matter be continued since there has been some question relative to a proper
n~tice of hearing and the list of. names submitted by the applicant requires

of 12444 Ted Avenue and another gentlemen from the area who are present at
this time and ,nuy want to present: some ~oints for the applicant to consider.

will be put on this property and how the land will.. be..divided? ..........
Chairman Lively stated that the plot plan indicates eleven (11) lots and the
applicant has proposed a series of duplexes with two (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.
Commissioner Smith stated that the neighbors objected because they are in an
'~-1" 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
at a compromise that would be acceptable to both parties.
Nr. Wes Kosich, 18867 Kosich Drive, representing the applicant 'stated that
1) the duplexes would not lessen the value of adjacent properties since their
value .$6,000 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 DeSanka
and he cannot see any reason for opposition if the property is developed as
proposed.
Cowanissioner Smith stated that i'to meet the ordinance more width per lo~"
"~il'I 'h~ to W~' p~ovided.

Nr. Jack Young, 12385 DeSanka Avenue, suggested that the traffic plan
be altered to detour through the ~ommercial area at the corner of

tracks.
Mr..B.T. Galeb, applicant, was p~esent and stated that 1) he is, also,
interested in controlling the traffic in the area 2) the neighbors have
a right to be heard 3) the Planning Comnission has a responsibility to
use their might to do right 4) a:sub-standard development could be put
on the property; however, this would not be marketable and he prefers
high grade buildings that can be Controlled, but he cannot have this
without the cooperation of his neighbors and the Planning Commission
and 5) this is a problem area that requires special consideration.
Mr. John B. Monney, 12385 Ted Avenue, stated that 1) he has not'.received.
(for the second time in a row) a Notice of Hearing relative to this appli-
cation and 2) he can see no reason why DeSanka Avenue and Sea Gull Way
should not be connected to provid~ ingress and egress for this develop-
ment in lieu of the proposed Ted Avenue-DeSanka Avenue connection.
Mr. Thomas R. Pocha~i, owner of the propert~ at 20331'Zorka Avenue,
