Mrs. Romans pointed out that on the "Checklist for Subdividers" the applicant is requested to supply the Planning Department with a list of adjacent property owners prepared by an Abstract Company. Mr. Fout is considering subdividing his property and has contacted both the Planning Of fice and the City Attorney on this matter. Mr. Fout feels the cost of having the list prepared by an Abstract Company is excessive and would like permission to have the list prepared by other means. Discussion ensued. The Commission felt the subdivider should accept all responsibility for correctness of the list submitted, and the method of obtaining the names and addresses be left up to the subdivider. It was stipulated, however, that if the list were not completely correct, the Hearing date on the Subdivision would be postponed until an accurate list was prepared and presented. VII.

Fout Subdivision Quincy and Jason Page 731 Case #10-63A Mrs. Romans reported an Engineer has been hired to draw the plan for the Subdivision of the Fout property. Mrs. Romans asked Mr. Monson to report on his review of the plans thus far submitted to the office. Mr. Monson stated 10' utility easements were indicated on the Plat; the Subdivision Regula- tions requires a minimum of 16' easements. There is an existing house on one lot; the lot has been enlarged, but the side yard requirements as set forth in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance are not met in this particular instance. The Engineer working with the Fouts has been advised of these problems.

Mrs. Romans reminded Commission members of the two rezoning hearings set for December 5, 1963. One request is for the extension of R-2-B zoning in the 3700, 3800, 3900, and 4000 blocks of South Grant, Logan , Pennsylvania, Pearl and Washington. Land Use Maps of this area were reviewed. Discussion ensued on the validity of the existing two-family uses in an area that has never been zoned in the City for other than single-family use. Mr. Rice asked that the existing uses be checked against City records to determine the validity of the non-con forming uses. Mr. Carlson stated he felt it mandatory a Housing Code be established and enforced. He commented that if this particular area were rezoned R-2, and every dwelling that could possibly accommodate two families were so used , the school could not possibly be adequate. The other rezoning request is in the 4600 block of South Acoma, east side. A Land Use Study has been made in this area also. The request is a change from R-2-B to R-4. It was noted that Mr. Boggs has stated he wants to use his property for an off-street parking lot for the Broadway businesses. An off-street parking lot requires a minimum of 100' frontage; Mr. Boggs' property has 80' frontage. Mr. Monson stated there is a drainage way through this property and two curb cuts are presently installed. Discussion followed. Mr. Touchton asked that more information be obtained as to why the curb cuts are existing. Love moved: Miles and Hill seconded: The Commission remind the City Council that a Housing Code should be considered and adopted before the first of the year. The motion carried unanimously. E.
