Residential) - Continued from 10 [~y 1971
The hearing was reopened at 7:41 P.M. The Secreta~ recommended that this
matter be continued since there has been some question relative to a proper
~otice of hearing and the list of names submitted By the applicant requires
further verification and it .may be' necessary for t~e applicant to render a
new list.
~ommissioner Smith state'd that the Subdivision Co~ittee met with ~. Sheets
.. of 12444 Ted Avenue and another gentlemen from the area who are present at
~his time and may want to present some points for the applicant to consider.

will be put on this property and how the land. wil!..be .d.~y~ded? .....................
Chairman' Lively stated that the plot plan indicates eleven (11) lots and the
applicant has proposed a series of duplexes with t~o (2). lots and a total of
twenty two (22) units. The plan will be available for review at the inter-
mission or at the City Offices during office. hours.
~o~issioner Smith stated that the neighbors objected because they are in an
-"R-i" zoning district and it would lower the 'value of the property adjacent to
the subject property if duplexes Were allowed on the property. .He further
stated that the applicant and his neighbors should get together and arrive
a~ a c~promise that would be acceptable to both ~rties.
~. Wes Kosich, 18867 Kosich ~ive, representing the applicant stated that
'1) the duplexes would not lessen the value of adjacent properties since their
~alue 'is' $60,000 for each duplex building of two (2) dwelling units and the
applicant did meet with some of the neighbors and they seemed to be in accord
with the proposed plan as long as the buildings remained one-story and 2) the
largest parcel is 200-feet in depth and 500-feet in width facing on ~Sanka
and he cannot see any reason for opposition if the property is developed as
~roposed.
Co~issioner Smith stated that t6 mee~....~he_...or. dinan~e_ moy~ .yid~h pe-~' 'lot
