Kenneth Spaulding as Administrator for the estate of Ted Burnett. Legal being: Lots 8, 9 10, 11 and 12, Block 4, Rosalind Heights; northeast corner of Onora Road and Palmetto Avenue. The Stemper Real Estate Agency represented a Mr. Tauscher and a Mr. Beder as interested parties proposing to construct a modern, multiple -unit apartment building to serve the area. The request of rezoning being from that of R -2, one and two family district to an R -3, multiple family dwelling district. Mr. Stemper stated that the proposed purchasers were planning initially from 8 to 12 apartments in a modern, two -story building facing on Onora Road, setting back approximately 30 feet, with attractive landscaping on the front. Mr. Spaulding submitted letters to the Kader's and the Fisher's, who are property immediate area, which stated that they had the R -2 zoning to that of R -3. Board from the owners in the no objection to charging Mr. Ott of 113 E. Onora Road, in an R -lA zoning.and on an angle across the street from the property under hearing, strongly objected to the.lowering of the zoning. He stated that he was under the impression, until now, that the property under hearing was zoned for single family dwelling rather than the one and two family dwelling district, but still was objecting strongly to any further lowering. Z & P minutes 8/20/64 _2_ Mr. and Mrs. John Russell, living on Magnolia and diagonally across from the property under hearing, was opposed to lowering the zoning. The Board mentioned the fact that, this same property and administrator had been denied a rezoning request to that of C -1 in September of 1962, due to the fact that it was for speculation and there were no concrete basis for the request. After lengthy discussion in an executive session, the majority of the Board felt that Q SeRr3 zoning would be a good buffer zoning between the /R -2 and C -1 and allow the long- time vacant property to be put to use. It was moved by Mr. Wharton, seconded by Dr. Smith and carried that it be recommended to the City Commission that the property on the east side of Palmetto Avenue from Onora Road to the north city limits line, which includes Lots 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, Block 4, Rosalind Heights, be rezoned from R -2 to that of R -3. The Building Official brought to the Board's attention that some study should be given to the minimum set backs in the C -1 and C-2 zones as set forth in the multiple family districts pertaining to maximum lot coverage. No action was taken at this time. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Chairman Secretary
