners of the highest and best use. Ayes: Hill, Kreiling, Kelley Nays: Romans, Rice Absent: Martin The motion to deny carried.

Oxford Oxford Heights Subdivision W. Oxford, between Huron and Inca, south of Nassau Hearing No. 15-60D March 24, 1960 April 7, 1960 August 18, 1960 Romans moved: Rice seconded: That the hearing be opened. The motion carried unanimol.Ely. Staff Report: The Planning Director displayed the final plan for the Oxford Heights Subdivision and stated that proper notices of hearing had been posted and mailed. There was one more lot on the plat than had been shown on the Prelimi n ary Design because the property owner to the south sold his property to the Wilson Investment Company. The only remaining problem was the legal method of dedicating the cul-de-sac to the City. This was to be worked out by the staff. While Lots 7 through 13 were less than the required width (58.18 feet instead of 60 feet) all were over the required minimum area. The Chairman asked for comments Pro and Con from the people present regarding the sub- division. R. J. Hogland 4055 So. Huron Mr. Hogland, owner of one of the lots in the subdivision was wondering about the size of his lot. The Planning Director told him that his particular lot was 71 feet by 133 feet. I I I
