Planning Director Bills presented the application of Norman A.

Mr. Bills advised that the Planning Commission had indicated preliminary approval of this subdivision and explained that if this were zoned R-l there would be approximately three lots to an acre, whereas, on an R-E zoning, there could be only two lots to an acre. Commissioner Fountain moved the application of Norman A. Jacobson for reclassification of property legally described as the E½ of the SW¼ of the NE¼ of Sec. 30, T20S, R6lE, M.D.B. & M., comprising approximately 20 acres, generally located on the North side of Washington Avenue, approximately 660' West of Twin Lakes Village Subdivision, from R-E to R-1 be approved, as recommended by the Planning Commission, and the City Attorney instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance amendment.

Planning Director Bills presented the application of Grinnell Company of the Pacific for reclassification of Lots 5 through 10, Block 3, Moss Tract #2, generally located on the south side of Isabelle Avenue, between 21st and 25th Streets, from R-1 to R-4. Mr. Bills explained that these lots were in the middle of a block which is zoned R-1; that, with the exception of two vacant lots, all other lots in the immediate area had been developed with single family dwellings (some within the past year); that to zone the 6 lots in question R-4 would be incompatible with existing single family dwellings and, in addition, would place an additional load on the sewer system, and it was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that this application be denied.
