Works engineer and have now resolved any problems and differences.
Mr. Art Grafe, 12121 Saraglen Drive, stated that 1) he is directly affected
by the change of zoning since he lives in the area 2) he and his neighbors
petitioned the City several weeks ago to have a survey made to confirm the
dimensions of the property 3) according to the Tax Assessor's figures the
size of the property is 6.23 acres 4) he is anxious to determine the total
number of buildings proposed for this property and the size of the actual
" individual lots 5) it appears some lots will be approximately 5,200 square
feet in size and he is worried that this will cause degradation of his property
:~.2>6) the Planning Commission has historicall~ stuck by the Zoning Ordinance in
the past and he urges that this policy be continued and 7) if the property does

Planning Commission Minutes - 14 June' 1971 - Continued
II.. A. C-137 - Continued
Mr. Grafe went on tO say that l) he is opposed-to the proposed
individual lot sizes since it will result in an increased density
in the area 2) a total of sixteen (16) houses·for t·h~ property
would not be as objectionabl~ 3)· the. plan currently~under consid-
eration by the Planning Commission was not br. ought to the attention .
of the residents of the area and 4) he did attempt to meet with· the
Subdivision Committee, but was unable to arrange an appointment.
Chairman Lively stated that i) the developer and the owner of the
property have tried to put forth a plan that is feasible and the
Subdivision Committee has attempted to emanate the differences noted
by Mr. Grafe 2) obviously the nearest.resident to the subject develop-
ment is 75-feet away; so, there is some seperation and 3) Mr. Grafe
has had eight (8) weeks to arrange an appointment with the Subdivision
Committee; however, the matter will be continued another two (2) weeks
only in order to allow Mr. Grafe time to review the plans with the Sub-
division Committee.
Commissioner Marshall Stated he objected to a continuance since he
feels F~. Grafe has had ample opportunity to state his cae and if
Mr. Grafe's figures are used twenty (20) houses could go on the
property instead of nineteen (19) as proposed by the applicant.
The Secretary stated there is no real difference in the figures
only in the application of same.
Commissioner' Smith stated that 1) the applicant·'s figures and Mr.
Grafe's figures are the same and the revised map does not contain
any new calculations and 2). this is a "P-C" (Planned-Community)
Development and many lots can be under 10,000 square feet in size
and the subdivision ~ill contain open-space to compensate for the
smaller lots.
Cormn~ssioner Kraus stated that he would be willing to continued the
matter and meet with Mr. Grafe; however, there is no real reason to
do so.
Commissioner ~rshall stated he would withdraw his objection to a
continuance of this matter if Mr. Grafe agrees to ~lk the subject
property and look back towards the existing Blue Hills Subdivision.
~.'Schneider stated that 1). according to the appliCant's figures
a total acreage of 5.77 is available 2) he did not feel there is
sufficient disagreement to warrant a continuance of the matter and
3) the figures indicate twenty (20) lots could be allowed and only
nineteen (19) are proposed. -~.
Mr Bob Mathot, developer, stated that 1) it .~s sometime ago that
Mr. Grafe first stated that he did not have an opportunity to look
at the map and requested a continuance 2) the changes made'on the
current revised map are very minor and 3) he believes }~. Grafe's
request for another continuance is simply a ploy to further delay the
matter.
Commissioner Kraus stated that he feels a further continuance is
unfair to the developer and it should be '~an~amount ~hat the Planning
Commission take action at the next meeting.
The Secretary arranged with ~. Grafe for a meeting with the Subdivision
Committee for Thursday, 17 June 1971 at 3:30 P.M.
Chairman Lively closed the hearing for the evening at 8:06 P.M., directed

Zoning from "R-I-20,000" (Single-Family Residential) to
"R-l-15~000" (Single-Family Residential)
.Chairman Lively opened the hearing relative to C-139 at 8:06 P.M.
The Secretary stated the'N0[ices of Hearing were mailed.
Commissioner Smith stated the map submitted by the'applicant
is not adequate; therefore, iC-139 should be continued to allow
time for the applicant to prepare a revised map.
The Secretary explained that the revised map should indicateonly
the portion of the applicant's property that will be involved in
the requested change of zoning.
Mr. Moran, applicant, stated that 1) the topography and physical
condition of the property affect the development and usage 2) the
"R-l-15,000" (Single-Family Residential) zoning would permit a land
use compatible with the conditions existing on the property 3) the
subject zoning would not increase the density of any.undeveloped
land in the neighborhood and 4) the requested zoning would provide a
logical transition from the"'R-1-20,000" (Single-Family Residential)
on Saratoga Avenue to the "R-I-10,O00" (Single-Family Residential)
zoning on Lannoy Court°
Mr. Joe Zerboni, 19951 Lannoy Court, inquired iflthe correspondence
and petitions filed relative to the applican~Ts previous change of
zoning are still pertinent to the current request.
Chairman Lively stated that he is not in favor of a blanket reinstatement
of all correspondence that was filed in connection with the former
change of zoning requestssince that does not seem fair to the applicant.
Commissioner Smith recommended that all the correspondence be brought
up to date by the individuals involved to apply to the
request.
Commissioner Kraus agreed that the correspondence should be updated.
Mr. Alan Margulis, 19961Lannoy Court, stated that 1) he is opposed
to the proposed change of z6ning since it is contrary to the General
Plan and would increase the density in the area and 2) he does not
feel the applicant should be allowed to continue to revise his request
because eventually the opposition may tire of protesting and the appli-
cant will OBtain..'!approval of a zoning not in accord with the General
Plan.
Mr. Moran stated that 1) he has tried to be objective about the
, development of this propert~ 2) if he brought in a proposal for
"R-1-19,999" square foot lots there would still be some opposition
3) the lot sizes proposed are still larger thant the homes on
Lannoy Court and 4) with t~e proposed "R-l-15,000" zoning'there
will be only one (1) more house in the area than if the zoning
shown on the General Plan were applied°
Chairman Lively closed the hearing for the evening at 8:32 P.M.,
directed C-139 continued to the next regular meeting and referred
same to the Subdivision Committee°
