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
j!.>6) the Planning Commission has historically stuck by the Zoning Ordinance in
the past and he urges that this policy be continued and l) if the property does

II. A. C-137 - Continued
Mr. Grafe went on to say that 1) he is opposed to the proposed
individual lot sizes since i~ will result in an increased density
in the area 2) a total of sixteen (16) houses<fOr "~h..~'property
woOld not be as objectionable.3) the plan'..c. urrent,ly~lunder 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 'm~et with the
Subdivision Committee, but was unable to a~range an appbintment.
Chairman Lively stated that 1) the developer and the owner of the
property have tried to put forth a plan ~hat' 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 awa]~]; so, there is some seperation and 3) Mr. Grafe
has had eight (8) weeks to arrange an appointment with the Subdivision
Committee; however, the matte. r will be continued another two (2) weeks
only in order to allow Hr. Grafe time to review the plans with the Sub-
division Committee.
Co~iSSioner Harshall stated :he objected to a continuance since he
feels Mr. Grafe has had ample opportunity to state his cae and if
Mr. Grafess 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 th&t' 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 ca~ be under 10,000 square feet in size
and the subdivi~ion-:~.~ill contain open-space to compensate for the
smaller lots.
Commissioner Kraus stated tha"t he would be willing to continued the
matter and meet with Mr. Grafe; however, there is no real reason to
do so.
Commissioner Marshall stated he would withdraw his objection to a
continuance of this matter ifa Hr. Grafe agrees to walk the subject
property and look back towards the existing Blue Hills Subdivision.
Mr. Schn~..ider stated that 1) 'according to the applicantss figures
a total acreage of 5.77 is av.ailable 2) he did not jr-eel' 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 was 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 Mr. 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"~n~-amount ~ha~ ~[~'l'h~'~'i~'O
Connission take action at the ~next meeting.
The Secretary arranged with Mr. Grafe for a meeting with the Subdivision
Committee for Thursday, 17 June 1971 at 3:30 P.M.

Zoning from "R-i-20,000" (Single-Family Residential) to
"R-l-15~000" (Sin~lei-Family Residential)
Chairman Lively opened the h'earing relative to C-13~'~'t'8Y0'6 P.M.
The Secretary Stated the Not%ices of Hearing were mailed.
Commissioner Smith stated the map submitted by the'applicant
is not adequate; therefore, C-139 should be continued to allow
time for the applicant to prepare a revised map.
The Secretary explained that! the revised map should indicate only
the portion of the applicant!'S property that will be involved in
the requested ~hange of 'zoning.
Mr. Moran, applicant, statedi that 1) the topography and physical
condition of the property afZfect 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 andi4) the requested zoning would provide a
logi~al~'.transition from the "R-i-20,000" (Single-Family Residential)
on Saratoga Avenue to the "R~i-10,000" (Single-Family Residential)
zoning on Lannoy Court.
Mr. Joe Zerboni, 19951Lannoy Court, inquired ff~the correspondence
and petitions filed relative' to the applican~i's previous change of
zoning are still pertinent t~ the current request.
Chairman Lively stated that he is not in favor of a blanket reinstatement
of all correspondence that w~s filed in connection with the former
change of zoning request-~sin~e 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 "R-l-15,'~O'O"'
request.
Commissioner Kraus agreed that the correspondence should be updated.
Mr. Alan Margulls, 19961Lan~oy Court, stated that 1) he is opposed
to the proposed change of zoning 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 property'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 the proposed "R-l-15,000" zoni~g~there
will be only one (1) more house in the area than if the zoning
shown on the General Plan were applied.
